Make the rich pay their fair share, except for rich politicians, rich ECL movie stars, ECL businesses.
You must develop the ability to be disliked in order to free yourself from the prison of other people's opinions.

So, who is paying for it? Where does the money ultimately come from? I mean, he is the POTUS, not in charge of another country.

I think the MOU says something about The Gulf Coast Coalition Arab States(?) mostly investing in projects, along with MAYBE some U.S. Private (non tax monies) investment. The U.S. VP outlined it I believe. [checking sources . . . ]

Quote:U.S. Vice President JD Vance said Monday that Washington could encourage Gulf countries to invest as much as $300 billion in Iran under a future agreement, while stressing that no American taxpayer money would be used.
US may invite Gulf countries to invest $300B in Iran, JD Vance says

Ah, I see, Mexico will pay for the wall...
For someone who says he is a businessman, he has some weird ideas about money. And clearly, all of his 'yes men' are scared to inform him that he is an idiot in such 'difficult' concepts.

For a doctor, you sure have weird and twisted ways of interpreting simple things.
Do you have any books you've written?

I have a couple of book ideas - unfinished and therefore unpublished.
And, to clear up any assumptions, my academic qualifications are not in medicine, but in astrophysics - where I do not have a doctorate.

Media in the Gulf (I don’t know whether you’ve been there; I used to live there) are completely censored and do whatever the authorities tell them to. Right now the GCC and Israel are uncomfortable allies in the war with Iran, so anti-Israel rhetoric is being suppressed. Never the less, Israel remains the most hated country among the populations of the GCC – just as it is, I fear, in the rest of the world outside Western Europe and North America.
