Afrasianet - Since coming to power, Trump has seemed like a person tasked with monitoring the incomes, revenues and wealth of countries, who wants his share of what they have and believes that people have no right to enjoy their wealth.
There has never been a president in the history of the United States who shows all forms of greed, envy and jealousy without reservation, like President Donald Trump, who does not stop talking about the wealth of this or that country, and how that country has a lot of money, and the other has to pay from what it judges. Trump is almost a tax controller or a performance officer. All his movements, vocabulary, and looks reveal his extraordinary rush to remind the wealthy Arab countries that they should She pays him what Allah has provided for her, as if he prevented the heavens from falling on her.
Trump does not stop reminding the world that there are rich Arab countries in the Middle East, so whenever he talks about money and economy, or politics, or religion and culture, or battles and wars, or science and technology, or any other topic, he goes beyond the main topic by referring to those rich countries until he almost feels that he envies them for their prosperity, or that they are overwhelmed by the capabilities that God has bestowed upon them.
When Trump talks about money, he speaks as a businessman who often boasts that he specializes in making deals. He draws on the cultural specificities he was raised on or perhaps acquired from his life running after billions. In January 2016, during a private meeting with veterans in Des Moines, Iowa, he acknowledged the state of greed that has accompanied him since childhood: "All my life I have been greedy, greedy for money — but now I want to be greedy for the United States," adding, "I will raise all that money, all that money — for the United States."
On February 4, 2025, Trump put forward a proposal to relocate Gazans to Egypt and Jordan under the guise of "humanitarian motives", turning the Gaza Strip into the "Middle East Riviera" under the supervision of Tony Blair.
Since he came to power, Trump has looked like a person tasked with monitoring the incomes, financial revenues, and wealth of countries that God has given them, and when he talks about these countries, it seems as if greed is already salivating from his mouth, and he wants to send a clear message that he wants to get his share of what he owns. He believes that countries and peoples have no right to enjoy their wealth unless they pay him jizya, claiming that he is responsible for protecting them and deserves a reward for it.
In late May, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa sparked controversy when he addressed the US president from inside the White House, saying, "I'm sorry, I don't have a plane to give you." Trump replied: "If South Africa offered a plane, I would have accepted it."
Ramaphosa was referring to Trump's welcome to the gift he received from the Qatari leadership, in the form of a Boeing 747-8 worth $400 million. Trump considered that the State of Qatar's presentation of an aircraft to the United States is a great gesture that cannot be refused, and made it clear that he does not intend to use this plane after leaving office, noting that accepting it is a practical solution for the United States in light of the delay of Boeing in delivering a new presidential plane, according to him.
White House spokeswoman Carolyn Levitt said the controversial Qatari luxury jet is an "air force project" and that Trump has "nothing to do with it," adding, "Let's be absolutely clear, the government of Qatar, and the Qatari family, has offered to donate this aircraft to the U.S. Air Force, and that donation will be accepted in accordance with all legal and ethical obligations. It will be updated to the highest standards by the Department of Defense and the U.S. Air Force — this aircraft is not a personal donation or a gift to the President of the United States, and whoever wrote this should correct their news, because this is a donation to our country and to the U.S. Air Force."
The truth is that no one thought for a moment that the United States, the most powerful country on earth and that considers itself the world's policeman, could open the door to accepting donations to its air force, which has the latest weapons and an exceptional air force capable of striking whenever and wherever it wants unchecked. Trump did it and made his country reach out for aid.
Trump did not stop at his ambitions on the ground, but took them to the sky. Last August, he considered that if he can achieve peace in Ukraine, this achievement could help him enter heaven.
At times, Trump seems to be seeking to blackmail rich countries in a vulgar manner, whether for the benefit of his personal projects, the projects of his team and those close to him, or for the benefit of his country, but in any case, he encounters leaders, leaders, and officials with a high level of morality, respect, calmness, and open-mindedness. They were raised in the best interests of their countries and the prosperity of their societies, and they were raised on cultural, social, and human values that make them meet the signals of Trumpian greed with silence, smiling, or indifference.
On February 4, 2025, in a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, Trump put forward a proposal to relocate the residents of the Gaza Strip to Egypt and Jordan, under the guise of what he described as "humanitarian motives." He said that his plan was to "save the Palestinians from the hell of Gaza" and move them to a more prosperous and stable life, in light of the widespread destruction caused by Israeli attacks. His vision included transforming the Gaza Strip into a "global tourist destination" that he dubbed the "Middle Eastern Riviera." He denied being aware of the matter. But he pushed his friend Tony Blair to oversee the administration of Gaza, especially the reconstruction and development process, and to bring in large sums of money to invest in the Strip by using pressure and blackmail on countries with financial surpluses.
It didn't stop there, but it got Trump to publicly demand that he be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and he failed to fulfill his hope, at least this year, perhaps because many still didn't believe that he was defending peace, which justified the killing of thousands of civilians in Gaza, and he considers Benjamin Netanyahu his close friend, and he backed away from his plan to stop the war in Ukraine, and made no effort to shed blood in Sudan. He is just moving in the direction of his own interest, the interest of his team and his country.
Trump did not stop at his ambitions on the ground, but took them to heaven. Last August, he argued that if he could achieve peace in Ukraine, this achievement could help him enter heaven, adding that "his chances of achieving it are currently slim." Last Sunday, he told reporters while talking about stopping the war on Gaza: "I don't think anything will get me into heaven, I don't think I will go to heaven." He wants this world and the hereafter, the earth and the sky, money and power, Netanyahu's friendship and." Nobel Peace Prize". He sees no objection to others claiming a part of their wealth. It is the greedy Trump, who seems insatiable.
