SNIP.............


Donald Trump on Friday escalated the growing rift with Qatar, calling out the country as a sponsor of terrorism after seven Middle Eastern countries severed ties with Doha.

That statement came mere hours after Secretary of State Rex Tillerson urged “there be no further escalation by parties in the region.”

News that Trump appeared to contradict his own secretary of state stunned the Internet on Friday with users expressing disbelief over the president’s words.

Would you allow someone to sleep in your house, shower and eat only to have them spit in your face, kick you in your privates and then cozy up to the neighbors that you have big issues with.

ventures owe their collective butts to the Saudi Kingdom. They bailed him out in 1991 with his failed Airlines and Helicopter services as well as his Casino.

I mean, how could someone with a centre to combat terrorism that Trump turned on himself with a glowing orb not be on the right side of any argument about terrorism? It stands to reason. That was a high tech centre. One with An Orb. So the Orb can tell them who is funding terrorism. It had a globe painted on it. So it can detect global terrorism. The Saudis have the best orbs. Believe me.
