President Trump’s decision to roll out the red carpet for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman this week was a masterclass in realpolitik and American-first diplomacy. The visit in Washington featured high-level meetings, a flurry of economic pledges and the kind of strategic alignment our country desperately needs in the Middle East.
Reports from the White House day show Saudi officials pledging massive new investment in U.S. projects and the Trump administration moving forward on long-sought security cooperation, including advanced fighter-jet discussions and formal partnership agreements. Those deals translate directly into American jobs, factories, and leverage against bad actors like Iran that threaten our interests.
On Fox’s Jesse Watters Primetime, Sen. Ted Cruz rightly used his platform to defend the president’s bold approach and to remind viewers that strength and results beat sanctimony every time. Cruz made the conservative case plainly: after years of hollow moralizing from the left, voters want security, prosperity, and leaders who secure both. The Democrats’ predictable outrage isn’t about principles; it’s about losing the narrative and losing power.
Let’s be clear — engaging with Riyadh is not kowtowing, it’s bargaining from a position of renewed American strength. The administration negotiated concrete commitments, not press releases, and that’s how you protect American workers and deter adversaries at the same time. Any politician who pretends investment and security cooperation are mutually exclusive doesn’t understand geopolitics or how to deliver for Main Street.
Of course the left and their allies in the legacy press howled about human-rights issues and old scandals — including the tragic Khashoggi murder that Democrats cited as if they alone possess the moral high ground. Conservatives should never reflexively ignore abuses, but Washington’s sanctimony rings hollow when it comes from people who cheered never-ending wars and empty talk while American manufacturing shuttered.
This is why Democrats are mad: Trump and his allies are delivering results that matter to hardworking Americans — investment, security, and better leverage in the Middle East — while the left offers lectures and double standards. Senators like Ted Cruz pushing back on the criticism are doing their patriotic duty by defending an administration that puts American interests first. The American people see through the outrage and will reward leaders who choose action over performative melodrama.
If you’re tired of politicians who grandstand instead of govern, watch what’s happening in Washington this week and take note: conservative resolve and clear-eyed diplomacy produce wins for our country. The real story isn’t the tantrum from the Democrats; it’s the return of an America that bargains, builds, and stands tall on the world stage.
