From Green Eagle:
Do you remember the last eight years of right wing smear merchants screaming about Obama bowing to the Saudi King, because the much taller Obama leaned over to shake hands with him? Well, I hope to hell that we see this picture every day until Trump is dead:
Good God. Trump bent over to facilitate his receiving the necklace. It was not meant as a bow to a foreign leader.
Go back and find something real to criticize Trump over. God knows there are myriads of things. (FAR more than two.)
Yes, just as Obama, being taller than the Saudi king, “leaned over to shake hands with him”, as Green Eagle says. And the wingnuts went apeshit. Now that Trump has been seen in an equivalent situation, those same wingnuts are silent. The point is not that Trump was actually bowing, any more than Obama was — Green knows that. The point is that it’s yet another example of right-wing hypocrisy.
I thought that was pretty clear in the article. It’s too bad so many people are too intentionally obtuse to admit it. Sad.
I really don’t care, but Obama isn’t so much taller that the much more considerable bow here is necessary:

So, I don’t think that it’s fair to Trump to compare the two scenes.
