Do you know anything about the author of the article?

[beaver fever]

No I don't but that is quite irrelevant.

Whoever MICHAEL FREUND is he represents the JP and the article is calculated to embarrass the President and manipulate public opinion against the legitimate US strategic relationship with Dubai.

Does the JP dictate US policy or does the POUS?

When you go on a date and pay for dinner you don't expect a goodnight kiss but a thank you is the least you can expect.

The US has armed Israel to the hilt on the US credit card. I think the occasional thankyou is in order.

And BTW don't insult your most important ally by embarrassing the US President when he's going through a
rough patch during an election year.

That's not just bad form it is rank ingratitude for 30 years of support backed by hard cash.
