Sponsored by Revcontent GREAT AGAIN: Unlike Obama, Trump doesn’t bow to Saudi king. Note Flotus, no hijab and a handshake
What a difference an election can make for the respect American leaders have for our country.

All eyes were on President Trump today as he arrived in the country for his first foreign trip.
Video shows the president stepping off the plane and greeting King Salman:
Trump stood up straight as Salman appeared to bow slightly.
Trump’s posture stands in stark difference to President Obama’s in the early days of his presidency.
Cameras captured Obama bowing to King Abdullah, contorting nearly to a 90-degree angle in what many called a moment of American weakness:
Trump’s behavior was refreshingly noticeable, as several Twitter users contrasted the two reactions.
“Look carefully at these two photos,” recording artist Vinnie James wrote. “The one on the RIGHT is a lesson in American exceptionalism: @FLOTUS no hijab, @POTUS no kowtow.”
