Donnie, your “unmoved mover” act didn’t play so well with your audience
The “shared interests,” of course, would be the idea of making as much money as possible for the people running these two countries.
I’m sure all the Trump supporters would readily agree that we share interests and values with the Saudis.
Trumpists - that’s not a prostate exam you’re getting, you know.
He’s like an abuser.
He rants and raves maniacally while at home in an attempt to intimidate, then acts as meek as a church mouse with outsiders.
“Trump did not use the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism,” one he has used often in the past and criticized President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for not using.”
And Fox is in meltdown over this, aren’t they? Has SeanDUH Insanity gone off the deep end yet?
Heck, he bends over and spreads his cheeks for the Russians.
@antisachetdethe The Fox News site is largely giving Him a pass on not using the “magick words”. Same on Melania and Ivanka not covering Their heads.
But the USA is big enough to be a nation of two standards I fully expect Him to get back to the legal Muslim ban schtick once He gets safely back home.
Trump did not use the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism,” one he has used often in the past and criticized President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for not using.
That will not go over well with his Reich-Wing Supporters, but they will let it slide as Hair Furor can do no wrong for them.
Yesterday’s “Radical Islamic Terrorism” is today’s “Shared Interests and Values.” Got it.
Trump shares few values with Islam as I understand it.
But he shares a lot of values with the Saudi ruling family.
Religious intolerance, treating women as property, loathing democracy, controlling the press, liquidating political opponents, shameless nepotism, rampant corruption, brazen self-enrichment, even the multiple wives…
It’s almost as if the Trumps and bin Sauds were separated at birth.
Yet the regime continues to fight for the muslim ban tooth and nail in America.
And even when these bans are struck down, the Customs and Border agents at airports continue their de facto war on Islam.
From CNN.com:
" The speech was aimed at resetting his relationship with the Muslim
world after making a slew of Islamophobic remarks on the campaign trail,
calling for a ban on Muslims and declaring “Islam hates us.”"
…
Yah, one speech lecturing The Keeper of the Two Holy Places (the King of Saudi Arabia) on how he should conduct his internal affairs concerning Islam will instantly reset everybody’s feelings.
We know he loves Russia…makes no bones about it.
I was referring to his rank hypocrisy in calling for a Muslim ban, calling them a font of hatred spurring hate crimes in this country in the process, then going to Saudi Arabia and literally bowing to them.
Heck, we didn’t even get to hear one of his greatest hits, the “Islamic terrorism” comment, for which I’m actually grateful.
And not to be outdone, the non-working missus who refuses to live with her husband had something to say as well:
.@FLOTUS speaking to women in Saudi Arabia says of work/life balance: “You need to balance and find the time.”

To women who are living in a country where they’re not allowed to drive.
They even share that opulent over-the-top display of wealth and gold.
When DT got that award I thought I was looking at Mr T of the “A Team” and I was waiting for trump to bust out with “FOOL!!!”
His supposedly “presidential speech” will be read by the Saudis as plainly targeting Iran.
The Saudis just blocked a UN initiative to strengthen the fight against terrorism, but hey…The Saudis only invented Wahabbism (to keep their own people from rebelling against the way the kingdom shamelessly exploits them; as I understand it, the royals use a lot of real estate fraud on their own people) and they exported the violent ideology to innumerable countries by founding mosques that preach jihad all over the world. Not to mention Saudi is the birthplace of most of the 9/11 terrorists.
Don’t forget the respective “princelings”, and the $100 million they gave to Ivanka.
Nepotism and corruption is an universal language among thuggish dictator types.
I love hereditary enterprises. So do you.
I don’t mind corruption. Neither do you.
I invoke religion for entirely cynical reasons. As do you.
Now let’s all get filthy rich and grab some pussy! [Cheers.]
@darrtown I don’t pity that fool.
“We are not here to lecture. We are not here to tell other people how to live, what to do, who to be, or how to worship,” Trump said, speaking at the Arab Islamic American Summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. “Instead, we are here to offer partnership based on shared interests and values to pursue a better future for us all.”
Is he running for the Democratic nomination in 2020?! How will the Republicans respond to calls of equality for all from tRump?
Shows you that he is the fairest weather fan! The yuuugest!
