"President Cuck": Trump supporters are freaking out over the president's tone change on Islam

“President Cuck”: Trump supporters are freaking out over the president’s tone change on Islam

After the president said nice things about the Saudis, Trump's base believes he's a globalist sellout

CHARLIE MAY

The big news over the weekend was President Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia, the first stop on his first international trip since taking office, and the speech he delivered while there. But the wide range of reactions included many of Trump’s own supporters growing frustrated with his soft tone on the religion of Islam, and his cozying up to the Saudi leaders after a bombastic campaign of spewing hostile rhetoric towards both.

Roger Stone, a longtime friend of Trump and a former adviser for his campaign, said it made him “want to puke” in a tweet that included a picture of the president lowering his head to receive the Order of Abdulaziz medallion from Saudi King Salman. Stone appeared to blame Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, for his behavior.




Other supporters of Trump bashed the president for refusing to utter the words “radical Islamic terrorism” which he endlessly berated former President Barack Obama for tip-toeing around. Trump also called the religion “one of the world’s great faiths” which naturally caused some of his supporters’ heads to explode.







Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross appeared to wooed by the Kingdom and said in an interview with CNBC that there’s “a big sea change” in Saudi Arabia and cited that woman was now the head of Tadawul, the Saudi Arabia stock exchange. Ross went on to say that there’s “no question they’re liberalizing their society.”

hither and yon, and not just with their cutely curtseying Comrade Casino - the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief - but also with all sorts of people. Mighty peeculiar.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... Trump is a CON man. You Trumpsters were his marks and you foolishly bought the sh-tuff this shyster and the enabling bandwagon Republican politicians and their owned and operated propaganda media were selling (and still are).

SNL nailed you die-hard Trump supporters so very well...

Trump has quoted from the song The Snake but the REAL 'snake' is the projector/deflector in chief.

Makes a sane person want to puke, but people like that exist in America still.
