Twitter has gone wild for a Saudi man who posted a newspaper advert congratulating Donald Trump on becoming American president.
#MuslatCongratulatesTrump trended on social media as amused Saudis shared the announcement placed by Saudi businessman Muslat al-Sobaie in his local paper, Al-Jazeera.
The statement, which was accompanied by a full-page image of Trump, read: “I congratulate Your Excellency on the occasion of assuming the leadership of the US and wish you and the friendly American people every success and prosperity during your term.”
It is safe to say the move tickled Saudi Twitter users:
