Get ready for a thrilling episode of The TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan as they dive into Donald Trump’s Gulf tour. Fresh into his second term, Trump visits Saudi Arabia and Qatar, securing a $142B arms deal and pursuing $1T in investments. Will his rapport with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bring Saudi Arabia into the Abraham Accords? Or will Gaza’s war and Palestinian statehood demands derail it?
The stakes rise with Trump’s plan to use a $400M Qatari jet as a temporary Air Force One. Defense officials warn of security risks, citing missing secure comms and nuclear command systems. Is this a daring move or a constitutional violation? Ted and Manila dissect the emoluments clause controversy and debate if it’s a “Qatari bribe.”
