When President Trump declared from the stage of an opulent ballroom in Saudi Arabia that the United States was done nation-building and intervening, that the world’s superpower would no longer be “giving you lectures on how to live,” his audience erupted in applause.
Supporters at home also applauded as Trump effectively denounced decades of neoconservative American policy in the Middle East.
“In the end, the so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built,” Mr. Trump said on Tuesday, during a sweeping address at an investment conference in the Saudi capital of Riyadh. “And the interventionalists were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand.”
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how even frequent Trump critic Arnaud Bertrand applauded Trump’s turn away from imperialist interventionism.
Plus segments on the shocking revelations coming out of the Diddy trial, Trump lavishing praise on the ex-Jihadi now leading Syria, and Trump’s peace efforts regarding Iran as well as the India-Pakistan conflict.
