In Saudi to talk weapons, Trump doesn't Twitter-scold Melania for uncovered hair as he did Michell

Calling trump a hypocrite seems lame. Just a sewer creature will do for me.

The fact that Michelle Obama showed up without a headscarf in Saudi Arabia two years ago sparked a dumbass comment from you-know-who.






...............................

Against a stark desert backdrop, Mr. Trump and his wife, Melania, emerged from Air Force One just before 10 Saturday morning. He was greeted on a long red carpet by King Salman, who was leaning on a cane, and other members of the Saudi monarchy.

Mrs. Trump stood near her husband with her hair uncovered, in the tradition of previous American first ladies. The country’s tradition is for Saudi women to cover their heads in public. (In 2015, Mr. Trump criticized Michelle Obama on Twitter for eschewing a head scarf during an official visit here. Hillary Clinton and Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany also did not cover their hair during trips to the country.)

Not only did Melania eschew a scarf, she OMG wore a pantsuit in Saudi Arabia. But then so did Michelle Obama in 2015, Hillary Clinton in 2012, and Condoleeza Rice in 2008, all of whom also did not cover their hair. Our mockery of a president hasn’t seen fit to chastise Melania on Twitter. At least not so far.

The big discussion at the two-day meeting will be the $110 billion in arms the Saudis want to buy over the next decade. .............................
