Trump Signs “Single Largest Arms Deal In US History” With Saudi Arabia Worth $350 Billion
I judge people by their actions, not by their words. The non-interventionist candidate’s words were meaningless drivel to get elected. His actions reflect those of a neo-con warmonger still believing the US can police the world and has no problem selling arms to the people who were behind the 9/11 attacks.

To be sure, Trump arrival in Saudi Arabia on Saturday was quite a spectacle, with the Saudi king throwing the president’s family arrival at the Royal Diwan a “welcome fit for a king.”
