https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/autocrats-hear-a-clear-message-during-trump-trip-us-will-not-lecture-on-human-rights/2017/05/22/1c7328b4-3f0c-11e7-8c25-44d09ff5a4a8_story.htmlIn search of bigger deals on combating terrorism and curbing Irans influence in the region, Trump made it clear during his weekend speech in Saudi Arabia that the United States would not allow human rights concerns to bog down cooperation with authoritarian governments.
We are not here to lecture, Trump said Sunday before an audience of about 50 political leaders of Muslim nations, many of which are lead by strongmen. We are not here to tell other people how to live, what to do, who to be or how to worship. Instead, we are here to offer partnership, based on shared interests and values.

Amazing, ...
since they do not extend such freedom
from government influence
to the residents of the USA.
They have no problem mandating that:
Marriage can only be between 2 persons of opposite gender
Birth gender determines public restroom assignment
Everyone must be heterosexual
sexual reproduction is not to be inhibited
All should Worship only JC & Trinity
White evangelicals are superior
Only pro-government speech is allowed
Accept government actions and statements without question
Voting is a privilege for the privileged
Society should not prohibit Socio-economic Oppression and discrimination
Etc..........,,,,,,,,
