Donald Trump has had a remarkably successful trip through the Middle East in recent days. Incredibly successful, that is, for the Trump Organization.
He has been offered a $400 million jet by the government of Dubai. It is a “gift to the nation,” but only Trump will be able to use it. Not everyone is thrilled because the cost of turning it into Air Force 1 will be hundreds of millions, some estimates as high as $1 billion. The mammoth plane has been on the market since 2020, with no bidders.
The Trump Organization will be building two high-rise luxury buildings (Trump Towers) in Saudi Arabia.
The Trump Organization will be building a luxury golf resort in Qatar.
The Trump family made a deal with an Emeriti-backed firm, which invested $2 billion in Trump’s stablecoin.
The Trump International Hotel and Tower in Dubai just opened.
Trump met with the new leader of Syria, who previously served as the chief of Al Queda in Syria, and the first Trump administration had a $10 billion bounty on his head. Trump agreed to cancel All US sanctions on Syria, and Syria granted the Trump Organizatuon permission to build a Trump Hotel in Damascus. A win-win!
Trump says that the Arab nations will be investing in the U.S. The details will be revealed later.
This has been a great week for the Trump family.
Meanwhile, Trump did not schedule a visit to Israel, did not use his influence with Netanyahu to demand an end to the three-month blockade of food and humanitarian aid into Gaza. Trump showed no interest in this tragedy.
