Your intellectual dishonesty is almost as shocking as the outright fraudulent nature of your posts.
You have to know what that event signified. You had to have been reading about what went down in Saudi Arabia soon after that photo.
You are just banking on other readers not knowing.

Saudi Arabia and Iran have been enemies forever. It's to stop Iran from having a nuclear weapon. Saudi Arabia isn't pursuing nuclear enrichment, to my knowledge.
Pelosi just said “Trump won’t be President next year, one way or another”

That should worry people.
After what they did during the 2016 election, and what they've done since.

Democrats are suppose to be the front line leaders on LGBT rights. Why did they willingly agree to give billions to a country that stones to death gays.
Will someone PLEASE ask them. Nobody has the proverbial balls to ask them. Ask Buttigieg his thoughts on a country that would stone him and his husband to death for having anal sexual intercourse. These people want to kill you Peter. Why give them money and defend them. They want you and your hubby dead.
About "had a poor record on human rights", how far back are we talking? America's record on human rights isn't the best, so that stone should not be cast...
I think this is important to note. During the period of high black unemployment under Obama, the former chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus – Emanuel Cleaver – said that “with [such high black] unemployment, if we had a white president, we’d be marching around the White House… President [Obama] knows we are going to act in deference to him in a way we wouldn’t to someone white.”

Iranians are protesting their gov because they killed their own people and than lied to cover it up. And you guys give Trump credit for it?
It must be one of those Trump truths in same category with black unemployment being an all time low because of Trump ( although it has been decreasing for the last 10 years and probably will continue during who ever become the next POTUS), or when Trump is taking credit for lower cancer death rates
they're a prolific abuser of human rights, which includes the execution of their own citizens.

Saudi Arabia is guilty of literally everything the OP is proud of Trump being against. And more.
Yet there he is rubbing their ball.
Maybe it’s time to admit that none of this is about any moral crusade to bring down state sponsored terrorism in the name of freedom.
I can't speak for OP, but most rational ppl realize it was never, primarily, about morality.
If it were, we could easily stop humanitarian travesties going on in places like S. Africa.
The difference is, there is no oil, and no Isreal there.
Don't get me wrong, I believe we have national, and security issues in the ME that need to be kept on top of, but the morality rhetoric, and support of revolutionary protests are just tools of leverage.
The economic policies of our first black president exacerbated black unemployment during the recession, helping black unemployment to reach or exceed 16 percent on 11 occasions. Obama Administration officials told us that high national unemployment, high black unemployment and a depressed economic environment in which businesses hired fewer employees because people stopped looking for work was the “new normal.”

To be fair, the graph linked in the article shows a steady decline from 2009 to 2019. It's easy to blame every economic trend on a president.
