Trump curtsies for the King: Donald is mocked for crouching 'like a sparkly princess' in front of Saudi royal after being given the country's highest civilian honor despite slamming Obama for bowing to him in 2009
- Trump gave a slight curtsy for King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud on Saturday
- He was savaged immediately on Twitter for appearing to bow down to the Saudi royal
- It was made worse by his condemnation of Barack Obama for bowing to King Abdullah in 2009
- The president is in Riyadh undertaking his first foreign tour since taking office
- Trump's fans said he was merely crouching down to allow the shorter, older King to place the medal around his neck without having to strain himself
Donald Trump gave a shy curtsy as he was awarded a medal by Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud on Saturday, sending his savage Twitter critics in to overdrive.
The president is in Riyadh for the first day of his inaugural overseas trip and how he greets his royal hosts has been a source of entertainment and debate.
After earlier shaking King Salman's hand, Trump lost his towering figure when it came to accepting the Collar of Abdulaziz Al Saud, the country's highest civilian honor which has been bestowed on presidents before him, at the Royal Court.
Instead of bowing, he gave an ever-so-slight bend of the knees once the ornate medallion was round his neck. Whether it was a deliberate curtsy or not is already being disputed but whatever Trump's intention, it has sparked wild back-and-forth between his critics and fans.
Two simultaneous strains of ridicule emerged from his naysayers. One focused on his poor grasp of etiquette and the begged the more serious question of whether the curtsy was a sign of his willingness to bow down to deep-pocketed Arabs during his first trip overseas as president.
Trump's supporters insisted that the gesture was made so that the older, shorter King would not have to strain himself when placing the medal around his neck.

Their attempts to play it down were met with even more laughter from Trump critics.
'I think 2016 Trump would be embarrassed by 2017 Trump doing a curtsy,' said one.
'Did I just watch the President of the United States of America curtsy to the Saudi King? What was that?' another quipped.

THE CRIME DUAL OF
HILLARY & BILLARY, THE “HOPE & CHANGE”
HUCKSTER OBAMA
"But the Clintons personify this corruption just as much as
Trump, even if they made use of a different mechanism and on a somewhat smaller
scale. They amassed a fortune exceeding $150 million in the decade after Bill
Clinton left the White House, mainly through six-figure fees for addressing
corporate and Wall Street audiences. Barack Obama will shortly take a similar
path, reaping his reward from the financial aristocracy whose interests he
safeguarded so assiduously over the past eight years."
