President Trump delivered a fiery speech in Saudi Arabia calling out decades of failed U.S. foreign policy. At a major investment forum, he slammed past presidents for playing world police instead of protecting American interests.
The 45th president declared it’s not America’s job to lecture other nations or force democracy at gunpoint. “Too many leaders used our military like Sunday school teachers with bombs,” Trump said. He vowed to never waste trillions on nation-building schemes that leave cities like Kabul in ruins.
Trump contrasted his “America First” victories with the globalist disasters of previous administrations. He highlighted booming Middle East partnerships that created jobs instead of jihadists. “We’re building skyscrapers, not burying body bags,” he told cheering crowds.
The business-focused forum showcased $40 billion in new U.S.-Saudi deals – from energy projects to tech startups. Trump praised Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for modernizing the kingdom without bowing to woke Western demands. “Real progress comes from respect, not regime change lectures,” he said.
In a direct shot at Biden, Trump blasted the “weakness” that let Iran terrorize the region. He reminded listeners how his maximum pressure campaign had crippled terrorist funding until Biden’s “surrender” revived it. “You don’t stop bullies by handing them billions,” Trump growled.
The speech emphasized Middle Eastern solutions for Middle Eastern problems. Trump celebrated Arab nations crushing ISIS without U.S. ground troops. “They didn’t need American kids dying in their deserts – they needed Washington to stop arming their enemies,” he said.
On moral leadership, Trump drew clear lines: “It’s God’s job to judge nations. My job is to keep America safe.” He mocked politicians who claim divine wisdom while creating chaos. The crowd erupted when he added, “Maybe the ‘experts’ should start praying instead of preaching.”
Closing with a vision of peace through strength, Trump promised four more years of putting Americans first. “The era of apologies is over. The future belongs to patriots who protect their people,” he vowed as Saudi and U.S. flags waved side by side.
