President Donald Trump visited Japanese Emperor Akihito, but did not bow after greeting him at his palace.
That was a contrast to former President Barack Obama’s visit, when he drew criticism for a “deep bow” to the foreign dignitary.
Trump shook the hand of the Emperor and nodded his head slightly to signal respect. –Breitbart
I always thought Obama was checking out the other leader’s junk. Isn’t that what people like him base being a man on?
My thoughts exactly!
Obola was a ignorant jester. Shake hand or bow, not both.
Trump didn’t fall for the emperor’s “Your fly is open!” joke.
Obama was such a shameless suck-up. He was so desperate to convince the world that America does not stand apart that he humiliated himself — and in turn humiliated us.
I can’t tell you how good it is to see a President who is not afraid to exude confidence and pride in this country.
How about that. Trump didn’t bow, and was treated more respectfully and like a man than sissy boy Obama.
Go fig.
Obama had no class and he had piss poor advisers. He tried to toast Queen Elizabeth during the singing of God Save Our Queen, and she told him to shut up. What a total asshole.
ASIAN CULTURES It’s hierarchical. Your status depends on a few things:
a) Gender (male is highest)
b) Age (older = higher)
c) Status (Ambassador, CEO, President, etc is ascending)
d) MONEY (more money = more respect
e) Skin color (like it or not, lighter skin = more respect)
f) Height (taller = better, but not awkward crazy-tall, like 7′, because that is considered clownish)
DONALD TRUMP IS THE HIGHEST YOU CAN GET
On the Asian scale, an older wealthy, successful, 6’2″, billionaire CEO, white male CRUSHES IT.
Trump bows to no one. Head nod or a SLIGHT shoulder bow would be the most he would need to give, or none at all.
I thought President Trump’s speech yesterday to the South Korean National Assembly was absolutely awesome.
General Douglas MacArthur set the precedent.
An American bows or curtsies to NO foreign entity.
Obama wanted to show the world his cultural sophistication, but he only demonstrated what a clownish buffoon he was.
Despite the piece of shit media coverage, I think he’s doing pretty good on this trip!
