Here's a bright idea. Donald Trump thinks he might call up the leaders of various Arabic Gulf states and get THEM to pay for his war against Iran, the one that he started and now can't get himself out of. Neat, eh? The layers of irony are positively dripping off it. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt says it is something the President is seriously considering.
The US war against Iran has already cost an unknown number of tens of billions of dollars, and there is no off-ramp in sight. The other Gulf states, against whom Iran is taking out its frustrations in the only way it can, have no love for Iran. But neither did they ask for a war with it; that was all Trump's idea (maybe with Israeli input).
So, Trump asking them for money is asking for them to pay for being bombed and for losing out on billions in oil revenue. Do you see the irony now? Trump apparently doesn't.
