TRUMP, 2017: Qatar "a funder of terrorism at a very high level." TRUMP, 2025: "They gave me a JET!"

[Miles Archer]

An executive order signed by Donald Trump stating that any armed attack against Qatar would be considered "a threat to the peace and security of the United States" received fierce pushback from the editors of the conservative National Review.

The EO, dated Sept. 29, explicitly states: “In the event of such an attack, the United States shall take all lawful and appropriate measures — including diplomatic, economic, and, if necessary, military — to defend the interests of the United States and of the State of Qatar and to restore peace and stability.”

As explained in the scathing National Review editorial published on Friday, that mirrors the NATO Article 5 guarantee which states that an attack on one member of NATO is an attack on all members, which the editors called, in this case, “ridiculous."

As they noted, despite allowing a U.S. military presence in the Persian Gulf country, Qatar was called by Trump in 2017 “a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

2. And evidently they solved Musk's Cybertruck problem

At the end of Q2, Tesla was swimming in unsold trucks. He had claimed an order book of up to 2 million units, but could only sell 20,000 of them, with far more than that roasting in grassy fields, unused airport tarmac, and shopping center parking lots.

Now we find that in Q3, they sold about 50,000 vehicles from inventory. There is talk that many of these were Cybertrucks shipped to the Middle East. These governments have the means to buy any number of these things. Don't be surprised to find that all 15,000 of the princes of the Saudi royal family are now tooling around in Cybertrucks. Likewise for Qatar.
