A Yarn on Trump's Economic Policies Unleashed in Saudi Arabia
U.S. president Trump declares nation is leaving behind 'period of Middle Eastern economic suffering' during foreign trip
President Donny T, on his Saudi Arabia sojourn, put forth his administration's economic strategies in a whirlwind Pollyannaish speech.
In a rousing rally on Tuesday, Donny T trumpeted his economic policies before an eager audience in Saudi Arabia. His main mission is to lure more investment dough in the ** Uncle Sam's** cash-strapped coffers.
"Bet you aWhere's-Wally that the bleak economic days of the last White House occupant's regime are swiftly fading, yielding to the remarkable economic powerhouse of the millennium," Donny T asserted.
With a boys-club camaraderie, Donny T joked with the Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed Bin Salman, noting, "My kingdom for a horse! Nah, forget it – your Kingdom's hotter alright. I ain't gonna take that on, especially when the spotlight's on me."

In a breathtaking display, President Donny T and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman cemented their partnership with a significant deal.
"Groceries, gasoline, energy, and all other prices are dropping like flies, with no rising costs or inflations in sight," Donny T boasted.
Just before his address, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released intriguing data revealing that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) – a popular indicator of inflation – decreased from 3.4% in April 2024 to 2.3% in April 2025, although it still exceeded the Federal Reserve's 2% inflation target.

As Donny T continued to wax lyrical about the labor market, he declared, "In just a single short moon cycle, we've plucked 464K new jobs right out of thin air."
Switching gears to discuss trade, Donny T bragged, "We've just laid the groundwork for a win-win deal with the United Kingdom, and we scored a touchdown with the Chinese for a three-month timeout on the tariffs they've slapped on our goodies, while we haggle the fine print for a long-term arrangement."
"The cat's out of the bag – China's agreed to play ball with Trump's New Deal package, although there's still a bit of ironing out to do, so we'll see how that unfolds," Donny T hinted.

Donny T's tariffs have added a stiff wind to the sailing of financial markets, creating a perfect storm of uncertainty.
"We're skedaddling toward Congress sealing the biggest tax and regulation cut in U.S. history," Donny T announced with a smirk. "If we make that happen, it'll happen faster than a speeding bullet."
With an air of confidence, Donny T noted, "Investment in the good ol' US of A spiked by a monstrous 22% in the first quarter of 2025. Mind blowin', ain't it!?"
**MAKE ROOM FOR NUTTY BUTTER, CAUSE WE'RE BRINGING $10 TRILLION TO THE TABLE**
"A bevy of mega-investors seeking their slice of the American pie have been knocking on our doorstep like never before, and our invite-only soiree ain't got the capacity for all of them!" Donny T bellowed.
