President Donald Trump met with Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the White House on Tuesday, and a statement from the Saudi prince’s senior adviser will have leftists clutching their Play-Doh.
The statement said the Saudi prince sees Trump as a “true friend of Muslims,” and further expressed that the country does not see the executive order temporarily restricting entry to the U.S. from six countries, a list that does not include Saudi Arabia, as a Muslim ban.
“Saudi Arabia does not believe that this measure is targeting Muslim countries or the religion of Islam. This measure is a sovereign decision aimed at preventing terrorists from entering the United States of America,” the statement read.

Statement described the meeting as a “historic turning point” in U.S.-Saudi relations, claiming that they “had undergone a period of difference of opinion. However, today’s meeting has put things on the right track, and marked a significant shift in relations, across all political, military, security and economic fields.”
“All of this,” it went on, “is due to President Trump’s great understanding of the importance of relations between the two countries and his clear sight of problems in the region.”

The two discussed numerous topics, including their shared disdain for the Iran nuclear deal and the efficacy of border walls.
“Both sides discussed the Saudi successful experience in building a fence on the Saudi-Iraqi border, which led to preventing illegal entrance of individuals, as well as preventing smuggling operations,” the statement noted.

Prince Mohammed Bin Salman expressed, after the meeting, his satisfaction with the positive attitude and clarifications he heard from President Trump about his stance on Islam, which runs against what the media promoted about the President, stressing that his Excellency President Trump has an unprecedented and serious intention to work with the Muslim World and to achieve its interests and that Prince Mohammed considers his Excellency as a true friend of Muslims who will serve the Muslim World in an unimaginable manner, opposite to the negative portrait of his Excellency that some have tried to promote whether through publishing unjust statements that are taken out of their context or by means of unrealistic media commentaries and analyses about his Excellency.
After this historic meeting today, the cooperation between the two countries will be in its upmost level. He added that a lot of positive news and details will be announced within the coming period.
Welp, there are going to be a lot of confused leftists after this statement who will need extended retreats to safe spaces so that they can consult their coloring books to figure out how they will spin this one.
The left has claimed, absurdly, that Trump is an Islamaphobe (they love them some “phobe” labels), yet it will be interesting to see how they reconcile that with this statement from Clinton Foundation major donor Saudi Arabia.
