LOL!..

Listen to the Libs sputter. They wanted so badly for Trump to stumble and use phrases that will offend the Saudis. After all, they have called him a moron (well, him, Bush and Reagan) over and over. It would be awfully nice for the Libs if he would just cooperate.
But he didn't.

He did not say the 3 word combination that he and the Right excoriated Obama and Clinton for not saying.

"These are radical islamic terrorists and she won't even mention the word, and nor will President Obama. He won't use the term ‘radical Islamic terrorism,’" Trump said during the Oct. 9 debate at Washington University in St. Louis. "Now, to solve a problem, you have to be able to state what the problem is or at least say the name. She won't say the name and President Obama won't say the name. But the name is there. It's radical Islamic terror."

I guess Trump doesn't think it is a problem anymore?

You don't think the Saudis don't get news about America over there?

I guess I'm not a Lib...because no, no, no I do not want him to mess up and say something ridiculous that his staff then has to try and spin, while he is still defending his original statement.....We don't need that circus over seas.

The statement Trump had on his web site until he was reminded of it begs to differ with you.

Please read below. He did not even say a ban on Muslims from "some" countries.

DONALD J. TRUMP STATEMENT ON PREVENTING MUSLIM IMMIGRATION

(New York, NY) December 7th, 2015, -- Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on. According to Pew Research, among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population. Most recently, a poll from the Center for Security Policy released data showing "25% of those polled agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad" and 51% of those polled, "agreed that Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah." Shariah authorizes such atrocities as murder against non-believers who won't convert, beheadings and more unthinkable acts that pose great harm to Americans, especially women.

Mr. Trump stated, "Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension. Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine. Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life. If I win the election for President, we are going to Make America Great Again." - Donald J. Trump

Yeah -- the spin after the fact was that they weren't banning Muslims but there was too too much out there.

If these posters are Liberals, that would indicate that Liberals are anti-American and want to harm America.
Are these comments about how Trump has treated the kings/rulers of Saudi Arabia with respect and dignity?

Just what is it that liberals are doing that gets us to this "anti-American" rhetoric just too ridiculous for words?

Just looking for clarification before considering these comments any further than necessary...

Yes, because the same guy that bashed Islam for over a year on the campaign trail and is still actively seeking to ban all Muslims from many Islamic countries is suddenly a lover of the prophet Mohammed and all Muslims.

Can't stop laughing...

Do you know anything about what Saudi Arabia is all about? What they want from the United States? How they deal with the Muslims that would like them gone? How they fit into the Muslim world and hold onto their power as kings, absolute rulers?

Think at least twice when it comes to anything that causes Saudi Arabia to receive anything warmly, AT LEAST TWICE, please!

How many billions is that deal worth? Mostly for military weapons?

He was reading a prepared speech. Do you think they just forget all the other crap he has talked? This isn't rocket science.
