"Trumpf junta apparatchiks appear to be open to the idea of giving away hardworking American taxpayer dollars to fat-cat oil oligarchs in the Middle East. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, one of Dummkopf Trumpf's idiotic economic advisors bleated:

The UAE has not been that helpful. In January 2026, the UAE announced that it will not allow "its airspace, territory, or territorial waters be used for any hostile military actions against Iran."

Is it really that bad in the UAE? Are people there buying fewer luxury sports cars?

They are starving in the UAE.

The hardworking American taxpayer is about to send his/her money to a country that provides universal healthcare for all its residents and expatriates.

Meanwhile we have the BBB and hundreds of thousands of people declaring bankruptcy over medical bills every year.

This is what happens when an electorate is stupid enough to elect someone who is clearly bought and paid for by outside interests.

The electoral college exists specifically to protect us from a stupid electorate.
