Trumps dials back the rhetoric in Saudi Arabia

Trumps dials back the rhetoric in Saudi Arabia: Distinctly Catholic: The verdict on Trump's first visit to a foreign country is mixed, but the bar is pretty low here, of course. Still, I am glad he cleared it. ​

MGB:_Trump dialed the rhetoric down enough to allow the Saudis to save face. Of course, if we had an honest foreign policy rather than a corporatist one, we would have bombed any country where a majority of the attackers were its citizens bombed us with funding by one of their royals and whose women and dissidents are treated with violence. This trip is no less than an Apology Tour by Trump, except that Trump brought shiny toys with him too, weapons to be used in Yemen and possibly against Iran. Who says he and McCain aren’t friends? Bad timing, however, considering Iran re-elected its moderate President.
