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:

Good riddance to the Muslim Boy King.

Long live our Patriotic President.

Your dang fracking right he didn’t bow. A free person never gives obeisance to a tyrant no matter how benign they appear. Plus now we have more oil than they do.

This bears repeating and shouting:

The King bowed to our President.

HOW can it be a tradition if only one (doofus) president has done it?

American Presidents should not bow.

To anyone.

Obama made me sick with all his bowing.

You ought to see what people are posting on Facebook...how Ivanka and Melania did not wear headscarves, how POTUS criticized the Obama’s when they went, etc.

I politely linked an article which stated they were NOT required to wear a headscarf!

I am sure I will get flack about that.

Either people like Trump or they hate him with a passion.

Most important :

The king shook hands with both Melania and Ivanka and looked both in the eye while doing so. Both women came into the royal Court and were seated with the Princes’. There were many smiles and at least one shared laughed between the women and their hosts. Very relaxed conversation

Yes the gentlemen seemed to be completely taken by our gracious beautiful FLOTUS and FDOTUS

“This bears repeating and shouting:

No he didn’t. The King is 80, uses a cane, and is stooped with age. The King, like Trump, bows to no one. Only jerk face Obama bows to Muzzies, because he secretly is one.

Obama is a fool. He's low class and has no idea how to behave in public. For the first half of his worthless life he didn't even know the napkin on the table went into his lap. He'd just wipe his fingers on the napkin on the table.

(If that's not accurate, it should be)

Regardless, that buffoon bowed to kings because he's so low class and stupid as to not know how to conduct himself in public. That whole family. What an incredibly obscene joke.

” he broke from Obama by not bowing...”

Obama broke from 200+ years of precedent that United States Presidents do not bow to foreign leaders.

"...would have been funny if they'd rolled in a little stairway for the King to climb up on instead."

I heard they loaned it to Clinton crony Robert Reich, and he hasn't returned it yet.

It is a dream of mine that Trump presents the muslim Vomit-slime king with something positively American, with a message.

Like a nice Turnbull TAR-10 with American Flag inscriptions, and have the limited edition numbers proudly displayed on the receiver : “#027 of 200”

4 messages sent to Saudi Arabia, all in one pleasant and high quality gift.

I don’t even get why the fuck OUR President should be accepting a medal from a second-rate raghead king.

They have nothing of honor to bestow upon him.

“Bowing” is a figure of speech, to stress the difference between O insect and President Trump. The king obviously is ecstatic about Trump honoring him with this visit:
