When on June 4 2009, Barack Obama addressed the Muslim world from Cairo he talked about mutual respect and sought "a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world."

He quoted the Koran saying, "Be conscious of God and speak always the truth." He drew from personal experiences as a member of a Kenyan Muslim family and from his work in Indonesia and Chicago. He talked of Islam's contribution to learning and innovation and of its role in America's history.

Barack Hussein Obama's message to the Muslim world was clear: Islam is a part of America.

Donald Trump in his address to Muslim nations in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia took a noticeably different stance. His attention was on the leaders of the Muslim world not their people. He wasn't appealing for reconciliation between members of two faiths but instead talked of a coalition of nations.

Trump seemed eager to prove his credentials. He mentioned creating jobs in America and of record investments in military.

He boasted of deals worth $400 billion between the two nations which includes a $110 billion Saudi-funded defense purchase. Trump also assured- much like a car salesman- that he will help his "Saudi friends to get a good deal from our great American defense companies."

If Obama spoke like a humanitarian, Trump spoke like a businessman and a politician. Trump's lasting quote is in keeping with the tone and tenor of his election campaign.

Drive. Them. Out.

DRIVE THEM OUT of your places of worship.

DRIVE THEM OUT of your communities.

DRIVE THEM OUT of your holy land, and

DRIVE THEM OUT OF THIS EARTH.

Trump promised a Muslim ban if he became President, and went on record with false claims of Muslims in New Jersey celebrating the 9/11 attack. Since taking charge as President, Trump has cut down on such rhetoric- though he did try to push through a travel ban on Muslims.

Even as he battles the "worst political witch hunt in history", Trump's speech in the Land of the Holy Mosques made it clear that for him foreign policy was about give and take.

In Saudi Arabia, Donald Trump was in his element. How he would love to run America like a king! With no internal investigations or even elections, to worry about! Wearing a gold medallion and dancing with a sword in his hand, Trump looked every bit a political tourist who was just visiting for the pictures. He wasn't there to make friends or build ties. He was there to make money. He was also there to lecture the Muslim world and to warn them to set their affairs in order. Don't expect America to clean up your mess! While Obama spoke about America's role in the middle east in an almost apologetic tone, Trump made it clear that what America did was beyond question.

"Our friends will never question our support, and our enemies will never doubt our determination. "

Saudi Arabia prepared for Donald Trump’s visit with Harley Davidson rallies. It offered him an audience that was ready to accept the American way. For Trump, it was the perfect stage to deliver his “America first” message to the world.
