Donald Trump just landed in Saudi Arabia for his first appearance on foreign soil as President of the United States and he decided to bring uber-patriotic country music star Toby Keith along with…<\/b>
\nThe criticism first started rolling in immediately after Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, descended the steps of Air Force One soon after landing. Melania Trump was wearing a headscarf, which is not only a custom but a law for women in the devoutly Muslim country. The criticism did not revolve around her decision to not abide by this custom, however, but around her husband\u2019s criticism of the former First Lady\u2019s decision to not wear a headscarf in a 2015 tweet.
Many people are saying it was wonderful that Mrs. Obama refused to wear a scarf in Saudi Arabia, but they were insulted. We have enuf enemies

Hypocrisy between Donald Trump\u2019s actions as President and tweets he made criticizing Barack Obama for the past eight years have become a common feature of his short time in office. For example, the President was a fierce critic of Barack Obama\u2019s golf trips but has taken frequent golf trips since his inauguration.
Trump today made his 6th trip to the golf course in 30 days as president.

\u201cSaudi Arabia and many of the countries that gave vast amounts of money to the Clinton Foundation want women as slaves and to kill gays, \u201d Trump wrote in a Facebook post in June of 2016. \u201cHillary must return all money from such countries!\u201d

Later that same day Trump held a rally in South Carolina and spoke of secret papers that could prove the Saudis were behind the attacks.
\u201cIt wasn\u2019 t the Iraqis that knocked down the World Trade Center, \u201d Trump told the crowd. \u201cBecause they have papers in there that are very secret, you may find it\u2019s the Saudis, OK?\u201d
Comedian David Cross tweeted a joke highlighting the apparent hypocrisy.
Touching and solemn moment this morning in Saudi Arabia, as Trump laid a golden wreath on the tomb of the known 9-11 bomber.

\u201cNow I ain\u2019 t seen my wife\u2019s face since they came here, \u201d Keith sings. \u201cThey make her wear a scarf over her head that covers her from ear to ear.\u201d
Male only concerts are apparently okay with Toby Keith, however.
Remember when Trump and the hypocrite right were upset over Hillary’s dealings with the Saudi?
Yeah, me either. https: \/\/t.co\/simjP0fkaS

\u201cIn eight of the 10 investigations, the panel found no evidence that the air strikes had targeted legitimate military objectives, \u201d the experts wrote in a 63-page report presented to the Security Council in January. \u201cFor all 10 investigations, the panel considers it almost certain that the coalition did not meet international humanitarian law requirements of proportionality and precautions in attack, \u201d the report said. \u201cThe panel considers that some of the attacks may amount to war crimes.\u201d
President Donald Trump\u2019s unwillingness to criticize Saudi Arabia highlights yet another stark contrast between his rhetoric as a candidate and his actions as President.
