Donald Trump has said a lot of bad things about the Saudis -- and Muslims in general.
And we all remember the famous Muslim Ban, which failed in court due to its stupidity. So of course, when Trump went to the House of Saud, he gave them some serious tough talk, and scared them straight...right?
Wrong.
The guy who wrote this on Twitter:
.@BarackObama bowed to the Saudi King in public--yet the Dems are questioning @MittRomney's diplomatic skills.
-- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 30, 2012
That guy was caught today doing this:

And this:
SAUDI KING: Come over
TRUMP: I can't, I said you guys did 9/11
SAUDI KING: We'll buy $110 billion in weapons

Yes, that's right. Donald J. Trump, the guy who told us everything was the Muslims' fault, celebrated his visit to Saudi Arabia by curtsying AND bowing before members of the royal family. And that's not all -- Trump also signed a giant deal to arm the Saudis with additional American weapons.
The media is calling this some kind of win, but there's no way #MAGA idiots are okay with this -- right?
After all, Trump spent the entire election talking about his Muslim Ban, and saying things like "Have you been watching how Saudi Arabia has been taunting our VERY dumb political leaders to protect them from ISIS." And "Saudi Arabia should fight their own wars, which they won't, or pay us an absolute fortune to protect them and their great wealth-$ trillion!." And he retweeted this: "Saudi Arabia are nothing but mouth pieces, bullies, cowards.
They have the money, but no guts."
Nevertheless, among Trump's supporters, reality means nothing. Here's how they have rationalized their alpha male turning into a spineless jellyfish in front of the Saudis:
GREAT AGAIN: Unlike Obama, Trump doesn't bow to Saudi king. https://t.co/wUZQTOhm3x

@FemalesForTrump @jko417 Funny Libs! He allowed the shorter King to put the necklace around his neck. Not a "bow." Should Trump have said, "Get a ladder?"

Well, I guess a curtsy isn't a bow.
