where is all the concern for muslim women in SA greta?
where is your "rage" against muslims now, or are you ok with placating them with billions for providing arms to jihadists and terrorists????
You expect any media to not point out what was wrong with his speech?
why?
you expect people to believe your taint kissing?
not happening
Trump agenda since his election was not about woman's right in Saudi Arabia.
His agenda was to get the damn Muslims to fix the damn terrorism problems their religion has created around the world.
He never claim he had any goals to fix woman's right in the Muslim world.
So to me, I don't expect him to.
But it's the politicians who claims to defend woman's right and then defend Muslim rights despite being the most anti-women religion in this world, IS what I will call out.
Melania and Ivanka Trump make stops in Saudi Arabia to promote women's empowerment

Ivanka Trump meets with Saudi women leaders as some activists remain critical
“All the women that Ivanka Trump met have a guardian,” said Aziza al-Yousef, a 58-year-old Saudi activist who has campaigned to abolish the guardianship rules. A retired computer science professor at King Saud University, she was recently rebuffed when she tried to deliver to the government a 14,700-signature petition on eliminating the guardian system.
“All these achievements depend on whether you’re lucky to be born in a family where your guardian will be understanding, will help you,” Yousef said. “If Ivanka is interested in women empowerment and human rights, she should see activists, and not just officials.”

A recent royal decree called for easing some aspects of the guardian system, which requires a father, brother, husband or other close relative to accompany women outside the home and give written consent for them to access higher education, jobs and health care. The decree, which gave agencies three months to come up with new rules, does not include the right for women to travel independently outside the country.
“It’s not about Ivanka speaking at the meeting,” said activist Loujain al-Hathloul, “but is it actually useful for these women from Saudi Arabia to speak as well? Is their contribution in such events helpful to us Saudi women in general, not princesses or business owners or rich women? Does it actually help us? I doubt it.
Saudi Arabia, UAE pledge $100 million to ethically questionable fund proposed by Ivanka TrumpDonald Trump criticized similar donations to the Clinton Foundation when he was a candidate.
The fund, which was first announced in April, has already raised serious legal and ethical questions about how a White House adviser can both shape foreign policy and actively solicit donations from foreign countries for the fund.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the initiative would provide technical assistance and investments for projects that support the economic empowerment of women around the globe. Ivanka Trump does not control the money, though she first pitched the idea to World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim and has discussed the idea with leaders such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
On Sunday, World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim praised “Ivanka’s leadership” in spearheading the fund, and called it “a stunning achievement.”
President Donald Trump was extremely critical of Saudi Arabia’s contributions to the Clinton Foundation while campaigning against Hillary Clinton, going so far as to call for Clinton to return all the money given to the foundation, both in speeches on the campaign trail and during the October presidential debate.
“You talk about women and women’s rights. These are people that push gays off business — off buildings. These are people that kill women and treat women horribly, and yet you take their money,” Trump said during the debate. “So I’d like to ask you right now. Why don’t you give back the money that you’ve taken from certain countries that treat certain groups of people so horribly? Why don’t you give back the money. I think it would be a great gesture.”
The Clinton Foundation has received between $10 million and $25 million from Saudi Arabia. A foundation spokesperson said during the campaign that the foundation did not accept any donations from Saudi Arabia while Clinton was Secretary of State. Trump also accused the foundation of “pay-to-play” schemes during Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State.
He has not, however, spoken about the legal and ethical concerns associated with Ivanka Trump’s World Bank initiative. Since Ivanka works as a senior adviser in the White House, it’s possible that she could be involved with foreign policy decisions relating to the countries that have donated to the fund. It’s not illegal or unprecedented for presidents or their families to engage in philanthropy while in the White House, but such efforts are required to go through a lengthy approval process to ensure that there is no sort of special access or influence given in exchange for donations.
