Well let's be fair. There have been plenty of administration both democrat and republican willing to support Saudi Arabia. Whether it be for oil. Or to check Iran's power.

Only reason why I'm not for making money off Saudi Arabia in this case....is because Longer term I don't trust them not to somehow get us involved in another Middle East mess. Whether that be with Iran. Or Yemen. Or terrorists influenced by a madrasah in that country.

Time to walk away. And the the Middle East handle it's own affairs.

No, it never stops. They have nothing of substance, so they lower themselves to the daily horse poop they spread in their party's honor, the Democratic Party of horse poopy!

No, he did not curtsy. Do those saying this have a clue what a curtsy is:

Would it have mattered? The Dems would have distorted anything that Trump does in their desperation as their resistance is dying.

I don't think they know what a curtsy is. I have noticed they are unfamiliar with a lot of the words they use.

You can't make these things up!
Parkinson's and alcoholism do not equate to a brief illness. She wasn't too old, she was morally, mentally and physically incompetent. Dems need to grasp the reality or continue to fail in future elections.

The names you all called her because she was ill ...

No shame. No shame at all.
As above, Parkinson's and alcoholism do not equate to sick for two days.

Kissing on the mouth and holding hands? Possibly, but that is not OUR culture. I don't see foreigners foregoing their cultural behaviors when visiting the US. Everyone should act within their own cultural norms.

He Didn't Bow.

A bow is only for men. It is much less submissive than a curtsy, which is reserved for women only.

He Didn't Curtsy.

Trump not only looked like and idiot; the curtsy made him a girlie idiot to a group of men who prize masculinity over everything in their lives.

Do you have something against men who aren't as masculine as other men?

These symbolic gestures may not be important in America, but they are in the rest of the world, especially in the Middle East, where the slightest sign of submission can be enough to start a war of opportunity. These gestures have been used for 1,000 years and are a very important means of indicating one leader's relative power to another leader.

I'm thinking that a country's economic strength & military strength & it's leader's willingness to use them.....is a more "important means of indicating one leader's relative power to another".

It's a polite gesture, indicating one guy won't fight the other to the death just now. When a bow wasn't reciprocated by the other guy, the swords instantly came out for centuries, and a duel commenced. Royalty didn't mess around, so the politeness was very carefully orchestrated.

Who cares.

A bow is replied in the same degree the first was given. That meant there wold be no fighting this day. Equals were meeting in peace. The first indicated the level of respect, and the second replied in kind. That's the tradition behind it all.

Who cares.

All Trump had to do was watch the others who bowed to the King first. His mind was probably on Twitter. If he was smart, he would have had an Ambassador teach him how to do a correct bow in about 2 minutes before meeting with any of that bunch.

Why? He didn't "Bow".

The Saudi princes now know they have a wimpy, womanish President to deal with, and he will get no respect from them in their future thoughts now. Trump not only gave them the wrong signal- it was the worst possible.
Yeah right. He just made a 110 Billion dollar sale. & He just bombed a country (who stepped out of line) just 200 miles north of there. (Syria) That's the signal.

& it's nice to hear the left showing concern that Trump is showing too much of his gentler, womanish side. HA !!

the OP is exactly the journalistic savagery and charccter assassination the country sees the media and dems using to attack trump on a endless cycle.


This obvious distortion of fact is what makes the hijacked dem party irrelevant and shunned. their hope for a futrue is down the tubes with their unethical behavior.

He didn't curtsy.

"Washington" is a scandal? The state? The District of Columbia? Why are these places scandalous?
