After two weeks of what one Washington Post writer calls “nearly unrelenting disaster of bad decisions and bad news,” Trump embarked on his first overseas trip as president to visit Saudi Arabia on Saturday. Some supporters and conservative websites exulted as soon as he stepped off the plane — quick to contrast it with a similar meeting at the start of Obama's presidency.

He did not bow to the king. Not right away, at least.

Obama's bent-waist handshake with King Abdullah caused one of the great furors of his first year as president.

Republicans ran a political ad about the bow in 2009; the White House press secretary unconvincingly denied it happened; and Trump was one of many who cited it years later as a symbol of Obama's weakness — “he begs and pleads and bows.”

1. He actually CURTSIED

No matter what the RW media claimed:

He's just “bending over,” one supported suggested.

“He's receiving an award.”

“More of a squat than a bow.”

It was more a curtsy. It looked stupid.
