Order Michael Finch’s new book, A Time to Stand: HERE. Prof. Jason Hill calls it “an aesthetic and political tour de force.”
On November 18, 2025, Trump and the Saudi Crown Prince walked into the Oval Office and treated it like a showroom floor. Every sentence was a sales pitch. Every claim was polished to sound like victory. And every lie was delivered with the confidence of people who assume the public won’t bother checking the fine print.
What you’re about to read is a highlight reel of contradictions, fantasy numbers, selective memory, and the kind of strategic blindness that gets entire regions burned to the ground.
They said the quiet parts out loud, assuming no one would connect the dots.
So I did.
Below is the transcript, broken open and exposed using their own words as evidence.
THE HUMAN RIGHTS LIE
THE CLAIM
“What he’s done is incredible in terms of human rights and everything else.”
THE TRUTH
Saudi Arabia remains one of the most repressive regimes on Earth:
There are no churches, because non-Islamic worship is not allowed to exist openly.
There are no political parties, because political opposition is illegal.
There is no free press, because every publication operates under state control and censorship.
Torture is well-documented, used regularly against detainees and critics.
Executions are carried out by sword, often in public squares.
Dissidents, activists, and critics are imprisoned, sometimes without charges, trials, or due process.
The war in Yemen remains a humanitarian catastrophe, fueled in part by Saudi military intervention.
When the President of the United States calls the architect of all that “incredible on human rights,” the world understands one thing:
Principles are for sale.
And our enemies are ready to buy.
WHEN $1 TRILLION BUYS A COUNTRY
THE CLAIM
“You’ve agreed to invest $600 billion into the United States… we are going to increase that 600 billion to almost $1 trillion… real investment, real opportunity.”
THE REALITY
This isn’t charity, and it isn’t “supporting American workers.” It is Saudi Arabia buying a massive stake in America’s future:
– They are not handing America money; they are buying assets.
– They will own pieces of our AI, our chip supply, our energy infrastructure, our turbines, our plants, our tech, our finance.
– They will sit inside key sectors, not outside cheering them on.
“Investment” in this context means ownership, control, and leverage over critical parts of the American economy for decades.
Once a foreign monarchy holds that kind of position inside your core systems, they don’t have to lobby you from the outside. They can influence you from the inside:
– They can pressure politicians with the threat of pulling capital.
– They can shape what gets built, where, and under whose rules.
– They can quietly steer decisions on technology, data, energy, and security through the companies and projects they bankroll.
And unlike American citizens, they won’t need to follow American rules to profit from American systems.
That $1 trillion is being sold to the public as “jobs and growth.” In reality, it is a long-term buy-in to American power structures by a regime that does not share our values, our freedoms, or our idea of human rights.
THE “WE DESTROYED IRAN’S NUCLEAR PROGRAM” DELUSION
THE CLAIM
“We wiped out the nuclear capacity of Iran… nobody else could have done that.”
THE TRUTH
Iran moved 400 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium before the B-2 strike.
The facility was relocated to Kolang Mountain, a site physically unreachable by any current military weapon on Earth.
Iran’s nuclear program was not “wiped out.”
The American public is being told a victory happened while Iran prepares 2,000-missile simultaneous launch capability, openly planning retaliatory strikes that would overwhelm Iron Dome and cripple Israel.
Declaring victory when the threat is evolving is negligence.
THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS LIE REPACKAGED
THE CLAIM
“We talked about the Abraham Accords… we have a very good feeling.”
THE TRUTH
Saudi Arabia did not normalize relations with Israel.
They did not join the Accords.
They did not give recognition.
They did not open embassies.
In this meeting, they didn’t even commit to movement, only “a good feeling.” Which means nothing changed except the optics.
A “good feeling” is not policy.
And yet it was sold to the public as though peace had been achieved.
False peace is how nations walk into war blindfolded.
THE SYRIA SANCTIONS CONFESSION
Here is the moment the mask didn’t just slip, it hit the floor.
THE CLAIM
“I lifted the sanctions on Syria at the request of the Crown Prince… and Erdogan.”
TRANSLATION
This wasn’t American policy driven by U.S. strategy or American security.
This was the President of the United States openly admitting he changed sanctions because two foreign leaders asked him to.
And let’s be serious:
He’s talking about lifting sanctions that helped pave the way for Abu Mohammad al-Julani, the jihadist who now leads Syria in 2025, a man sanctioned by the U.S., implicated in terror, and backed by foreign interests playing their own games.
So what do we have?
– Saudi Arabia told him to do it.
– Turkey told him to do it.
– He did it.
Saudi Arabia already has enough influence over the President that a simple request can flip U.S. policy on a war-torn country with active jihadist leadership.
Now imagine what happens after they invest $1 trillion and own pieces of our tech, our infrastructure, and our energy grid.
If this is the leverage they have before the buy-in, the imbalance that follows will be immeasurable.
The U.S. has now demonstrated, publicly, that it will hand foreign powers:
– policy
– weapons
– sanctions relief
– and geopolitical victories
if it means inching closer to political goals or superficial “peace deals.”
That is a superpower signaling it will give away anything, even if it endangers Americans, for the sake of a momentary headline.
THE F-35 NIGHTMARE
THE CLAIM
“Saudi Arabia will get top-of-the-line F-35s.”
THE TRUTH
F-35s are the backbone of Israel’s qualitative military edge, the one thing keeping Israel alive against dozens of hostile states.
Giving the same jets to Saudi Arabia erases that edge.
Saudi Arabia is a monarchy that has spent the last decade expanding jihadist influence from Yemen to Syria to Sudan.
You can’t give the crown jewel of U.S. military technology to a foreign monarchy and pretend it has zero consequence.
Once Saudi Arabia acquires the F-35, they own the leverage every administration fears to challenge.
THE KHASHOGGI WHITEWASH
THE CLAIM
“He knew nothing about it… we can leave it at that.”
THE TRUTH
The CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence publicly concluded that MBS approved the operation to capture or kill Khashoggi. The assassins were part of the Crown Prince’s own security apparatus, flown in on government jets, reporting up the same chain of command every other Saudi operation uses.
When you normalize the political assassination, you announce to every foreign government:
If a foreign ruler has the right oil, the right military purchase, or the right political usefulness, then even a political assassination becomes something we’re supposed to shrug off.
THE PALESTINIAN SHOW
THE CLAIM
“The Palestinians are doing very well… everybody’s happy.”
THE TRUTH
No one “doing very well” gets loaded onto flights to South Africa for thousands of dollars just to escape.
No one “happy” lives under two competing dictatorships, Hamas in Gaza, the PA in the West Bank, while Iran uses their land as a missile lab, and every regional power treats them like a bargaining chip.
The Palestinians aren’t “happy.” They’re being moved, negotiated, pressured, and traded around by the same leaders who claim to fight for them.
When a president describes that situation as “very well,” he isn’t giving an update.
He’s selling a narrative, one that conveniently protects the egos of the men in the room, while the people they’re talking about carry the consequences.
THE IRAN DEAL SETUP
THE CLAIM
“Iran very badly wants a deal… we are talking to them.”
THE TRUTH
Iran is not looking for a deal!
While Trump’s team frames this as “Iran wanting to talk,” Tehran is doing the opposite of a country desperate for negotiations:
– Iran is developing the ability to launch 2,000 missiles at once, enough to overwhelm any defense system in the region.
– Iran has moved large portions of its nuclear program into hardened locations that U.S. weapons cannot reach.
– Iran has increased uranium purity and expanded stockpiles.
– Iran has prepared its regional militias for coordinated retaliation.
Nothing about that signals a country begging for a seat at the table. It signals a country positioning itself for advantage while Washington pretends it still holds the cards.
Trying to sell this as “a moment for America to make a power move” ignores the obvious: Tehran isn’t crawling toward diplomacy. It is setting terms and watching U.S. officials pretend that asking Iran to negotiate is the same thing as controlling the outcome.
THE FAMILY BUSINESS LIE
THE CLAIM
“I have nothing to do with the family business… They’ve done very little with Saudi Arabia.”
THE TRUTH
Trump still owns the Trump Organization through a revocable trust and can pull money from it whenever he wants. Ethics experts have said this is not a real separation, just a cosmetic one.
In 2015, he bragged on stage that Saudis “buy apartments from me” and “spend $40–50 million” with him.
After the 2016 election, Saudi-funded lobbyists paid for about 500 nights at his D.C. hotel, with at least $270,000 in Saudi-linked spending tied to lobbying on a law 9/11 families cared about.
House Oversight later found that Saudi officials themselves spent at least $164,929 at that same hotel while he was in office.
His son-in-law Jared Kushner’s firm received $2 billion from the Saudi sovereign wealth fund after leaving the White House, over the objections of the fund’s own advisers, and has already earned tens of millions in Saudi-paid fees.
You don’t get to brag, “they spend $40–50 million on me,” collect Saudi money at your hotel, watch your son-in-law get a $2 billion Saudi check, sign new deals in Saudi Arabia, and then look into a camera and say your family has “done very little with Saudi Arabia.”
OBAMA AND THE “TREATED SAUDI BADLY” FAIRYTALE
THE CLAIM
“Obama treated Saudi Arabia very, very badly. And Biden didn’t know where the hell he was.”
This is the kind of line that sounds good in a rally clip but falls apart the second you look at actual policy.
Obama: “Very Badly” While Selling Them $115 Billion in Weapons
Barack Obama publicly annoyed the Saudis with:
- The Iran nuclear deal
- A few speeches about human rights
- Mild criticism over Yemen and regional behavior
But behind the podium, his administration:
- Offered Saudi Arabia over $115 billion in weapons, equipment, and training, more than any previous U.S. administration.
- Backed the Saudi-led war in Yemen starting in 2015 with U.S. support, refueling, and targeting assistance.
That is not “treating them very badly.” That is arming them to the teeth while pretending to frown.
He did, at the very end, pause a single $400 million bomb sale over civilian casualties in Yemen, after years of green lights.
Now compare that to Trump’s record:
- Chose Saudi Arabia as his first foreign trip as president, signing and promoting a supposed $110 billion arms deal, which analysis later described as largely recycled and inflated.
- Vetoed bipartisan efforts in Congress to stop arms sales and U.S. support for the Yemen war.
- After Khashoggi’s murder, Trump bragged to Bob Woodward, “I saved his ass,” meaning MBS, by blocking Congress from holding him accountable.
In this Oval Office event, he goes even further:
He flat-out says the Crown Prince “knew nothing about it,” directly contradicting U.S. intelligence and his own private brag about saving him.
That’s the record.
So in comparison, both Obama and Trump have treated Saudi Arabia just as wonderful…
This was not a meeting.
It was an audition.
A monarchy walked into the Oval Office and was praised, defended, excused, sanitized, and rewarded.
It was not America-first, peace-first, principle-first.
It was Saudi-first, Abraham-Accords-nostalgia-first, foreign-ownership-as-victory-first.
The American people were fed lies, wrapped in flattery, and sold as historical progress.
And history will remember who sold it.
Wow! What a great article Anni!
Thank you for speaking the Truth… I love articles like this… straight to the point… easy to read… thanks…
…
We can also remember Obama bowing to the King of Saudi…
…
Also… the islamic loving Luciferian Globalists… side with the satanic Sunni world… against Shiite Iran. They just keep enough support to Iran to keep the Middle East stressed out. Always pinning Iran against Israel. That way the Sunni Saudi don’t ever have to lift a finger against the Shiite… who they hate.
Cheers! To a report done well…
Meanwhile the so called Nobel Peace Prize Committee prefers to award others with a prize they don’t deserve like Obama and Arafat
It’s very easy to tear down and negate everything President Trump is trying to accomplish. What are your strategies to counteract this supposed disaster? What are your prescriptions for the cure to this diseased relationship? Everything is always doom and gloom with you people. Give us some hope along with the despair.
Brilliant analysis, Aynaz.
We all know that it is said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions; and it might be added, ignorance, lies and deceptions.
Hope, Mr. Falvey? If one has hope in politics and diplomacy the battle has already been lost. Case in point: Kushner and Witkoff, et al..
Some people believe that D. J. Trump (who I did vote for) was installed by God himself. If so, one of the reasons for that is to surreptitiously lay the foundation for a technocratic, and yes, Luciferian NWO Great Reset Antichrist “time of Jacob’s trouble” [temporary] kingdom.
Next up – the prophetic fulfillment of Ezekiel 38 & 39, which will be the only solution to global jihad. Hold fast!
Is Ezekiel 38 and 39 meant to be taken literally?
John Patrick Falvey – I feel your distress. I believe with
all my heart that America was on the brink of tyranny
and did not topple into the abyss, thanks to the election
of Donald J. Trump. Our country is still very wobbly and
weakened and President Trump is striving mightily to
correct that. And doing an outstanding job.
Closing the border and rounding up criminal illegal aliens
is wonderful to behold. I cheer every time I see it. As is
his imposition of tariffs on imported goods to offset the
lopsided trade imbalance so harmful to the United States.
Trump has just removed the Temporary Protected Status
of Somalis in Minnesota subjecting them to deportation.
It is also hard to believe that although Iran seems to have
regrouped in its nuclear activities, Trump did not do some
serious damage to them when he bombed the hell out of
them this year. And if I were Iran, I might want to direct
attention to their compromised water supply first.
But I am appreciative of articles from Anni Cyrus like this
one. Me and mine have been lately confused about Trump’s
stance towards the Middle East – especially regarding the
smarmy, Qatar-beholden Steve Witkoff negotiating with Hamas
in Gaza – the slobbering over Syrian leader and vicious jihadist
Sharaa in the White House, even the same done to Muslim
Mayor-elect Mamdani – a truly revolting sight.
We remain 100% supportive of President Trump while, at this
point, trying to keep an open mind.
There is none to offer! Godless men making Godless deals are sure to end in lots of bloodshed and ultimately slavery for all.
No hope for any nation in Islam!
Armageddon is justahead!
The v
I’m not sure at this point if Trump is the spider luring the Saudi fly into his web or the other way around.
I’m reading a lot of comments on conservative blogs to the effect of such things or a variatio of it which is to keep your enemies close. I think it’s all hogwash. Trump appears enamored by the Islamic world at this point, perhaps seduced by the wealth and the stroking of his ego. Is he really that ignorant of the tenets of Islam and its 1400-year history of darkness? It’s inexplicable to watch this all unfold.
Outstanding article. Will spread it far and wide. And all of what was noted is on top of Trump hosting the Syrian jihadist-in-a-suit AND cozying up to Qatar. I have no idea what’s going on with Trump, but it ain’t good. Naivitee? Ego? Narcisissm? Obsession with money and wealth at all cost? Corruption? Mental instability?
His embrace of the Islamic world is deeply troubling and dangerous. And he’s probably not done yet. Brace yourselves for Turkey.
Forgot to add: And it was Trump who let Mamdani reitterate the lie while stanging next to him in the Oval Office that Israel is commiting genocide and said not a word of push back or correction AND also allowed the issue of Mamdani’s threat to arrest Netanyahu if he comes to NYC go w/o challenge. The optics during the presser were also horrible with Trump sitting at his desk with poor posture and looking old while Mamdani stood erect and handling questions with confidence. There’s a photo of them shaking hands while Trump remains seated and Trump is looking up at Mamdani. All in all, absolutely pathetic and Trump allowing Mamdani to control the presser as he did was unexcusable.
Trump has changed and not for the better. He often appears weak and impotent, making threats and with bluster but no follow through (as he’s done repeatedly with respect to Hamas).
Great analysis, Anni, indeed!
However, there’s another way of looking at what is happening to the U.S.. (and the UK, Europe and their colonies for that matter).
Biblically speaking, the so-called ‘Christian’ nations – the West – are the House of Joseph/Ephraim and Manasseh (Gen. 49:22-26; Deut. 33:13-17), i.e. the former Southern Kingdom of Israel, deported by Assyria from around 720BC and dispersed into the nations.. to never return to ‘the Land’.
Their end-time fate according to Isaiah 28:1-13 makes for a depressing read, but is followed by the hope given in Ezekiel 37:15-28 – their salvation and reunification with the House of Judah. There’s also mention of a ‘covenant of peace’ that surely will last, as opposed to the one Trump thinks he has ushered in.
Correction: … the former NORTHERN kingdom, not Southern!
There’s a great line in Godfather 2 where Michael Corleone says what his father imparted to him….”keep your friends close and your enemies closer.” It seems the wannabes on this thread know Trump better than he does himself. I wouldn’t presume. He worked with the scum of the earth when he was building the Manhattan skyline. And now he’s President. You ain’t.
A devastating analysis and indictment of the moral and political destitution and corruption of Trump 2.0. Like Cinton, Obama, and Biden, the Oval Office is for sale to the highest bidder. MAGA: MAKE ARABIA GREAT AGAIN. Thank you, Ms. Cyrus. You are a gem.
DISCUSSIONS AND PLANS FOR THE QATARI AIR FACILITY IN IDAHO BEGAN IN 2017 UNDER TRUMP ADMIN. Those were his boys, and keep in mind Trump is Commander-in-chief of the military.
In an article by IdahoStatesman titled “Qatar coming to Idaho for military aircraft trainings. Here’s what we know”, it sounds like JD is trying to obfuscate.
During Biden’s term, the facility got environmental clearance. TRUMP’S FOREIGN POLICY MIRRORS HIS FIRST TERM, but people keep repeating the same fallacy that he’s changed and so different. What happened was news was very suppressed by Trump talking heads in the media and by a lack of transparency by Trump.
Even though I, very much, respect President Trump on the subject of sealing all those F- 35s to Saudi Arabia is a mistake in his judgement.
The reason why this is so because the Islamic kingdom of Saudi Arabia in no friend of any Western nation, Saudi Arabia is best defined as a kingdom of Islamic hate.
As one Arab scholar who had lived in a Middle Eastern country, for many years revealed “Saudi madrassa notably teaches hatred and condemnation of the West and non-Muslims” and “The Saudi Government also provides free textbooks to Islamic schools throughout the world . many of the Saudi- Issued textbook’s contain wording that encourages hatred and intolerance for non-Muslims.” [1]
Saudi Arabia in many ways is no better than Iran.
[1] THEY MUST BE STOPPED by Brigitte Gabriel, page 106
The Islamic kingdom of Saudi Arabia has not and will not spare any of its vast oil wealth as to use its financial resources to fund and promote the advancement of Islam by and through the jihad. By this it means both the stealth jihad and even the subtle support violent jihad.
As explained, for example in the book HOW ISLAM PLANS TO CHANGE THE WORLD by William Wagner. For on pages 109, 110. The reader is informed that “The Wall Street journal on April 15, 2003, published an article titled ‘In law Seminars, A Saudi Group Spreads Extremism.’ The article began by saying ‘In late February more than 300 young men from across Europe gathered for a weekend seminar on Islamic Law put on by Al-Waqf al-Islaami Foundation.’ The article went on to explain that the most famous graduates from the seminar were half a dozen members of the group of young men from Hamburg, Germany, who plotted the September 11, attacks. The language of the was Dutch, but ‘the message was imported from Saudi Arabia, via Saudi books and lecturers who taught a strict orthodox interpretation of Islam.’ “
Further on the very same page of 110 the information is given that “TIME MAGAZINE, in an article on Saudi Arabia: Inside the Kingdom,’ stated ‘Apart from channeling money to foundations that have assisted terrorist groups, Saudis have for years supported institutions abroad the propagate Wahhabism.’”
So, with that Islamic regime of Saudi Arabia and its oil money support the different type of the jihad, both stealth and the violent kind, with its Islamic agenda advancement and spread, influence and infiltration of the Western nations, this kingdom of Saudi Arabia is no friend at all of America or any other country of the West.
In the book of the title of THE HISTORY OF JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS, by Robert Spencer on pages 333 through 337.Mr Spencer provides valid information of the subject of “The Saudi involvement in September 11.”2001
So, with that Islamic regime of Saudi Arabia and its oil money support the different type of the jihad, both stealth and the violent kind, with its Islamic agenda advancement and spread, influence and infiltration of the Western nations, this kingdom of Saudi Arabia is no friend at all of the United Kingdom or America or any other country of the West.
Ms.Cyrus you are such a gift to our nation and people and I am very thankful for your incisive articles. I once commented on another Front Page article that Trump might well be a Trojan horse. It would seem that he is as well as also being a forked-tongue manipulator discarding the sovereignty of America for financial gain.
That he is doing so, reveals the actions of a traitor selling us out and really providing our Islamist enemies with all they need to subvert America into an Islamic nation.
For you, Ms. Cyrus, coming to our country from Iran and all that you lived through there, this must be heartbreaking. And so it is for me as an American, Jewish woman.
We were at a point where we had to trust someone and the one we voted for turns out to be the silver-tongue deceiver ready to destroy our country in reciprocity for his many financial dealings and profits from Saudi Arabia,
He threw Israel under the bus, he’s throwing the USA under the bus.
As far as I am concerned, it is Trump who is a traitor to our country and a betrayer of our ally, Israel.
Trump may think he’s above the law but he seems to forget who the TRUE sovereign is: G-d Almighty–and there is nowhere he can run or hide where G-d can’t reach him.
What a betrayal and travesty to everyone who supported him, much of who are believers in G-d.
My gut told me something was off back in 2023 and I have continued to listen to that gnawing discomfort however uncomfortable and it is this article alone that blows any remaining cover Trump may have thought he had to smithereens!
Time for a MAGA revolution!!!
Trump is a businessman and NOT a politician, hence the ART OF THE DEAL. He treats everybody like this. Friend or foe but mostly foe.
Epstein Island wasn’t a pleasure hotel. It was a temple modeled after ancient paganism. Below the temple were passages and rooms where top world leaders in various fields participated in sex magic and sacrifices.
Their main purpose was to obtain power in a trade for their submission to the dark extra- dimensional beings.
Nothing other than satanism can explain what is happening in the world.
This amazing article reveals…… lying! What is the most certain thing that will happen tomorrow and every other day? Is it not that there will be lies? Who is the father of lies that rules this world? Why do people think otherwise?
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I had never heard about this Temple… had to look it up.
It is shaped like the Black Cube (Kabaa) in Mecca… with an Onion Dome… just like Mosques…
It looks exactly like a Mosque…
Very interesting… not a lot of info on it… just a small bit of suggestions of what it was used for…
Thanks for the Info…
Wow, was your article a neutron bomb of truth. YOU’re to be commended for having the courage to write it.
Trump seems a bigger fraud than those he professed to replace
