Trump Slammed Michelle Obama For Not Covering Hair In Saudi Arabia, But... | HuffPost

'
Donald Trump’s old tweets keep coming back to haunt him. This time, they followed him to Saudi Arabia, during his first trip overseas as president of the United States.



In 2015, half a year before he announced he was running for president, Trump criticized then-first lady Michelle Obama for not wearing a headscarf over her hair during a trip to Saudi Arabia. The Saudis “were insulted,” Trump tweeted. “We have enuf [sic] enemies.”




But when Trump and his family visited the Islamic nation this weekend, people noticed that his wife, Melania, and his elder daughter, Ivanka, did the exact same thing. '

This is normal for Dear Leader. If you point it out, conservatives all get amnesia at the same time and will blatantly like about and disavow the things they were arguing for just mere minutes ago. It's called lacking personal integrity.

WELL, of course... big surprise that is. Same old, same old.... is he ever even aware of doing this? If he were to be shown proof of what he states then contradicts himself, how would he react? Would he just shrug? Just one of his many flaws. I CAN'T STAND him.

When will he be out of our lives?

Which slam?

Playing too much golf?
Kissing up to the Muslim nations?
Allowing his wife to run around without a headscarf, embarrassing our nation?
Allowing bankers into his cabinet?
Fighting with the press?

Need I go on?

We have Trump because far too many refused to do the same concerning Obama. If the "left" had called out Obama, we do not have Trump today.

Is this a legit complaint concerning Trump? It is. It's small potato's compared to starting wars though.

What you don't get is the left doesn't really care if:

The President plays too much golf.
The President tries to bridge the divide with Muslim nations.
The First Lady doesn't wear a head covering in a Muslin nation (**heck, we don't even mind nudie pics).
...and so on...

What we are astounded over is the 180 degree change the "right" has made on these issues.

It was bordering on a crime when the same things were done under Obama. And Trump loudly criticized all of these things. Yet, he does the same thing, or worse, and it's perfectly fine.

And can you imagine the fake outrage if Obama's first foreign trip as president had been to Saudi Arabia (Mecca, gasp!) followed by Israel?? There was such a constant stream of ugliness about him not being a "real American." Can you imagine how the right would have been so lathered up? How he would've visited Israel first if he wasn't a secret Muslim hell bent on implementing Shira law throughout the world...and this just shows he'll cow-tow to radical Islamic terrorists every time...

Meanwhile, the Middle East is clearly trolling Trump with all the over-the-top glitz and glamour. It's genius, really, how they are so effectively playing to his massive ego. After his idiotic statements about China in particular, this was a brilliant strategy on their part. Impressive, ME, very impressive.

They did complain. They are hypocrites in many cases. Hypocrites really can't call out hypocrisy though.
