How did social media react?
People had a lot to say. While some were elated, others criticised it. A few also reacted with hilarity.
An individual wrote, “This is cool.. One of the most significant things to emphasise about Trump's welcome was the purple carpet rolled out for POTUS. It signifies royalty in Saudi Arabia. That is a true sign of respect.” Another added, “‘McFlurries for foreign policy.”
