Did Trump just curtsy to the King of the country that sent hijackers?

Yes, the traitor actually curtsied.

[Kingofalldems]

1. What excuse will the Deplorables have for this one?

[DefenseLawyer]

3. Fake news.

That's their go-to answer for everything. Even visual evidence they can actually see.

[dalton99a]

6. "But this is different"

is another BS answer - along with "I'm sure that's not what he meant," "he's not really like that," etc.

[Bigredhunk]

15. Ha!

They'll just deflect to something HRC/Obama did when s/he was in middle school like usual.

[Alice11111]

52. Exactly.No matter what they see &hear, it's fake news, what Bill Clinton did, leftwing media,

Obama's fault. It is like a a bizarre mental disease, from brainwashing. Too much RW radio and TV.. They mostly don't know what is really going on in the world, because their news sources just make up BS. The Trumpsters still believe the Clintons killed Vance Foster and 20 other people.

2. Stop the clock! So he went about 20 hours with looking like a dumbass?

[Brother Buzz]

5. I lost my pool

I had he pegged to blow it coming down the stairs of AF1

8. Get back in the game. Take this poll.

21. But, but, but... they gave him a gold chain!

He'd get down and lick their feet if they gave him enough cash.

[kysrsoze]

9. They're moving on him like a bitch.

[uponit7771]

10. Yes, Red Don bent at the knees instead of at the waist ... Sigh

[cyclonefence]

11. Oh come on, you guys

Trump is bending over so the Saudi guy can put his necklace on him. We weaken our position when we embrace silly nonsense like this.

I'm sure the original tweet was meant as a joke--and it is funny--but I get the feeling people are running with this.

And please forgive me if I'm being Captain Obvious about it; I'm an old lady and slow on the uptake.

[retrowire]

17. This this this so fucking much. Nt

[nini]

18. That's how I saw it too

and it pains me to even seem like I'm defending that moron.

[nini]

48. Ok.. I saw a different angle on this and yep it looks like he did

The worst thing is he didn't know what the hell to do because he has no clue on protocol, manners, common sense..etc etc etc..

what an embarrassment.

[MichMary]

55. *sigh*

I try to see things from different sides, so I read different things. I read the comments when Michelle Obama hugged Queen Elizabeth--serious breach of protocol. Or, when PBO talked over the British national anthem.

I loathe Trump, removal from office isn't good enough. But--I'm going to give him a pass on things like bending over (awkwardly) so that a much shorter man can hang a medal around his neck.

[nini]

57. I understand that

He's done far worse things to be blasted for.

[MichMary]

58. Agreed.

We need to pick our battles. This one, Melania's belt, etc. Meh. Stick to the big issues that we have a great chance of winning, and we will look less petty.

[uponit7771]

19. No... no, we have the DUTY to show hypocrisy in the faces of overt hypocrites.. Even if its us thats

... how some people would learn grace.

[colorado_ufo]

20. Yes - the s.o.b. is tall.

He is also 70 years old and in lousy shape. He just had a 19 hour plane ride and quite possibly has back trouble..

Come on guys we have bigger fish to fry.

[Boomerproud]

24. See Post #7

That is what we're pointing out.

[SunSeeker]

25. Look at the tape a little more closely. He bends over THEN curtsied.

Sure, he bent over for the Saudi despot to adorn him with the gold medal, but AFTER it was placed on his neck, he dropped lower, i.e. CURTSIED. That second drop was clearly not necessary to get the medal on. It was obviously already on. And it was not a further bending at the waist--his whole body dropped at the knee--it was a curtsy. It appeared to be his show of appreciation to the despot for the gold bauble.

[HuskyOffset]

42. Is it possible

that he was going down on his left knee and just had a spot of trouble getting back up? It's kind of hard to tell exactly what position his legs are in from that video.

[SunSeeker]

43. Amazing how much some people want to defend Trump and give him every benefit of the doubt.

Wish Obama got that same benefit of the doubt. Obama actually deserved it, unlike Trump.

There are other angles shown in other videos in this thread. It was clearly a curtsy after getting the medal.

[cyclonefence]

44. How dare you

imply that I "want to defend Trump"? Jesus fucking shit, what's the matter with you? I'm here because I'm a red-hot Democrat, and who the hell are you to cast aspersions on my liberal Trump-hating cred?

[SunSeeker]

45. Just pointing out what I see in this thread.

I have no idea who you are. This is an anonymous discussion board.

[Kingofalldems]

29. And then he curtsied.

[Motley13]

12. Men bow, women curtsy

curtsy
[kurt-see]

Word Origin

See more synonyms on Thesaurus.com
noun, plural curtsies.
1.
a respectful bow made by women and girls, consisting of bending the knees and lowering the body.

If that is the worse he will do, we are lucky.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

16. Exactly! Wonder who advised him to curtsy. Either a dumbass or someone trying to "shank" Trump.

They must be laughing their asses off in England and other countries where they have royalty. This is a huge faux pas.

[shadowmayor]

13. Bow down

I remember the white right wing and fox noise screaming about Obama bowing to foreign leaders. Used to send them all pictures of lil' bush holding hands with Prince Bandar. Get ready for the silent hypocrisy.

[progressoid]

30. Yeah, they lost their shit over Obama doing it.

I'll not hold my breath for their condemnation of 45.

[demmiblue]

14. No. n/t

[BamaRefugee]

22. Wow. That second guy that circles around behind Trump

THUMPED him on the head! That's no gentle push, no love tap...

[notdarkyet]

23. Are they holding hands yet?

[Else You Are Mad]

26. Remember when Obama...

bowed to, I believe, the leader or China and the right lost it's collective shit?

I bet the conservatives will spin this to say that it shows Trump being strong!

[Skidmore]

28. He got bling on the first date. nt

[SunSeeker]

31. Yup, he bent over, then curtsied after he got the medal. He'll do anything for gold. nt

[Kingofalldems]

32. To the people that jumped in to defend Trump:

Here's Fox on Obama.

33. Yup. Trump CURTSIED to the despot AFTER he put the medal on his neck.

That was a total show of fealty.

38. Exactly.

47. So Fox is full of shit?

Wow..I'm surprised!

35. LOL, he DID curtsy.

What a geekazoid. Geez.

[bigtree]

36. priceless

[samnsara]

37. to me it looks like a guy bending over to get the medal..but...

...who has a hard time getting back up because of bad knees..thus the help from behind..

[SunSeeker]

39. When he bent over for the medal, he bent at the waist, his knees weren't involved.

He dropped his whole body lower at the knee AFTER he got the medal, i.e. he curstied, in response to getting the medal from the Saudi despot.

[OldRedneck]

40. Did he really go down on his knees?

Trump is begging the Saudis to invest in US business so he can crow about what a deal he made. I thought I saw him drop to both knees.

[lpbk2713]

41. "We know you're a fool."

"Let's see how much shit we can pull on you."

51. That's STILL their headline on their website! Unfuckingbelievable!

I just check now.

[Cha]

54. FAKEfox "news".. brainwash the idiots and they

rake in the dough.

Must protect the idiotrump.. Never let them see what a freaking curtsying moron he is.

[SunSeeker]

50. Fox's headline is still "Trump shakes hands with Saudi leader, doesn't bow as Obama appeared to do"

And of course they don't show the video of Trump's medal ceremony bow and curtsy, they just show a still picture of Trump at the airport.

[Warpy]

53. Worse, he's going to lecture them on Islam

I'm terrified when I wake up tomorrow that we'll be at war with the whole Islamic world.

Asshole is just about capable of it.
