What I hate about tRump in Saudi [View all]
I lived in Dhahran Saudi Arabia for two years, so I know a little about the culture. Arabs are the single most genuinely welcoming people on the planet. Period. If you are their guest, they will do anything to make you comfortable and happy. You will receive drinks and something to eat within ten minutes of entering their home. You will be welcome to stay as long as you want. If you admire one of their possessions, it is yours. They truly honor their guests, no matter what.
That is what irritates me about tRump being there. He is so utterly unworthy of their hospitality it makes me sick. He was given the Collar of Abdulaziz Al Saud, something he does not come close to deserving (but he is their guest). He was given a big show with the sword dance (because he is their guest). Did you notice that immediately after disembarking AF1 both he and Melania were given bouquets (because guests are appreciated). Ivanka and Melania get to walk around without covering their heads (because a guest should not be embarrassed by being told they are doing something impolite).
Donnie is an asshole who derides Arab culture, yet he is reveling in their hospitality. Make no mistake, they are treating him like royalty, and he is loving it 100%. But he will leave Saudi without having gained any appreciation for that culture. He will still look down on them and believe they treated him that way because he is special.
