What a fascinating time to observe President Donald Trump’s first trip abroad. The Democrats seem fascinated by the treatment of women in Saudi Arabia. And I say, “Hey, welcome aboard.”

Because many of us saw President Obama as an apologist for Islamist extremism; he didn’t glorify it, but he explained it away far too often for my taste.

My Liberal friends are knocking Trump for selling arms to Saudi Arabia, but what about Obama arming Iran?

I am very enthusiastic with Trump’s speech in the Middle East. It was a tough love speech. And I applaud him saying that people in the Middle East should be taking in displaced people from the region.

I’m all in on his speech and this was a win for President Trump. And it’s meaningful that he visited Israel as well. I’m proud of our president.

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
