Here are two opposite views of Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia. From Anne Applebaum in the Washington Post:
Before he moves on to Israel and then to Europe, before we are consumed by the next scandal and forget, here is a list, for the record, of just a few of the ways in which President Trump’s trip to Saudi Arabia was bizarre, unseemly, unethical and un-American…
and from Anthony Cordesman at The Hill:
For all the sound and fury over his public remarks and tweets in Washington, President Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia has been a very different story. The president gave the right speech in the right place at the right time. There will still be critics on issues like human rights and Yemen, but the president had a different focus — and almost certainly the right one.
Compare and contrast.
Whether one agrees with Cordesman or not, his piece was one of point and support for his point, focused on the strategic issues existent.
Ms Applebaum, as has been the pattern with the Post, NYT, CNN etc for at least the last three months, appears to have found no better use of her time than to take the product of her morning constitution and fling it in a hissy fit.
Lot of that going around.
