Middle East power players secret chat groups show surprising White House preferences
Gulf region leaders and Israeli officials show clear preferences in US leadership styles. Their favored approach bypasses traditional government processes for quick-fire decision making through messaging apps
Mid-east power brokers have a clear fave in US politics - its not what youd expect. Donald Trumpʼs simple decision-making style matches perfectly with Gulf leaders preferred way of doing things
The connection between Gulf states Israel and Trump goes beyond just Iran policies (where they see him as more hard-line than others). These leaders enjoy his straight-forward governing style thats similar to their own quick-messaging approach to leadership; no complex government processes needed
During Trumpʼs time in office decision-making was super-streamlined: a well-timed whatsapp message to Jared Kushner could change US policy overnight. This direct-line approach meant regular government staff had to play catch-up with presidential decisions - exactly how things work in Gulf states
Traditional US administrations (like the current one) work differently; they use inter-agency talks and multiple-department reviews. While this system is slower it blocks the kind of quick outside influence that was common during Trumps time. Middle East leaders dont like this old-school approach but have to deal with it
The preference is clear - if Gulf and Israeli officials could vote in US elections (which they cant of course) theyd pick the fast-messaging style over standard government processes. They prefer leadership thats just a quick chat away
