    Mr. Trump himself had little to say publicly on Saturday, calling his first stop of his trip “a tremendous day” that would bring “hundreds of billions of dollars of investments into the United States and jobs, jobs, jobs.”

    This is what Americans have been waiting for.
    No more Obama outsourcing of US jobs today!

    Any old time you want to admit to being wrong about Obama receiving the same medal...

    I co wrote a book about friendships in Arabia. Fahd published it in Arabic with photos and gave it to all Saudi students. So they invited the authors to tour KSA for two weeks. It was quite grand with a fleet of Mercedes, drivers, translators and camera crew. Several press conferences.

    We toured Jeddah, Riyadh, Dammam, Dhahran, Ras Tanura, and Asir in the south.

    If Washington is Trump's agony, however, Riyadh amounted to his ecstasy, replete with lavish displays of admiration for the new leader.
    In Washington, activists project provocative phrases onto the side of the Trump International Hotel (the latest, on Monday, read "Pay Trump Bribes Here").

    In Riyadh, government officials project a five-story image of Trump's face onto the side of his hotel instead.
    Red carpets are abundant. Outside the Royal Terminal at the King Khalid airport, workers were busy fluffing the scarlet strip until the moment Trump emerged from Air Force One.

    Trump is replacing the good US jobs that Obama outsourced and eliminated.
    Trump is putting America first!

    Jared worked to CLOSE the deal. There are Posers and there are CLOSERS. Kushner personally called the CEO of Lockheed Martin, Marillyn A. Hewson, who, of course, could have said no, if they didn't want the deal. But they did. The Customer Did, Deal Struck. And Libs are all standing around going "What Happened?" A DEAL was made. America is Back In Business!

    You missed this part:
    "on Friday, the administration told Congress it would sell some $500 million in precision-guided munitions to Saudi Arabia.

    The State Department says the munitions will improve Saudi targeting ability, particularly in Yemen, where it has been criticized for civilian deaths in its fight against Iranian-backed rebels."

    You want to whine about the lack of collateral damage?

    You mean the treaty where Iran's nuke program is halted?
    Yes, it was a good job.
    We were talking about the so-called president selling arms to the home of Wahhabism, and you bring up Iran.
    If you can't win an argument, deflect.

    That is a funny post ^^ The Saudi's will be fighting ISIS - something the previous administration could not do. Give Billions of dollars to Iran, the world's leading sponsor of terror, no problem. Give away the victory in Iraq, no problem. etc. ,,, etc. ,,,

    If you believe that I've got a bridge in NorCal that I'm selling cheap.

    But yet another example of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Trump selling weapons to the Wahhabi's ?? Come'on man.
