The Washington Post did some digging, and to be fair, it gave context to the ‘American presidents do not bow to foreign leaders’ controversy. President Donald Trump did not bow, as the Left and liberal media alleged, but dipped his head so he could receive a Saudi Arabian civilian medal from Saudi Arabia’s King Salman. […]

In what some described as a “futile” trip, the president met with Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and […]
