A royal greeting awaited President Donald Trump Saturday when he touched down in Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam and a leading regional power.
King Salman met Trump and first lady Melania on the tarmac, and walked them back to the terminal on a red carpet lined by Saudi military. The party then held a brief ceremony in the terminal before the president's motorcade sped away from the airport.
American and Saudi flags lined the highways of the country's capital Riyadh, along with billboards featuring Trump's face. Trumpets played and jets flew overhead streaming red, white and blue colors.
The fanfare contrasted with the low-key reception offered to former President Barack Obama last year.
On Sunday, Trump is due to address the global Muslim community in what national security adviser H.R. McMaster called an "inspiring, but direct speech on the need to confront radical ideology."
Before leaving the United States Friday, Trump said he would use his trip to protect American interests.

In your bigotry, you miss the point entirely. Saudi Arabia not only has an ocean of oil but has used it wisely to develop the country and benefit the people.
There is a lingering ultra conservative islam that is in fact giving way.
The primary task of the king is as keeper of the two holy mosques. That he has done well.

Stood straight up with his wife by his side, looking the king in the eye.
Been a long time, a very long time.

Later on, when the king put a medal around the President’s neck he had to bend over so the 80 year old king could reach him. Look out for some in the media to try to call that a bow in 3..2..1..

How much did the Saudi embassy pay you for that shameless plug?
Anyway, let me know whenever a female Saudi convert to Christianity can drive her car to her church in Riyadh.
BTW, the King as mosque guardian’s most important royal council member is his oil minister, bottom line.
Aloha Snackbar!

You noticed that. Also interesting that they have to pay deference to the Jews, Ivanka and Jared. Not an accidental signal.

And yet Melania is wearing a modest black dress. It’s like a fashionable burka of sorts. Brilliant! And the YUGE gold belt is an eye-catcher.
