Trump's first foreign tour and the spotlight on King Salman

Trump's middle east tour is going very well. Clearly had a great welcome in Saudi Arabia. But Trump's speech in Saudi Arabia was more like a lecture from a teacher who knew little about the subject.  For Trump the main focus was Islamic terrorism - a concept we do not even know is real. The people of Islam today face many conflicts. And we can sense that King Salman truly wants to bring peace.  Bring Homes to displaced families and bread to hungry children.   Trump's speech missed the mark in Saudi Arabia but everyone expects Trump to be on the side of peace. Some day Iran will also see the urgent need for peace and shake hands with King Salman.

It is also true that no one but Donald Trump can bring such optimism to the region in such trying times.
