Trump's Betrayal: Selling American Might for Personal Gain

In a brazen display of self-interest, Donald Trump has effectively auctioned off the United States military to the highest bidders. For the price of a luxury jet, lucrative crypto deals, and billions funneled into family coffers, American soldiers are now entangled in a war bankrolled by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Just days before the strikes, Trump's own Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, admitted that Iran wasn't enriching uranium.Trump himself had bragged in June 2025 that he had already "obliterated" Iran's nuclear program through Operation Midnight Hammer.And in Thursday's talks in Geneva, Switzerland, Iran had agreed to suspend enrichment and never stockpile enriched uranium.Yet, by Saturday morning, bombs were raining down on Tehran as children headed to school, killing over 100 girls near a military base.
Every justification peddled by this administration crumbles under scrutiny. So, let's cut to the chase: Who's cashing in on this catastrophe?
Qatar handed Trump a $400 million Boeing 747—a veritable flying palace—that he'll keep personally after his term, routed through his presidential library foundation.The UAE funneled $2 billion through crypto transactions into the Trump family's World Liberty Financial, including a $500 million stake purchase and a massive stablecoin investment.And the Saudis? They deposited $2 billion into Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners fund mere months after he left government.
Who was steering America's Iran negotiations right before the bombs fell? None other than Kushner himself—pockets lined by Iran's archrival Saudi Arabia—alongside Steve Witkoff, Trump's real estate buddy whose son has been courting Qatar's sovereign wealth fund for family ventures.
Then there's Israel. Netanyahu didn't hesitate to pile on, urging Iranians to "cast off the yoke of tyranny" in his post-strike address.Toppling Iran has been his obsession for decades, and with Israeli elections looming in October, this joint campaign is political manna, bolstering his image as a wartime hero—all on America's tab.
Netanyahu gets to strut as a strongman while Trump plays tough from Mar-a-Lago in a baseball cap. It's a devilish duo.
The mission? Explicitly to overthrow Iran's government and dismantle its military—the dream outcome for Gulf monarchies and Israel, who couldn't pull it off solo. So, they bought a president who would.
Those same Gulf states feigned diplomatic concern publicly while their wire transfers cleared long ago.
Trump once accused Obama of plotting a war with Iran to win reelection. Obama never did. Now, Trump—floundering ahead of the 2026 midterms—has done precisely that.
As former Vice President Kamala Harris aptly put it: "Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm's way for the sake of Trump's war of choice.
This isn't leadership; it's a fire sale of American power. Our soldiers deserve better than to die for Trump's deals.(TAMBULI NG BAYAN-Ronnie Estrada) #epicoffury #Trump #BenjaminNetanyahu #MarcoRubio #PeteHegseth #iran #SteveWitkoff #Kushner #Obama #KamalaHarris #Israel #saudiarabia #uae #qatar #OFW #PCO #crypto
