He went for the full bow with a little curtsy flourish at the end.

Too bad he didn't go in and grab a full foot kiss... Trump boasts
so proudly about about his prowess at such things.

Awarded in a ceremony in the WH, I believe there is a latch so that the receiver's head doesn't have to be bowed to have it placed around the neck.

I wonder what trumpies' fans think of this?

He buckled under the weight of the medal.

He did not need to curtsy to get have the Saudi despot to clear his head with the gold bauble; that was already around his neck when he dropped at the knees in a curtsy.

This looks like pure gold. I know they claimed it was an award....but...it seems to be more than a symbol of just a honor piece.
