Don’t need to try again. He prostrated himself - bowed low.

363

Okay, I guess you’re a visual learner

#6 (could make an argument for 4 or 5) is what it looks like to be prostrated.
#2 is Obama

364

Prostrate is commonly used as a synonym for “bowing low”. I don’t see the point in arguing over the angle of his bow.

365

Anyway, why are you arguing over the torso’s flexion angle when accepting a reward? Is that 20 degree difference sticking it to the Saudis? MAGA!!!

Both of them (and Dubya) accepted the same award.

366

Lmao, you’re the one who started talking about the angles of their bows. All I did was send a picture of Trump.

367

Trump didn’t bow. He leaned forward to accept award just like a sportsman does when presented with a medal.

368

Here you go talking about the angles again. It’s FAKE NEWS

369

Also, no. It’s commonly misused by people who don’t know what it means.

“Bow low” not in the sense of what Obama is doing. Again, you’re dodging the point and making an issue out of a non-issue.

372

Obama didn’t bow low? Looks like he did to me.

373

Here, I found a picture of a White guy so maybe you can learn a little easier.

This is the “bow low” that prostrate can be used to describe.

And, again, the angle of the bow is hardly the point of me sharing that picture. Idk why you continue this pointless issue. Trying to make Trump look more defiant than Obama was when they’re both accepting the same award? This is how Trump’s body language is with everyone, not just muslims.

375

Obama wasn’t accepting an award. He was bowing to the Saudi king just like he did with the Japanese Emperor.

376

Ah yes, showing deference by practicing cultural norms of respect in other countries is such a sign of weakness.

It’s a shame Muslims don’t adopt our cultural norms when they migrate here.

And that has anything to do with Obama bowing? A simple cultural practice equates to groveling? Prostration?

You lose so much credibility by making issues out of nothing. It’s (one of many reasons) why liberals have lost clout. Why emulate such behavior?

I don’t think it’s nothing. Actions like these speak volumes and are telling of the mindsets of the people doing it.

Yes, but to break it down to groveling vs defiance is an oversimplification that is agenda-driven.
