Trump calls MBS a ‘warrior’ after making derogatory comment

US President Donald Trump used on Saturday used a derogatory comment when he spoke of the Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during his speech in Miami today.

Donald Trump claimed that the crown prince had “never thought he’d be kissing my ass” and had underestimated him as “just another American president.”

The US president’s comments immediately grabbed headlines which becomes not just for its discussion of the ongoing conflict with Iran, but beyond.

The crude language drew gasps and laughs alike from the audience, reflecting on the change of the US policy toward the Gulf States, as Trump quickly shifted gears.

Interestingly, the US president also shifted the gears soon after the remarks, calling the MBS a “fantastic man” and repeatedly praised him as a “warrior.”

He credited the crown prince for standing by the US during the Trump-Netanyahu launched war on Iran.

Trump even shared an anecdote about the two leaders holding hands, a moment he interpreted as a symbol of respect and recognition of American strength under his leadership.

The speech continued in the manner what experts describe as double standard in one expression, appreciating, in a frustrated form, the respect being received from the Gulf allies after the NATO partners denied to join the efforts with him in opening the Strait of Hormuz.

He also recounted how MBS had once described the US as a “dead country” but now saw it as “the hottest country anywhere in the world.”

Analysts believe that the middle position that Trump chooses to follow comes as a classic Trump rhetorical move.

They also say that the president is expert in constantly changing his attitude, making it exactly as suited to a context. He in his tone is both provocative, unpredictable, as well as guaranter, dominating the news cycle, they believe.

By the time the speech ended, the focus had shifted from the crude remark itself to the surprising way Trump crowned MBS a “warrior” in the same breath.Trump calls MBS a ‘warrior’ after making derogatory comment
