A Trump Quote For The Ages That Libs Will Hate

In Saudi Arabia, a key ally in our axis versus Iran:

Far too many American presidents have been afflicted with the notion that it's our job to look into the souls of foreign leaders and use US policy to dispense justice for their sins ...

“The Arabian Way”

Re: Nicky Chimes In (So Did Mark Halperin)

Mark halperin: Trump’s Tuesday speech in Saudi Arabia – which shockingly gets almost zero coverage in the American media – was one for the ages, with some observers not unreasonably calling it extraordinary, and some supporters saying it was one of the best and most important addresses by a U.S. president in many years.
