Source? I thought it was Obama who bowed to kings.

People made a lot more fuss about Obama because, you know, "Barack Hussein Obama", etc. Trump was seen doing it too.


If so, then you singling out W seems... a bit slanted.

But if those three did, then did earlier presidents, and they just weren't documented? Or weren't made a big deal of when they did?


W did it first. So, no, citing W doing it first is not "slanted".

Instead, claiming that Obama and Trump also violating their public trust makes my observation "slanted" is actively dishonest: I said that W did it first, and W did it first. Period.

HW, not W. And maybe others before; HW is just the first I found a reference to. (Also Clinton.)

So it seems to have happened a lot more than I thought...


Bowing to someone who bows back is just a greeting.
