The Washington Examiner’s Joe Concha said despite debate over a gifted plane, President Donald Trump knocked his trip to the Middle East out of the park.
Trump is returning to Washington D.C. after meeting with foreign leaders in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, during which the president announced over $200 billion in commercial deals between the United States and the UAE, along with a commitment by Saudi Arabia to invest $600 billion in the U.S. In reflecting on Trump’s trip, Concha suggested it was “absolutely” the most successful it could have possibly been.
“And again, just look at the numbers as far as the trillions in investment that Donald Trump has tapped into by stabilizing relations in the Middle East,” Concha, a senior writer for the Washington Examiner, stated on Fox News’s Fox & Friends First. “He is getting more done now, he’s only in office barely four months, than Joe Biden, obviously, was able to in four years. So overall, yes, this has been a very successful trip.”
Outside of Trump’s Middle East trip, Concha also commended Trump for other recent achievements, including the release of Edan Alexander from the Hamas terrorist group and the various tariff deals the U.S. is making with countries like China. He went as far as to state that the last two weeks have been Trump’s most successful throughout his entire time in the White House, which is also being reflected in the polls.
Due to the growing victories under Trump’s belt, Concha questioned how the Democratic Party could respond, stating that it was opposed to Trump’s leadership but the president’s actions now seem to be coming “Trump’s way” and “the country’s way.” As of right now, the party appears to lack any “solutions.”
During Trump’s trip overseas, the president floated the idea of the U.S. assuming ownership of the Gaza Strip in order to “make it a freedom zone.” He cited how those living in Gaza are doing so among the “rubble” of collapsed buildings from the conflict between Israel and Hamas, calling these living standards “not acceptable.”
