Trump signs largest arms deal in American history with Saudi Arabia despite warnings from human rights advocates that the deal risks making the US complicit in war crimes committed by the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen.

I wonder if people realize we've been supporting Saudi Arabia long before Trump. Hilary was also infamous for her speeches there, and the money she took from them. Obama, before Trump, was the previous record holder for largest deal to the Saudis. Obama sold more weapons to the Saudis, and Middle East than both Bushes Combined.

Why am I saying this? Am I pro Trump? No. He's my least favorite president ever. The point is, this has little to nothing to do with Trump. If you want to criticize a "group", or "person" for supporting the Saudis, it would be the whole US gov't, both parties included.

If you don't want to support the Saudis, there is no "option" for you in America. No major party holds that platform.

This is what people talk about, when they say both parties are just as bad. 90% of the platform they don't talk about(banking, weapons, mass surveillence, civil liberties), and agree on. The remaining 10% of problems, that the banks/investors don't care about, they make a big deal out of... because they don't care.

It's purposeful division. All of this "blame everything on Trump" nonsense is playing into their hands, just like when it was "blame everything on Obama", for 8 years.
