Fueled by greed

What did we expect but ensuing war and chaos in the Middle East when U.S. negotiations with Iran were handled by two billionaire Jewish real estate developers?

Steve Witkoff’s financially troubled development business was bailed out by the Qatari government and the Saudi royal family bailed out Jared Kushner’s faltering family business. President Trump has assigned these same two unqualified, self-enriching negotiators — his former attorney, business partner and golf buddy Witkoff and son-in-law Kushner — to bring an end to Russia’s war with Ukraine. And how’s that going?

Witkoff has described Putin as a “great guy.” When he met with Putin in Moscow in April of 2025 without an interpreter, Witkoff misunderstood the message he received from Putin, prompting the embarrassing, fruitless meeting in Alaska with our kowtowing president.

With the Witkoff, Kushner and Trump families getting rich from their business alliances in the Middle East and Qatar gift of a luxury jet, is it any wonder President Trump is willing to sacrifice the lives of U.S. troops to fight a war in the Middle East for his buddies and to distract from the Epstein files?

We must all speak out and demand Congress put a stop to our corrupt, unraveling president’s war in the Middle East.
