8:14Now PlayingTrump got some really interesting gifts when he visited Saudi Arabia. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola, the hosts of The Young Turks, show you what he got. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“When he was a presidential candidate, Donald J. Trump took a hard line against Saudi Arabia, criticizing its human rights record and slamming his opponent, Hillary Clinton, for the donations her family foundation received from the country.
But as president, Mr. Trump has been more generous to Saudi Arabia, and newly published State Department records indicate that, in several dozen small but extravagant ways, it has been pretty nice to him, too.
The records published by The Daily Beast this week list more than 80 gifts that Saudi Arabia gave Mr. Trump when he visited in May, some of which evoke both Indiana Jones and Liberace. (“Orange traditional shirt with silver floral embroidery and leather ammo holder and holster” is one entry.)
Other eye-catching gifts include a sword, a copy of the Kuwaiti Constitution, a “sleeveless white silk cotton garment” and two robes lined with the fur of white tigers. Mr. Trump also received a portrait of himself and three chiffon dresses: one yellow, one pale pink and one yellow and turquoise.”
