RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (CBSMiami/AP) — President Donald Trump called the first day of his maiden international trip “tremendous.”

The president was largely kept away from reporters during a busy day of meetings and ceremonies in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. But late in the day, he said deals the U.S. government and private sector reached would lead to “tremendous investments” in the United States.

He says the deals will also create “jobs, jobs, jobs.”

Trump and Saudi King Salman also signed a series of agreements cementing their countries’ military partnerships, including tanks, combat ships, missile defense systems, radar and communications, and cybersecurity technology....

Did Trump bow down like Obama did?

No...In fact, with the reception President Trump received, it seemed to be the opposite...He was received with dignity...

Now that President Trump has delivered $110 billion for the military-industrial complex, can they use their clout to ferret out some of the deep state saboteurs for the president?

Yep, Saudi’s killing Iranians and one side is paying us for the bullets. What’s not to like?

Selling sophisticated weapons systems to muzzies is not my idea of a good business model. Especially when it has not been dis-proven that SA was not behind the 911 terrorist funding and are not supporting the spread of sharia law right here in our own backyard.

Coming back with they need them to defend themselves against the Iranians will not wash. We have so many forces in the Gulf, Japan and Indian Ocean we would be there to bail them out in a matter of minutes.

No, do not like it, we should be disarming and protecting OURSELVES against mudslimes not arming them.

While there were certainly Saudi nationals involved in the 9 11 destruction, they were renegades and not the Saudi’s greeting the President today

Do you get uncomfortable when they uncage the rattlesnakes in your church on sunday morning?

About six weeks ago, the German Foreign Minister showed up in Saudi Arabia for a visit. It was then announced that Saudi Arabia had zero interest or intention of buying ANY German-made weapons. Reason? Continual internal bickering by German opposition parties to how the weapons would be used....over and over from the past decade. For some of these German companies, it weakens their ability greatly and probably makes them candidates to either leave Germany or be bought by US companies eventually.

I’m not saying that this weaponizing Saudi Arabia is a positive thing, but a financially-recovering Iran will eventually become a problem and these two ‘children’ represent a future conflict of some type.

The leftists on Huffington are already accusing him of bowing because of this photo, but he is getting the Saudis highest honor, a medal put on him and he's tall so he had to lean over, so it ain't bowing but leave it to them to distort the truth. They'll probably even photoshop that medal off next and it will be headlines all week "TRUMP BOWS!"
