President Donald Trump is planning to receive Saudi Arabias powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House this week with all the trappings of a state visit, sources familiar with the matter said, including a welcome ceremony in the morning and a formal dinner in the evening.
Were more than meeting, Trump said late Friday as he flew to Florida for the weekend. Were honoring Saudi Arabia, the Crown Prince.
While the White House has decided to pull out all the stops, the visit cannot be classified as an official state visit as Prince bin Salman is not Saudi Arabias head of state. That position is occupied by his 89-year-old father, King Salman. But the crown prince has assumed almost all day-to-day responsibility for ruling the kingdom, and attends summits and other diplomatic engagements as the countrys leader.
The meetings Tuesday will mark Prince bin Salmans first visit to the White House in more than seven years. Trump has worked to cultivate a close relationship with the kingdoms de facto ruler in the hopes he will decide to establish diplomatic ties with Israel, which would be a major advancement of the presidents signature Abraham Accords a longtime goal of the presidents.

(1,039 posts)recall that his son took down intelligence reports on the members of the Prince's family that were not loyal to the prince, and they all soon disappeared?
Jared was in deep trouble with a 150 million dollar balloon? payment due on one of his crappy building investments, and he made a special trip down to the Prince with a brief case, then turned around and came straight back home with a "Loan" for the 150 Million.........

(1,039 posts)payment for U.S. etc intel on the family, was just a precursor to what was to follow......Every countries Intel on military capabilities of all the prince's neighboring countries which he gladly paid Jared TWO BILLION DOLLARS to obtain for him....
Of course, Putin received all the information we had, including all intel from every other country, about every country's Military capabilities etc.
And I am sure Trump gave it to him for free.......
At this point, I am confident that NO other country will ever again share their Intel with the U.S. Especially NATO countries.....

Foreign governments cannot sit around and wait to make decisions based on Wisconsin voters.
There is no stability or predictability any longer.
America has lost its moral core.

(1,039 posts)I project........ that he will start closing down and bringing home the U.S. military bases in NATO countries which will make Putin overjoyed, and also fortify his quantity of U.S. Military soldiers in case they are needed for when he declares Martial Law........

(1,039 posts)dividing it up after Desert Storm with 6 different U.S. Oil Companies?
Not if, but when he starts closing down NATO countries U.S. Military bases and installations it will forever win the praise of Putin, and bringing back the entire military personnel to the U.S. will fortify the U.S. Military presence here in the U.S. to use as his enforcement needs, like martial law.......
He will basically open the door to leaving the countries wide open to invasion by Putin with no resistance......

(77,993 posts)Trump pulls out of NATO.
Pulls out all US troops.
Putin has a clear shot at Europe.
However there has been a wrinkle in the plan.
The Russian economy is collapsing.
The war, sanctions, corruption, Ukraine destroying oil fields, etc has taken a huge toll on Russia.
I doubt Putin can swing controlling Europe right now.
If he is smart, he is figuring out how to save his own skin.

(1,039 posts)When you corner a Psychopath that is also Narcissistic and they think it is the end of their situation, I worry that they would what they would do on the way out.......LIKE, "AN I'LL SHOW YOU"......and having complete control of nuclear weapons at their fingertips.........
Not just Putin, but the dictator/tyrant leaders of any other country with nuclear weapons.....Including, but not limited to, Israel, China, NKorea, AND.....the USAin particular.....
And with all these military tyrant run countries, all they need do is launch just one nuclear missile......
If ONE goes,....... they all go,......from all over the world.....

(77,993 posts)Yes both Putin and Trump are both serious narcissistic psychopaths and quite dangerous.
However I believe there are significant differences in their behavioral pattern and mental status
which impacts a possible end game.
Putin will destroy Ukraine if possible. It has become personal and he has so many sunk costs in the war.
However when Putin is backed into a corner he will go full survival mode.
He will do whatever it takes to stay alive and make a clean getaway.
I believe Putin has escape plans that are somewhat complex and are another topic.
The only reason Putin would not blow up the world as this loads against escape.
His plans involve intact resources and escape locations, and an underground network of protection.
Blowing up the world loads against these plans.
Putin is very shrewd, focused, disciplined. It is 100% certain he has escape plans in place
and will not deviate from his plans and get emotional and stupid.
Trump is an entirely different kettle of fish.
He is a subpar intellect, has dementia, assumes he will be fine no matter what happens.
Hubris is his middle name. He has no escape plans. And no way to implement them effectively.
He is impulsive, foolish, and ruled by revenge fantasies. He is capable of blowing up everything.
I will say here however that Trump is a coward and opportunist. If the end is near he would
be willing to negotiate a favorable outcome for himself. And go peacefully if he can keep his fortune
intact, and no jail time for himself and spawn.

(163,406 posts)The "East Room", which is actually within the original WH structure and wasn't part of the destroyed "East Wing".
Trump says White Houses East Room will be part of the future entrance of his ballroom
When they destroyed the East Wing, they also took out that roofed the Colonnade that went to it (along with the theater that shared the space). The East Room is on an upper level.

I expect there is asbestos and other heavy metals still floating around over on that side though.

(163,406 posts)(am guessing since the East Room is apparently on a higher level and 45 wants it to be an entrance to the Waste. Fraud. Abuse. "ballroom", I wouldn't be surprised if they put in a "golden escalator" to ride down to get there
