Saudi Arabia is not America’s friend. The Saudi Royal family has ordered the torture and murder of thousands of dissidents. Their record on human rights is deplorable. The Saudi culture continues to be sexist and racist. When America was attacked on September 11, 2001 fifteen of the nineteen Muslim radicals who murdered thousands of innocent Americans were Saudi Nationals. Osama bin Laden was a member of the royal family. However, Trump remains indebted to the royal family and is sending United States military to defend them against an imaginary threat from Iran.
Growing tensions between the United States and Iran are the result of Trump’s hasty decision to renege on the nuclear arms agreement negotiated by President Obama and a qualified Secretary of State, John Kerry.
Trump made a unilateral decision to sell military weapons to the Saudis. He followed this deplorable decision by giving them our nuclear secrets. Now he is placing hundreds of America’s military in harm’s way. Trump continues to repay the royal family for saving his business interests in 1995.
Trump is not an American president. It is despicable for a man who was elected to serve the American people to ignore that fact and offer his loyalty and support to the leaders of a foreign nation.
Trump is very busy. No, for once he wasn’t golfing. Last night he was holding another of his hate rallies in North Carolina. During his attacks on everyone but himself a new chant arose; “send her back.” Of course, his white crowd was referring to Trump’s recent racist attacks on four racially diverse freshman members of the House.
Trump hates democracy and individual freedom. He would prefer to remake America into Nazi Germany. I have a suggestion, “send him back.” Trump’s grandfather immigrated from Germany, and Trump should return to his country of origin.
I can dream, can’t I?
