Trump will give a speech on Islam in Saudi-Arabia. It was written by an Islamophobe.

Perhaps the most fraught part of the trip is a speech Trump is scheduled to give in Riyadh, in which he will address the world's Muslims with a discussion of Islam. What could possibly go wrong?

For starters, the speech is being written by Stephen Miller, the former Jeff Sessions aide who has a broad policy portfolio in the White House. Among other things, Miller helped author the administration's ban on travel from several Muslim countries, and is seen as a partner with Stephen Bannon in a long-term project to limit immigration and push back on non-European cultural influences. Miller is hardly alone on this score; Trump's administration is rife with Islamophobes, from Bannon to Sebastian Gorka to the president himself. This has not been lost on the world's Muslims, who may be less than receptive to a lecture from Trump on the past, present, and future of their religion.

Since Masada is the site of a famous siege that culminated in mass suicide, Trump's extemporaneous remarks would no doubt have been ... interesting.

Not that I want to see our country fail, but trump's idea of success is not at all congruent with mine.

7. If anyone deserves this, it's the Saudis.

I won't lose any sleep worrying that Trump might insult them.
