At least he didn’t try to pull the King off his feet like he does to everyone else.
Shows who has the upper hand between those two.
Or anyone who has seen the video. He didn’t bow when meeting him, no. He did bow after bending over to take this fancy new medal. We can SEE this, and yet you call people deranged loons for seeing what is right in front of us.
And honestly why did he tweet in 2015 about how Mrs. Obama didn’t wear a headscarf (as a show of respect) but Melania isn’t wearing one now? What’s up with that?
Nor is Ivanka, for that matter.
Do we gave such a video to offer in evidence, one of Trump’s first meeting with the King?
Fuck it, either way or both. A gesture of protocol is not a gesture of subservience. Granted, if George Washington had bowed to George 3, that might have some echoes, but does anyone doubt that Ben Franklin bowed to the King of France when he was begging the French to save our butts?
We preserve protocol for reasons, some of which are silly. We observe high level dignified protocol for the President of Bongo Bongo, as if anyone gave a rat’s. Protocol preserves us from the risk of unintentional insult. Hypocrisy is the moral hazard of the diplomat, as violence is the moral hazard of the soldier. In either case, if you’re not willing to do it, don’t sign up.
Not when the chief twit does it, I guess.
What a pathetic little shit-eating toad you are. Trump clearly dips his head at 0:45 inthis video after receiving the medal. That was not part of his dipping his head to receive the medal.
Personally, I didn’t consider it a big deal (or any kind of deal) if Obama bowed, or if Trump made a bow. But to contend Trump didn’t make such a gesture just attests to your selective blindness.
There is a level of stupidity that is hard to believe. It can be described as: “Dumb enough to be fooled by Donald Trump”. Okrahoma, it is not a badge of honor.
Okrahoma makes Jeffrey Lord look like William F. Buckley.
Ouch.
It’s one step dumber than turkeys drowning in the rain from looking up with their mouths open.
Okrahoma, stay out of the rain.
The difference is that when Obama did it, it was to demonstrate loyalty to his Muslim overlords, because he was born in Kenya yanno.
Yes, if you looked for it for 10 seconds you would have found it.
What a bunch of liberal deranged morons. Is Trump hatred giving you ulcers?
Whereas Trump was demonstrating loyalty to Tillerson’s *petroleum *overlords. Totally different.
Like the video in which Trump bows.
Come on people, starve the troll.
On the contrary. I don’t recall the last time hating someone so much gave me so much joy and endless entertainment. I get up every morning and literally race downstairs to see what that incompetent orange buffoon twatted at CNN et al.
Well then it’s a win-win. Because it is endlessly entertaining to see the impotent sputtering coming from liberal morons (and it will be hilarious to watch the heads 'sploding when in the end it will come to nothing). Trump is good for everyone.
What it boils down to for the Trumpster lunatics is:
When Obama make a formal gesture of respect to the Saudi King, that was an abomination. When Trump did the same thing, it never happened.
Reality does not enter into it. They simply believe what they wish happened.
That’s all it is. No sane person gives a shit if Obama or Trump bowed or curtsied to the king. Who gives a fuck except partisan lunatics?
