    Go a little past the 12 minute mark and you'll see how a respected and unapologetic president behaves with foreign leaders. There's no bowing, no head scarfs, and President Trump's wife is treated with respect. On top of that, I'm hearing our president may have closed a $110 billion dollar deal to sell the Saudis defensive weapons, that's a lot of jobs for the Americans who build them.

    Naturally, some one on the left will find something criminally treasonous about all this.

    Of course not, he goes to great lengths to hide that he's got hair plugs

    I prefer a president who doesn't bow, looks less submissive. Trump got a very regal reception too, massive red carpet, huge parade, jets in formation with colorful contrails, trumpets blaring and cannons firing. Makes the citizenry proud, causes the impression their nation's ruler is respected and admired, it's a good feeling.

    We do what customs require when abroad.
    As for headscarves...
    when I had a job offer in SA, one of the requirements was ( in writing, per my potential SA employers) to not go out in public at night without a male, not to wear shorts when in public, wear a head covering.
    So yeah, some places the request that you do.

    "Defensive weapons" like our cluster bombs? Donnie's signing (and you know he didn't read it because he can't read) will deal death and misery to many. Not that you or Donnie care.

    Defensive weapons such as an anti-missile to protect the Saudi's from Iranian missiles made with the money Obama gave them. And cluster bombs are exactly what you need to stop an army coming at you. But suddenly you seem to think Muslims are only capable of killing people...it's funny how that works.

    In SA, one of the things that irked me during the first Gulf war was how American women soldiers had to cover their arms and women officers couldn't be seen as giving orders to men.

    Hey, we've already talked about this. You can't say anything until you have at least 1/1000th of his net worth. Otherwise you still look like total "derper".

    How bout that time Bush gave the Saudis a big wet one? You know, the same president today's Trumpers were ecstatic about. Though today they are loathe to remember him at all. Exactly like they will be with Trump, soon enough. You know why? Because these people never learn... b24886acad9a_sf_8.jpg

    It was the early 90's. I told them "no thanks", btw.

    Fail. He appears to be bending down to have something (a medal of some sort?) put around his neck.

    Donnie didn't have to bend that low. What a waste of ornament.

    Are you just desperate for an argument? What do you want these diplomats to do - stand on a ladder so they can put medals on our presidents without our presidents bending over? That's asinine.

    Bending over to have a medal put around your neck is not the same thing as bowing.

    How many of these folks are getting a medal put around their neck. Do they need a ladder.

    By the way I don't need to bow down for you to put a medal around my neck.

    I can't clearly tell what any of them are doing. Bush looks like he's looking down at something hanging around his neck in one of the pictures, but really you can't make any judgments from these photographs. What are you doing, image searching for every time a president ever even looked down? (And do you have a point, or is it just "look they're all as bad as my hero Obama"?)

    Nah, Donnie bowed. He's learning to show deference, which is amazing for a lifetime bully and con artist.

    You would have come out better not posting anything. Talk about a hypocrite.

    I don't think that word means what you think it means, apparently.
