During Donald Trump’s first visit to Saudi Arabia since taking office, many noticed that President Trump didn’t bow to the Saudi King like Obama did.
In 2009, then President Obama made a point to bow to Saudi King Salman.
However, as President Trump shook hands with the Saudi King after arriving Saturday morning, he broke from Obama by not bowing:

I recognize lawful authority and superior rank based on merit and accomplishment and defer to that authority or superior rank.
But I do not bow, curtsy or grovel in any way to any man or woman.
I do not recognize royalty or "blue" blood.
I will die before I submit to any man or woman based on an accident of their birth.
Period.

“Why would you pass along such sorceless and fake news....?”
I was trying to show how absolute absurdity passes as real news these days...
We had a REAL first lady.
Hey he knew about arugula! /sarc
NO AMERICAN bows to any person; head of state or not.
Americans ONLY BOW TO GOD.....
Dang! He’s only been there one day and he’s already won a medal!
I won’t repost your comment since it breaks FR rules....
Trump accepted a medal from the King because he is their guest of honor and not an asshole...
What the Hell? I don’t think Obama had been sworn in yet and he got the Nobel Peace Prize. (Then proceeded to bomb seven countries and keep us at war for eight years).
I’d like to see Melania with bare arms and shoulders, lots of cleavage, skirts five inches above the knee, etc.
FR rules don’t always allow the truth to be spoken.
President Trump had a Royal welcome while Obama had a camel crap on his shoes.
Anyway you look at it, I don’t care for (i)slam and the people who believe in this..... you can insert words of your own choosing. But this doesn’t mean that the Saudis are dumb and they can tell the difference between a boy wonder and someone who knows what he is talking about. Unfortunately a good portion of Americans are too dumb and ignorant to realize how fortunate we are to have some one like Trump for president. I do believe he has the best interest of the US in mind, what could not be said about his predecessor.
