Never a moment in your lives when you aren't hypocrites, eh libs? If Trump should be criticized for anything, it should be for selling the Saudis $5 billion less than your precious and holy Obama.

In defense of the liberals, some 40% of them had never followed politics before the 2016 election. So it isn't that they are mind-numbingly stupid, or that they exhibit a level of hypocrisy that is indicative of a serious mental disorder. It's just that nearly half of them weren't following the news when their Democrat heroes either openly advocated, did outright, or surpassed every single thing thing that they hate Trump for doing.

I think they are upset because the arms deal is supposed to go against Iran who Obama adores. Iran just reelected the president backed by the man who was responsible for a terrorist attack against americans

President Trump has just announced the sale of a whopping $110 billion to Saudi Arabia which includes “tanks and helicopters for border security, ships for coastal security, intelligence-gathering aircraft, a missile-defense radar system, and cybersecurity tools,” reports ABC News. It forms part of a 10-year, $350 billion agreement in a “strategic vision” between the two countries, reports the Washington Post.



The deal had been in the works for some time, but the White House evidently pushed hard to finalize the deal in time to announce it during the president’s trip to Saudi Arabia. It was meant to send a clear message: Trump isn’t going to do things the way his predecessor did.



Back in September, the Obama administration approved a more than $115 billion arms deal with the Saudis. But as the death toll and reports of human rights violations in the Saudi-led war on Yemen began to rise dramatically, the Obama administration nixed the sale of the precision-guided munitions it had originally agreed to put in the deal to try to coerce the Saudis into curbing those atrocities.



Now those munitions are back in the Trump arms package — which speaks volumes about this administration.



In fact, the entire deal paints a vivid picture of the Trump administration — an administration that is willing to bend over backwards to make deals with important friends, that doesn’t let human rights concerns get in the way of doing business, and where personal relationships with those closest to the president can prove highly lucrative.

Wasn't it trump who called Obama stupid for selling arms to the radical islamic terrorists when he sold them to the Saudis
