In 2015, businessman Donald Trump humiliated First Lady Michelle Obama for not wearing a hijab during his trip to Saudi Arabia. Two and a half years later, First Lady Melania Trump also chose not to cover her head when visiting conservative Arab countries
Trump’s perception of what women should wear when visiting the Kingdom is also developing.
In January 2015, then-entrepreneur Donald Trump criticized First Lady Michelle Obama for not having a headscarf during her visit to Saudi Arabia.
“Many people say Mrs. Obama refuses to wear a scarf in Saudi Arabia, but it’s great that they are being insulted,” Trump tweeted at the time. “We have enemies.”
Republican First Lady Laura Bush also found hair during her visit to Saudi Arabia during her last administration.
Six months after the tweet, Trump will officially push himself into the political world – announcing his intention to run for the White House in 2016.
After being elected, Trump announced that Saudi Arabia would be the first country he would visit – doing so in May 2017.

When she arrived at Andrews, the first lady wore an edgy bright orange leather dress, a fitted white top and a high-altitude nude Manos.
She did not stay in that dress when she and the President landed in Riyadh.
