May 21: A great defeat for Trump's enemies.

While California Democrats were engaging in an orgy of debasing themselves and the networks were bleating that Trump was escaping the US on his first foreign trip, President Trump was sealing the deal with Saudi Arabia and the overwhelming majority of the Islamic world. This was a historic event that demands analysis and I will post on this more. But for now I will just make a few short points.

1. First, the optics. Trump was welcomed in the traditional welcome  of the Beduins for a friend. That was tremendously important. The Media's accusing Trump of being anti Islam was ignored, was ineffective.

2. During all the ceremonies Ivanka and her husband were right near Trump. Why was this important? Because both are Jews and they were accepted. Very important. Very important.

3. During all the ceremonies, Ivanka and Melania were present without any head covering. They both were dressed modestly as required by Islamic code of dress. Also important.

4. The king of Saudi Arabia stated that terrorism from now on is not acceptable for ANY reason. Both, the King and the President emphasized the need to cut off support and financing to the terrorists and this was not linked to any action vs Israel, nor was any exception carved out for terrorism against Israel.\

5. There is a change in paradigm in US policies; i.e. we are no longer tilting toward Iran and Iranian support for terrorism will no longer be tolerated.

6. The US is willing to sell weaponry to SA, but the US is expecting the Islamic world to shoulder the burden of providing for their security.

7. The US is not going to lecture or tell the Islamic world how to live. Unsaid but understood that we expect them to reciprocate. Whatever reform the Islamic world needs should be implemented slowly. Not said but understood: avoiding the chaos caused by the Obama regime.

8. It was a great speech and Trump was every inch a world leader.
