President Trump receives honor at Saudi royal palace on his 1st foreign trip

[ABX]

Not really a big deal, Obama received the same medal. Before anyone throws out the title of nobility clause in the Constitution, Congress did authorize symbolic things like this.

... Trump was also presented with the Collar of Abdulaziz Al Saud, the Saudi nation's highest honor.

After the award was bestowed, the president and king spoke briefly.

Their conversation at one point touched on Syria, with King Salman heard noting that the now war-torn country used to be an advanced nation and pondering how quickly a country can be destroyed. ....

Theresa May and David Cameron have also been granted the collar. Neither Gordon Brown nor Tony Blair were - which is rather pleasing to me.

He always did.  That's just those shifty, squinty Clinton eyes, probably.  Then again.... could be the coke. 

Interesting bit on past presidents' supposed use or non-use of stimulants.   If we knew the real extent of that usage ..... cause this sounds like BS to me....

As a point of protocol - that's not a bow. His knees are bent.

Don't they teach you lot anything in school?

   The Saudi Prince behind him appears to be putting a press supplied sticker on his back.

There must be a big difference but I'm unable to see it.

   It's a conspiracy, The King does not have arthritis in his shoulders, this is just an excuse to get everyone to bow before him to receive their Bling, Someone needs to get this a$$ a gold plated step stool.

Americans don't really know much about bowing, it is not in our nature.. except church and we bend our knees there.

   We don't bow to nobody over here, if the women aint impressed by the size of my belt buckle or truck, there's always other sheep in the pasture to dance with.

To me it looks more like he is stooping to make it easier for the king to put the award around his neck. It seems like every president has received one but Trump may be the only POTUS to actually have it framed and hung on the wall:)
