How did Saudi Arabia welcome President Trump?
The Saudi prince greeted him at the airport, and he got a horse escort into the Saudi palace.
What? A horse escort? I got to say, when you hear that Trump got a horse escort, This is the best version of that story. But, but, I gotta tell you, Saudi Arabia, oh man, they went all out. It wasn't just the horse escort. They greeted Trump with a full brass band that was... really trying their best, you know? And then it was time for Trump to walk down the famous purple carpet. Ah. And so he walked. And he walked. Kept walking. You know, it feels like you could have stayed in the car for some of the... Oh, now we take an escalator. Great, we're done with... No, we're still walking. Yep, that's fine. It's a cool 108 degrees. This guy can handle it, you know? You know Trump's looking at the carpet going, you know, these things fly here, right?
Don't they show me a whole new world or some shit like that? But look, a horse guard and purple carpets, that might impress the average world leader. But Donald Trump is no average world leader. And Saudi Arabia knows how to cater to a man with such refined tastes.
Saudi Arabia had a McDonald's mobile truck come on site so that President Trump could have his favorite McDonald's.
Perfect. Perfect. Oh, I gotta tell you, it is nice to see they got another use out of the horses once they were done with that ice cold. It's good to know. It's good. It's good. It's good. You gotta hand it to the Saudis, though. They know the fastest way to Trump's heart is through his stomach, out the colon, with a little bit staying behind in his arteries. You know, but not everything in the royal kingdom was to Trump's liking. Now, after they arrived, the Saudis served some coffee, but while everyone else drank theirs, Donald Trump just held his in his hand the whole time. Look at that. Look at that, right? It looks like he was waiting to give a urine sample to the nurse. Yeah, I got to tell you, I get this. Honestly, I get it.
Unfamiliar coffee on a trip is risky. One sip is all it takes to go from traveler's constipation to traveler's, you guys go without me, I'm going to hang out in the room for a while. Smart move. It's a smart move, Mr. President. You don't want to throw a wrench into that perfect gut biome you've created. Now, that being said, that being said, Trump may be regretted not taking that caffeine shot a few minutes later.
Mohammed bin Salman is saying, we need a resolution on a Palestinian state. And I don't necessarily recall several years ago, pre-October 7th, as that being a demand that he had necessarily stated publicly. Do you think his position has changed? Or do you think the way he has expressed himself, has that changed?
Mr. President, come on. You can't fall asleep there. This isn't an intelligence briefing. Come on, man. Look, look, it's not actually a big deal for the president to have jet lag. I'm not so much of an asshole that I make fun of someone for nodding off a bit on a trip. But you know who is that much of an asshole?
