Fox News host Mark Levin expressed strong disapproval of President Trump’s diplomatic tour of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, a notable shift given Levin’s history of staunch support for Trump. The President addressed the Saudi Royal family and global business leaders at an economic investment conference in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, before traveling to Doha, Qatar, for further meetings aimed at securing Middle Eastern investment in the U.S. economy, despite concerns over human rights abuses by potential investors.
In a sharp critique on social media, Levin avoided naming Trump directly but condemned the nations involved, stating that Saudi Arabia played a “significant role on the 9/11 slaughter of our people.” He also accused Qatar of having “protected the leader of the 9/11 attack from the FBI, before he was able to launch his war on America that killed our people.” Levin’s comments highlight growing tensions over the administration’s engagement with controversial Middle Eastern partners.
Levin posted on X:
Saudi Arabia played a significant role on the 9/11 slaughter of our people. I didn’t hear their Crown Prince even apologize once yesterday for what they did to us. And I know the 9/11 families are reeling from this.
And Qatar protected the leader of the 9/11 attack from the FBI, before he was able to launch his war on America that killed our people. The debate about whether the plane is a legal gift is beside the point. Qatar is a terrorist regime that has murdered Americans.
I cannot let bygones be bygones and those Americans who suffered the consequences of what these monarchies did cannot either. I can’t stop thinking about all the innocent people who went to work that day, and were on those planes, and all the firefighters and police officers who died horrible deaths.
As for Iran, if they get a nuclear weapon that’s on our generation. And our country will suffer the horrible consequences. These are terrorists. They don’t think like us and they don’t love life like us. We must have the guts and wisdom to protect ourselves.
In a separate post, Levin praised Trump, but not without dinging him for using “lines used by the Soros-Koch isolationist crowd about neocons and interventionists” in his speech to the Saudis. Levin linked to a Jewish Insider article about the speech and noted via X:
Isolationism or globalism? Or both?
Actually, POTUS’s speech included some of the lines used by the Soros-Koch isolationist crowd about neocons and interventionists, but the irony is that it was given in the context of a globalist outreach effort to make economic and military deals with and between Middle East monarchies/dictatorships and the biggest of America’s globalists/internationalists/corporatists. We don’t know the details but if they’re great deals for we, the people, that’s wonderful. I truly believe the President is THE best at making GREAT deals. Nonetheless, this looks like globalism wrapped in isolationist language.

“Saudi Arabia played a significant role on the 9/11 slaughter of our people. I didn’t hear their Crown Prince even apologize once yesterday for what they did to us.” Does he not understand that Saudi Arabia does not tolerate al Quida in their country and has sentenced al Quida terrorists to death for killing a BBC reporter. So is every country responsible for anything any citizen of theirs did and is required to apologize for it. Levin typically has smart things to say, this is not one of them.
My little opinion (and hope): Trump is trying to get whatever he can out of Arab States without them seeing it as on behalf of Israel. He wants it to look like it’s all strictly his own America First requests. He did not use his desired with the Saudis to pressure Israel to a Palestinian state (which Biden surely would’ve done), just keeping a distance so Arabs can be open to his requests.
Like Ron Dermer said: Anything that’s officially the desire of Israel will automatically be shut down…
The real question is Who Cares what Levin thinks?
We voted for President Trump exactly so that he can pursue US interests the way he sees fit. Levin doesn’t have 1 percent of the information the President has, nor does he have 1 percent of his business acumen or judgment.
Of course Citizen Levin doesn’t have the same information that the President has. No citizen has 1% of the information that the president has. Did that dissuade Trump supporters from criticizing President Biden? The accusations against Trump are quite significant here and difficult to ignore. Even if you like him (which to say the least I don’t,) nobody should be held to the standard of not criticizing these obvious infringements with national security, constitutional violations, and insensitivity to the victims of terror that were funded by these countries simply because we don’t have the same information that the President has. In a democracy, criticizing a political leader is normal, and rightful.
Wish someone with a less squeaky voice could be the messenger here
