WATCH: Trump Calls MONSTER International Leader A 'Great Guy'
Former President Donald Trump said Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is a “a great guy.”
- 7 minutes
How would you describe the relationship
between the United States
and Saudi Arabia,
and what kind of role do you think they
can play in the crisis in the Middle East?
I think it's fine right now.
When I was president, it was great with
capital letters G-r-e-a-t great and so
[00:00:18]
much respect for the King, so much respect
for Mohammed, who's doing so great.
I mean, he's really a visionary.
He's done things that nobody else
would have even thought about
his his very long city that he's building.
He's he's really doing something.
He's a great guy and he's doing
he's respected all over the world.
[00:00:38]
The guy that Donald Trump is referring to
is Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
He did do things
that nobody else has ever thought of.
He invited, an American journalist
to the embassy in Turkey and then had his
thugs chop him to pieces, dismembered him.
[00:00:55]
I've never seen an
American journalist dismembered before.
That's the kind of visionary
Mohammed bin Salman is.
Donald Trump, of course,
let him off the hook.
And now he says he's a visionary.
Another thing Mohammed bin Salman did
was he captured the other princes
based on potential information.
The Trump administration might have
given him, kidnaped him, held him hostage
[00:01:13]
and took most of their money,
and has set off a fundamentalist rule
in Saudi Arabia that is militant and awful
and disastrous, and also doesn't listen
to Trump or Biden or anyone else.
And no, he's not respected
around the world.
[00:01:28]
He's one of the most loathed leaders
on the planet.
But if you're given Donald Trump
and his family money,
Donald Trump will respect you.
So that leads me to this reporting on the
Hill, Loren Irwin says earlier this year,
the Trump Organization announced
it would be building a Trump
Tower building in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
[00:01:46]
Listen, as long as the, you know,
country's leader is willing to provide
cookies for our politicians,
politicians will provide
all sorts of cover for the bad acts
and in some cases, atrocities
that are carried out by these leaders.
[00:02:02]
And hey, at least some
Muslim leader in this case.
Yeah, that gives me no relief
or comfort at all, obviously.
And so so the Trump Tower scam
is a great scam because that's not
just giving campaign contributions.
That's saying we are going
to license your name and we will give you
[00:02:21]
whatever we think is fair for that license
of your name on that building.
That's just a foreign government bribing
him, period goes straight into his pocket.
But if you think that bribe is big.
The Hill also reports the Saudi government
has also invested 2 billion
[00:02:36]
with Trump's son in law, Jared Kushner.
The crown prince said last year
that Kushner's private equity fund would
not be affected by a second Trump term.
So that money is going to keep flowing
to Trump no matter what,
and maybe a lot more to come.
If Trump and Kushner are good boys
and they let them kill
[00:02:53]
any American journalist that they like.
Okay, so by the way, to be fair to Trump,
he did have criticism for someone
regarding Saudi Arabia.
Let's find out who it was.
Biden goes over there and he fist bumps.
You don't fist bump.
You go over there and you do it right.
You shake a hand or something, you hug.
[00:03:12]
You do.
But it could never be great
with a guy like Biden could never be.
I don't even think
it would be good with Kamala.
So the big problem isn't your son
in law taking $2 billion, or you
taking a direct bribe from the Saudis?
[00:03:28]
Is that Joe Biden fist bumped the Saudi
crown prince instead of hugging him?
Wow. I think you got him, Donald.
- Anna.
- Yeah, I just I'm sick of all of this.
And I'm sick of politicians
being far more concerned
[00:03:46]
about doing what's right for them,
as opposed to doing what's right for, in
most cases, the American people, in this
case, for the international community.
Sanitizing and laundering the reputation
of a man who literally ordered the murder
[00:04:03]
and decapitation of Jamal Khashoggi,
a US resident Washington Post journalist.
Remember, Trump was the one
who provided cover for that.
He was the one who wanted to prevent MBS
from facing any consequences for that.
That's right.
And in the past, he said, the Saudis
gave me 30, $40 million for my apartments.
[00:04:23]
Am I, you know,
am I not supposed to like them?
In other words,
I don't care if they chop you up.
I don't care about protecting
American citizens as long as these
sons of bitches keep bribing me.
I'm going to let them chop up
any American they like.
Remember? Israel first.
[00:04:38]
Saudi Arabia second.
America third. America third.
Well, Russia. So. America fourth.
America fourth. Okay.
Wow.
What a what a populist you are,
Donald Trump.
Which leads us to Trump brackets.
We're at the final four now.
We're calling it the foulest four.
As for disgusting things
he's done narrowed down from hundreds
[00:04:57]
by our audience.
The voting is at Trump brackets.com.
This one is only open 24 hours
so you got to go vote.
Last ones were thrilling.
Did the murder of his vice president
or the attempted murder that he didn't
mind making it into the Final Four.
Well, let's find out.
So first one is called for the termination
of all rules, regulations
[00:05:15]
and articles in the Constitution versus
engaged in a scheme to use fake electors
to overturn the election results.
Well, that's a super tough one, because
one is trying to overturn the election
results by using fake electors that were
not even his own fake real electors.
[00:05:32]
That's just a coup attempt.
But the other one is while we're
in the middle of the coup attempt,
I'd like to terminate the Constitution.
How do you make that decision?
I don't know, you guys are
gonna have to make
that tough call at Trump brackets.com.
I'm not sure how I'm voting on that one.
And then the other half of the final four
bracket here is threatened to target
[00:05:51]
his political opponents if reelected
and impeached for refusing
peaceful transition of power.
That one is specifically about
the non peaceful transition where they
did the riot on January 6th, etc..
So there's different parts
of how he planned the coup
[00:06:08]
that made it into the Final Four.
The murderer of the Vice president
did not make the Final Four.
Him saying he didn't mind it.
But in case you missed the threat
to his political opponents,
he says it in many different ways.
Here's one of the ways that he said it.
But wouldn't it be terrible
to throw the president's wife
[00:06:25]
and the former secretary of state?
You think of it, the former secretary
of state, but the president,
the president's wife into jail.
Wouldn't that be a terrible thing?
But they want to do it.
So, you know, it's like it's
it's a terrible, terrible path
[00:06:42]
that they're leading us to.
And it's very possible that it's going
to have to happen to them.
It's going to have to happen to them
whether they committed a crime or not.
He mentioned no crime.
Every time he talks about
arresting his political opponents,
[00:06:57]
he never mentions a crime.
And what is this thing about?
Nobody's threatening
to arrest Melania Trump.
That's. I've never heard that in my life.
That's him saying, Joe, if you don't
watch yourself, I'll arrest Jill Biden,
the person you care most about.
He's such a like thug
is what makes him sound too cool.
[00:07:15]
He's like he's one of the worst people
and right now he currently
small lead in this election.
Unreal. And a thoughts on on these no.
No thoughts. Okay.
All bad. Yeah.
All bad all very bad.
You guys get to decide Trump brackets.com.
[00:07:32]
Last thing is remember
in the beginning we did a contest
and somebody's going to win $1,000.
Whoever gets the the most right answers.
And there's ten people
easily within contention right now
as we're in the foulest four.
And so three are leading at 86
but many people close behind.

who's going to get this thousand dollars.
