Trump's trip to the Middle East is not like another foreign trip to a previous president. It is historic because Trump does not make the trip to fight for peace in a long -standing region. Trump is not trying to court stability. Trump will not visit Israel while Netanyahu continues his campaign to exterminate the Palestinian people.
The media were ready to sell the story of the White House that Trump tries to conclude agreements, but Senator Chris Murphy said The real story The morning of MSNBC Joe.

Senator Murphy said when he was asked about Trump's trip:
This is President Trump's corruption tour of the Middle East. He goes to the Gulf to collect a tribute. What is happening here is an extraordinary level of corruption. We must not pretend that it is as usual. What the president does is to give countries like Saudi Arabia and water, what they want for Saudi Arabia.
It is a civilian nuclear agreement with the United States for the United Arab Emirates. It removes some of the restrictions on how semiconductors take place in this country. And in exchange, Trump does not ask for any advantage for the American people. He does not ask for any movement towards peace in the region.
He asks for money. He requires cash payments. The water give him this thanks to this agreement on the cryptocurrency in which they are. Pay a big problem by Trump Crypto. And of course, we have just discovered this weekend that Qatar will give Donald Trump a plane, apparently, personally.
It is therefore the story of this trip to Iran. I mean, listen, I obviously want a diplomatic agreement with Iran. But what a tragedy it would be if the result of these negotiations is to move Iran from which it is today, a few weeks from a nuclear weapon, if it wanted one to a year, what the declared objective is, it was the agreement that President Obama had negotiated, that Donald Trump distant.
We would not have to be at the negotiating table today by speaking to extend the deadline for a new Iranian. Nuclear Arme Out at a year if Donald Trump had not launched this agreement in the trash. It is therefore just a sign of both the corruption and the incompetence of the foreign policy of this administration.
Corruption and incompetence are a powerful combination in a presidential administration. History tells us that the “transactions” that Trump announces during his trip do not really exist and do not contract preliminary commitments.
Trump visits countries that have given him money or promise him personal gifts. The Saudis, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates bought Trump, and what they get in return are presidential visits and favorable policies.
The trip is the sale of American policy and the presidency.
It is not as usual and should be considered a corrupt president dirtying the presidency.
