Trumps previous comments on Saudi Arabia-
insider.foxnews.com/2017/05/19/john-bolton-president-trump-foreign-trip-stops-saudi-arabia-israel-more
From the article (Fox news, rather surprisingly)-
Neil Cavuto played a clip of his January 2008 interview with Trump, in which the billionaire businessman claimed U.S. foreign policy toward the Saudis is weak. Trump said that would stop if he were president.

"If I were president, you'd have $30 oil right now," Trump said. "I would call up Saudi Arabia ... and I would say, 'That f*ing price is coming down, and it's coming down now.' And you know what? They'd lower that price so quickly, and it would be so easy."

When Cavuto asked what Trump would do if they refused, he assured him, "They will."

Hasn't someone in the entourage publicly dissociated 45 from anything (unfortunate) he may have said as a 'candidate'?

Sorry that I can't remember the exact turn of phrase that was attempted.

Ah, Cave, I now remember a recent (in U.K.) Madam Secretary episode was about gifts too. I wonder what's happened to the Trump gifts.

Hasn't someone in the entourage publicly dissociated 45 from anything (unfortunate) he may have said as a 'candidate'?

Except that he has been trying to build that wall, and has tried to keep Muslims out of the country.

Cornerstones, Lweji. Still cornerstones.

He seems to be following this message:

If I promised it in the election, it doesn't count. Unless of course it means you still support me, in which case it doesn't count, but I'll pretend it counts. Until you reach the point where you don't believe it counts to me, then you are FAKE NEWS and I'll assume you're Muslim and shouldn't be in the country anyway.

Where do you live, so I can have you deported?

Saudi King Salman presents Trump with the Collar of Abdulaziz Al Saud, the nation's highest honor. For more 📸 : instagram.com/cnnpolitics

I'm sorry, but "the Collar of Abdullaziz Al Saud" ?? Has anyone researched this? I don't want to be all "not PC" and all, but it sounds like something out of Legend of Zelda. Are we sure he didn't just make it up to make Trump feel important??

And what about this? This says that THIS is the highest honour, not the one Trump got.... hmmmmm

Saudi King has crowned two US Presidents
In 2008 President Bush got the order. Three days ago President Obama put this gold chain around his neck. «King Abdul Aziz Order of Merit», is the Islamic Kingdom of Saudi Arabias highest honor.

It sounds all grand but it's all just a bit of bling. I'm sure he doesn't get to drive his sheep/camels over Westminster bridge or anything like that.

crowned???

Sorry, but had to at this.

I can see him saying the sane everywhere ^oh I can definitely see myself retiring to Saudi Arabia/Italy/UK(god forbid)/Korea... sooky sooky".

I can just hear Mrs iq45 saying 'over my dead body'.

I'm sorry, but "the Collar of Abdullaziz Al Saud" ?? Has anyone researched this? I don't want to be all "not PC" and all, but it sounds like something out of Legend of Zelda. Are we sure he didn't just make it up to make Trump feel important??

Yes, I'd say so!

He should have called it "the Trumpius Collar of Abdullah Trumpdom".

Trouble is DT would believe it

Haha on wanting to retire there... jog on Trumpy, make that early! Does he know anything about anything? Is he a supporter of Sharia Law then??? It is the strictest of the strict adherence there and they behead more foreigners than they do their own each year and Sharia law is the only religion out there. But hey Trump.... off you go... he is a grade 1 arse isn't he..

Gumpendorf & those interested:

www.state.gov/s/cpr/c29447.htm

there are links by year to gifts and the dispositions thereof.

Last night on Bill Maher's show. Warning to Pence fans - he's not too kind about him.

Federal employees (including the Pres) are forbidden to accept gifts other than those 'of nominal value'.

The medal will have to go to the National Archives. I'll bet it'll be taken with Donnie holding on to the chain being dragged kicking and screaming like a toddler "but it's MINE!!!".

For further edification, this pertains to the Pres and high ranking officials. The rules for the rank and file Govt employee is, naturally, very different:

Replying to @MuslimIQ
You can't say "I'm banning muslims until we figure out WTH is going on" while your $350B arms trade kills civilians

YOU are what's going on

I've heard the far right rightly condemn oppression of women, atheists, & minorities in Saudi.

Amazing how a $350B Arms sale silences them.
