Discussion: WATCH LIVE: Trump Speaks In Saudi Arabia On First Trip Abroad At 9:20 AM ET

@demyankee shaving’s not a requirement in the Magic Kingdom or Israel. I think it’s the cardamom coffee, turkey bacon and lack of alcohol that’s getting to him.

OT Ivanka’s getting to know all the State Department people. No chance of her committing a faux pas if she doesn’t speak to any Saudi men :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m looking forward to hearing Trump talk about “the battle between good and evil.” Has there ever been someone less believable in using that kind of language?

Doing other things earlier but kept hearing some MSNBC guest saying that trump will do okay as long as he reads what “someone else” wrote for him…subtle but effective dig.

trump seems to be having trouble staying awake as Salman does his long speech.

Meanwhile UAE has worked with Treasury on anti money laundering since shortly after 9/11. Nice to see RSA is getting on board.

Wow. He even shaved and put on a tie for them. Ups the level of hypocrisy, BIGLY. And sitting in a g(u)ilt chair. Perfect.

Still early but someone rehearsed the hell out of him. Words of more than two syllables and correctly pronounced. No wonder the bags under his eyes are more massive than usual.

“extremist ideology” the alt-r will probably accept that with a wink and nod.

That was my first thought .
The trip is young though. If he’s speaking he will say something stupid. Gauranteed
If he stays on script , that will last until he gets back and starts the unhinged late night tweets as you know he will.

It’s so depressing that the wonderful economic deal that will create jobs for Americans is the design, production and marketing of weaponry.

Now back to the “combating extremism” leitmotif and how pivotal today’s lecture will be. A minor head of state might develop these themes a little … but that’s a bridge too far for such a “great mind” lol
