A royal greeting awaited President Donald Trump Saturday when he touched down in Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam and a leading regional power.

King Salman met Trump and first lady Melania on the tarmac, and walked them back to the terminal on a red carpet lined by Saudi military. The party then held a brief ceremony in the terminal before the president's motorcade sped away from the airport.

American and Saudi flags lined the highways of the country's capital Riyadh, along with billboards featuring Trump's face. Trumpets played and jets flew overhead streaming red, white and blue colors.

The fanfare contrasted with the low-key reception offered to former President Barack Obama last year.

On Sunday, Trump is due to address the global Muslim community in what national security adviser H.R. McMaster called an "inspiring, but direct speech on the need to confront radical ideology."

Before leaving the United States Friday, Trump said he would use his trip to protect American interests.

Coming down the the red carpet, it showed FL Trump walking three steps behind her husband. At that moment, wish the Trumps had been briefed to walk, shoulder to shoulder.

Later the First Couple were side-by-side.

The young 'ums got it right

When they were accepting the flowers, did they have to run-for-cover at the sound of sniperfire?

Like I said, your racist BS makes FR look bad. You can’t control your bigoted urge to spew that crap instead of commenting on the topic at hand. Take it to StormFront where it belongs you POS.
