Also, there was the sword dance. Look at him groove. It was quite a trip. And for the Trump Administration it had to be a really nice distraction because just days before that trip and that sword dance Robert Mueller had been appointed special counsel to take over the russia investigation and to look into trumps firing of the fbi director, jim comey, earlier that month. But it turned out the trump trip to the middle east and the Mueller Investigation were on a collision course. Shortly after trump got back from that trip to saudi arabia he completely upended his u. S. Foreign policy in the middle east by a tweet, by backing an aggressive move by saudi arabia against the nation of qatar, a staunch american ally that hosts a giant American Military base.
