Better then saudi pro islamists.  

Exactly what I was thinking. I can’t believe there are so many dumb and blind people on this comments section, they can’t realize how harmful the business relationship between the USA political class and the House of Saudi has been over the last three decades, not only for the Americans, but for most of the Muslim world. These people act with the same ignorance the crowd that supported the Invasion of Iraq did back in 2003-2004.

 

Trump will likely be bought by them too. They have too much money to not have influence, they are already from what I understand doing things like restocked Trump's books in stores (which were removed after his campaign rhetoric) in a effort to suck up to him. They'll quietly cut a deal for Trump hotels in Qatar/SA etc. and be back on the payroll, but it'll be done quietly and away from public view. 

Trump said he was anti-Goldman Sachs too and blasted Clinton and Cruz for ties to them

Yet he just hired Goldman Sachs president to his cabinet. So I wouldn't really assume he has much conviciton on a lot of the things he says. 

Saudi Arabia also has massive arms contracts with US companies, and any attempt to interfere with that would put Trump on the shit list of the US industrial miltary complex. 

Really at the end of the day I think the way this really works is it's a mega-rich person's club and they just play musical chairs with it, but they're all part of the club.
