At least he didn’t kiss him or hold hands.

No, he bowed -- an act of submission.

Correct. This isn't at all like the Japanese custom of bowing, where both parties bow to each other - almost identical to a handshake in western culture.

In the middle east, bowing takes on an ENTIRELY different connotation. Barry's not unfamiliar with Arab and Muslim customs. This was intentional.

Maybe he thinks if he bows the Taliban won’t attack the White House like the said they would this week. Kissing a** to save himself, as if the Taliban give a sh*t.
