    Trump got Lockheed to bring down the cost of fighter jets

    Why shouldn't he work with them

    So all the b****ing about Obama being Saudi Muslim terror sympathizer because he does massive deals with Saudi was just hyper partisan talk.

    We can agree with this right?

    Outright lying does not behoove you well man. Jared (not from subway) personally negotiated these arms deals that Obama was reluctant to do with Saudi human rights violations. Instead, Trump/Jared gave up on that and threw in a Martin sweetener in exchange for some hotels.

    trump just said in his speech that he was working to get his saudi friends a good deal from american contractors. what the f???

    Remember this when Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Al-Qaeda Barrels returns to terrorize a city near you. The Saudis are the biggest terror financiers in the world and now we've given them $110 billion worth of arms. This is the same country that Trump accused of masterminding 9/11 attacks.
    These arms are going to be used to decimate Yemen, which is going to become the next big hotbed for terrorist recruitment and the cycle of violence will continue. The chickens will come home to roost.

    The last few days I keep hearing from the left that Trump bowed his head. How pathetic leftists have become to just resort to lies and misrepresentation. Everyday liberals have become more and more desperate. It's truly sad.

    Are you kidding right? Trump bending down so Saudi King can reach around his neck does not mean he bowed down. Please just stop it. Stop and admit you were wrong.

    Just like most presidents in the last sixty years

    But you're right. They are not a good partner. Trump is the living in the past on the middle East. The 9-11 highjackers were Saudi

    I wholeheartedly agree with this point

    That's the real problem. This sort of geopolitics is why 9/11 happened in the first place. We continue to prop terrible regimes in the Middle East making deals with the devil. Then, we blame Muslims for hating "Murica and its freedom. The next wave of Yemeni terrorists are gonna hate us because we armed a tyrant against them.

    To be fair technically it was a curtsie.

    Liberals could give two sh&@s if he bowed or not. What they are telling you that you can't comprehend is how hypocrital Trump is and in your zealotry of always defending him no matter what how brainwashed Trump zealots like yourself are.

    -criticized non stop about Obama not using the phrase "radical Islamic".... removes from his vocabulary completely
    -critical of Michelle Obama not covering her kneck.... Melania and Ivanka flaunting their knecks
    -They will bow to me... now he Curtsies to them
    -Says Saudis financed 911... now I'm selling them 100 billion in weapons.
    -Clinton Foundation taking money from Saudis to help Children with aids... now takes 100 million as of yesterday for Ivankas women thing that we have no idea what that means yet for Women
    -Ivanka speaks about women empowerment while the female journalists are asked to leave the room

    Trump is a massive unfunny cloud of irony and the zealotry that follows him is downright cultish. I'm sure you'll watch some FoxNews here in a bit so you can go line by line and defend all of those contradictions instead of admitting "yes he's a lying hypocritical politician but here are the reasons I still support him" like any sane person would do.

    So what would you have wanted Trump to do? Snatch the medal out of the king's hand and cause an international incident? People are being so silly

    Again I really don't care. I'd rather have Trump be respectful than not. Bowing to someone really isn't a big deal. I think the other posters are just pointing hypocrisy for past presidents bowing and then getting criticized for it. I mean I wouldn't be surprised if there's a tweet of Trump criticizing Obama bowing somewhere. How dare both Presidents follow customs in a foreign land and show respect! Right?

    my point is that trump is preaching about stamping out extremists to the people who gave birth to the extremists and fund them. ISIS
