Trump and bin Salman Unexpected Camaraderie
October 15, 2023
The friendship between former President Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has taken an unforeseen turn. In an unexpected development, they have announced plans to open a series of luxury golf resorts throughout the Middle East.
“We are going to make the desert green. It will be the best, the most beautiful golf courses you have ever seen,” Trump announced at a press conference earlier today. His enthusiasm unabated, the former president seemed to be in his element.
Conversely, bin Salman nonchalantly confirmed the plans, stating, “The golf courses will indeed be the grandest, like our friendship. But let’s not forget, it’s just sand. We have plenty.”
The move has drawn criticism from environmental groups, who have expressed concerns about the potential impact on the region’s delicate ecosystem. “Turning deserts into golf courses is not ‘making the desert green.’ It’s a disaster waiting to happen,” warned Dr. Jane Goodall, renowned primatologist and environmental advocate.
Despite such objections, Trump and bin Salman appear undeterred. The former president even suggested that the golf courses could serve as neutral ground for diplomatic talks. “Who knows, maybe we’ll solve the Middle East peace problem on the 9th hole,” he mused.
As the world watches with bated breath, skeptics and supporters alike wonder if this venture will be a hole-in-one or end up in the sand trap of failed international collaborations. Only time will tell.
