Subject: Re: Qatar air force base on American soil
Right now, all these countries are rule by autocrats and monarchs who are both willing to make deals with the U.S. (as a country) and him (as a private individual through his proxies), in a way that democratically-elected governments in those countries never ever would. Why would he want to change that for some hazy intangible ideal like "self-determination,"

...and to maximize the transactional opportunities Trump thirsts for (fame AND fortune AND recognition)he needs the US to cede self-determination to one party rule as Putin has effectively done.

Any opposition to his plan will be labeled as evil; some kind of enemy of 'god'&state. "we have radical left lunatics out there, and we just have to beat the hell out of them."
