Saudi Prince Explains To Tucker Carlson Why ‘Pro-America’ Means ‘Pro-Trump,’ Says US Needed Trump As ‘Logical Leader’

Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal told 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson on Wednesday that being “pro-America” means being “pro-Trump,” adding it was time for the United States to elect a “logical leader” like President Donald Trump.

Prior to Trump’s win in November, Democrats pushed the narrative that the president was not only a “fascist” but also a threat to democracy. On “The Tucker Carlson Show,” Carlson asked Talal if he had been “anti-Trump” before the president’s win. Talal immediately said no, adding that Saudi Arabia couldn’t be against Trump because they want America to succeed.

“We can’t be anti-Trump, you know, because we are pro-America. We have to be pro-Trump, especially with the new policies that he’s taking right now. You know, I’m very much conservative, socially speaking,” Talal said. “All his policies right now in being anti-woke, being anti-left-wing, being anti-all those crazy things that’s happening on the left. We are for sure pro-Trump on these matters.”

“Also all his policies, economic policies that are looking after the eradication of the U.S. deficit. These are all conservative policies that we support. Look, I live in America — graduated from the West Coast, you know, from the University in California, and I finished my master’s in the East Coast in America,” Talal added. “So we all love America. We want America to be strong.”

Following Trump’s win, the president vowed to bring peace to the Middle East as Israel and Hamas have been at war for over a year. During a discussion with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, the president reportedly discussed ways to end the war, aligning his goal of peace agreements on five fronts: with Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, broader Arab and Muslim states, and the Palestinians,
