President Trump has decided to take his first foreign trip, and apparently without any shame, he has chosen Saudi Arabia!
Here are some things that the president most likely will not be saying to the Saudis. They're just mere words for us lowly Americans.
In 2011, Trump wrote in his own book about Saudi Arabia: "It's the world's biggest funder of terrorism. Saudi Arabia funnels our petro dollars, our very own money, to fund the terrorists that seek to destroy our people while the Saudis rely on us to protect them." Keeping that thought in mind, the president is expected this weekend to announce a $350 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia, one of the largest arms deals ever!
Think about that...
What else has Trump said to pushover Americans?
He once tweeted the following about Al-Waleed bin Talal, a prominent member of the Saudi royal family: Dopey Prince @Alwaleed_Talal wants to control our U.S. politicians with daddy’s money. Can’t do it when I get elected. When Hillary Clinton accepted $25 million from the Saudis (yes, they butter both sides of the bread), Trump said they were: “people that push gays off … buildings. These are people that kill women and treat women horribly and yet you take their money." Hey, it got the votes though, right?
Finally, the one that real slap in the face to us Americans: “It wasn’t the Iraqis that knocked down the World Trade Center … because they have papers in there that are very secret, you may find it’s the Saudis, okay?” Trump was referring to the declassified 28 pages.
So....just add this turn of events to the growing list of Trump reversals. While we stew in our Obamacare, at the least the Saudis will be happy.
