Even without alcohol (presumably, since it’s against the rules there), the Saudis sure know how to throw a party.
On Saturday, several Trump cabinet members, including Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross were shown on Saudi Arabia’s HOST TV dancing and talking with their Saudi counterparts at Riyadh’s Murabba Palace.
Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and White House strategist Steve Bannon were seen talking with Saudi officials, and Tillerson and Ross were even doing some sort of line dance … with swords.
Because let’s face it, anything is cooler when swords are involved.

When he arrived later, even President Trump got in on the action, sans sword, according to CNN’s Jim Acosta.

According to Fox News, many of the U.S. officials posed for selfies with people at the party.

Since he’s a well-known abstainer, President Trump didn’t miss the alcohol, but alcohol or not, he’s never been afraid of doing a little jig… Remember this?
