Steve Clemons: Ceremonies Yesterday ‘a Kind of Seduction of President Trump by the Saudis’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BROWN: "In contrast to the Obama Administration, the optics of this first day were quite interesting. We saw the president and some of his aides taking part in the Saudi dance last night. Have you ever seen the president looking so happy?"
CLEMONS: "Only when he’s adored. Adored and celebrated. What you saw yesterday was fascinating to watch this. It was a kind of seduction of President Trump by the Saudis. All of the pomp and circumstance, all of the adulation. We know that president si si of Egypt said he was a leader among leaders. He overcame historic odds. These kinds of things played at President Trump’s vanity and he’s loving every moment of it."
