got an escort in Saudi Arabia… not that kind. A military escort—from the Saudi Air Force.

Trump touched down as #47, kicking off his first major international trip of the second term. Usually, presidents go to Canada, Mexico, or a NATO ally first. Trump picked Saudi Arabia — because that’s where the money is. The Saudis rolled out the lavender carpet. Over there, lavender is a symbol of generosity — it represents the blossoming wildflowers in their deserts. Trump, right on cue, was rocking a lavender tie to match.

The Saudi Crown Prince broke protocol and greeted Trump personally on the tarmac. Usually, they’d send an underling. Trump got a handshake. (Remember,
@JoeBiden
gave the Prince a fist bump — after calling him a pariah — then begged the kingdom to pump more oil. The Prince said HECK NO). Dozens of Arabian horsemen holding American and Saudi flags escorted him through the streets. In Saudi Arabia, horses represent beauty, nobility, and pride — whereas in America, they’re just another thing we bet on.

The most meaningful symbol of all? A mobile McDonald’s truck. But Trump was the main attraction. He managed to shake every hand in Saudi Arabia. If you were a Saudi citizen, you probably shook his hand.

The point of the trip is to tell the region: “Let’s make money, not war.” Nobody wants their legacy written in blood. Put down the sword and take out the checkbook. But if there’s no respect, there’s no mercy. That was a message to the Iranians and all of their proxies in the region — and, for that matter, anyone around the world who gets frisky. It’s just day one of the Mid-East tour, and Trump’s already bringing home the bacon — the biggest arms deal in history.
