The article humorously recounts a toddler's memorable experience during Donald Trump's visit to the Gulf. As the toddler enjoys various activities, he innocently comments on the camels, leading to reflections on Trump's perception and his interactions with Middle Eastern leaders like Mohammed bin Salman and Sheikh Tamim. The playful atmosphere, complete with redecorated venues and constant tunes of YMCA, is juxtaposed with the serious issues facing the region, creating a satirical look at diplomacy and cultural perceptions.
And the toddler was clearly having a ball. His fun uncles in the Gulf had pulled out all the stops. They played YMCA at every available opportunity, possibly unaware it was a gay anthem.
Did he mean he liked him 'too much' for Saudi Arabia's repressive anti-gay laws? He liked Sheikh Tamim in Qatar as well: Tamim and MBS were both 'tall, handsome guys that happen to be very smart.'
Between the bling and the music and the flirting, it was like Eurovision in the desert.
