It is nice to have clear consistent, well thought out, policies from a president …

“The nation of Qatar has unfortunately been a funder of terrorism, and at a very high level,” Mr. Trump said on Friday at the White House. He added “the time has come to call on Qatar to end its funding.”
There are more than 10,000 U.S. service members at the U.S. central command base in Qatar. The U.S. commander there has said there are “no plans to change our posture in Qatar” amid a Gulf diplomatic crisis. Qatar is quick to remind the U.S. of this working relationship.
“When no one wanted to host your troops after 9/11, we did. We protected them. Saudi Arabia asked you to leave,” said Meshal bin Jamad al Thani, the Qatari ambassador to the U.S. Qataris believe that the blockade of their country is politically motivated by the Saudis in an effort to flex their muscle in the region.
Yousef Al Otaiba, the United Arab Emirates Ambassador to the U.S., has suggested that the U.S. consider moving their base there. Qatar has received no indications of U.S. plans to do so, and they are not asking them to leave or change their operations in any way.
“None of our people attacked the U.S.,” said al Thani, a nod to the Saudis who were involved in the Sept 11th terrorist attacks.
Our friends in Saudi Arabia ARE the number one, spreading their most radical form of Islam, with money, and of course their citizens leaving to fly “Air bin Laden”.
That looks like Trump’s skirt blowing up. He has helped to radicalize more Muslims than any other president. He has also radicalized more Christians. His panties are showing, and the world is getting less stable, while other countries laugh at us.

That should be Saudi Arabia, a US friend and ally since 1945. And a huge funder of terrorism of fanatical Islamics.
