He bobs on his way back up. That's supposed to be a fucking curtsy? He's a fat old dude, he lacks the grace and poise to do it properly even if he wanted to.
They do to me. By "joke" I guess I more mean "making fun of someone". I.e. they know he didn't literally decide to curtsy, but they're -- laughing? Feeling smug? -- about the fact that he looked like he did.
Do you think you worthless liberal cocksuckers can stop being passive-aggressive for one fucking day? Do you think you can handle that? Take responsibility for your dumb bullshit for the length of one day?
Everything you do you claim the "just pretending to be retarded" defense.
I saw the videos of him curtseying to the King way before this story popped up on here. Shareblue, who gives a shit. The video is all over the news and social media from many sources. Don't matter. You can deflect about sources all you want. Trump curtsied. It's not gonna change no matter who is hosting the video. Curtsying isn't a part of leaning back up after someone puts something on your neck. It's a choice. He did it, because despite all his hypocritical rantings against Obama and protocols, he wanted to show respect to the King and for some bizarre reason, thought that included curtysing, maybe from all the times he's seen women doing it to leaders and royalty. Who knows. Hey, kudos to Trump for not enforcing gender stereotypes and doing a feminine genuflection, eh? ;)
Then by all means. Post a video of what you're describing.
He was bowing to accept the medal... And then he curtsied.
It wouldn't even be a big deal if they hadn't ragged Obama for his own bow all these years. The thing is, Americans with no use for royalty and its pageantry don't know how to act around inbred hereditary rulers. It doesn't matter at all, but it's sure gonna be fun to remind the 'pedes about it for however long Trump is president.
I'll never get tired of absurdity of seemingly self-aware people rationalizing behaviour of someone as unpredictable and sneaky as Trump is.
It is not "rationalizing his behaviour" to point out that he's doing what you'd expect him to do from first principles. I agree with you fully that he's a hypocrite for getting buddy-buddy with the Saudis, but calling that a curtsy is a) absurd and b) falling into the trap of arguing about details that don't matter. The part that matters is that he's dealing with the Saudis, but the US Democrats are going to fail as usual to understand what they're mad about and instead try to drive some narrative about body language that just makes them look petty.
It's the reaction of a seventy year old man to regaining an upright posture. The idea it is some sort of pandering grovelling display shows how well the power of suggestion works.
Several months ago, anyone mentioning "shareblue" or other PACs were called nutbag right-wing basement dweeling conspiracy kooks. To imply that Shareblue at the time was responsible for any shilling or spreading of information any remotely significant number was considered insane bullshit.
Now they are responsible for a metric fuckton of posts spreading across this shitty website on a daily basis. They don't even hide it now, they link directly to shareblue's domain, when before they would use a subsidiary to conceal it.
What I don't get is, this is such a non issue. Who honestly gives a shit about such a small detail. If these super pacs are the resistance and whatever else these dumbfucks from /r/politics like to see themselves, why are they reporting on irrelevant shit like this?
It's really just about making sure major information centers are flooded with biased or false articles on a daily basis. The headlines are most important.
If you just say the same things over and over on a daily basis, people will begin to believe it's reality.

Except after the medal is around his neck he does a quick dip otherwise known as a curtsy.

TRUMP FUCKING CURTSIES HOLY SHIT THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY

n/a Elite_AI 2017-05-21
No one thinks he literally decided to curtsy it's a joke you fucking dongle
n/a zahlman 2017-05-21
The outlets reporting the story don't seem to think they're joking about it.
n/a Elite_AI 2017-05-21

Thank you for assuming I do not have a special snowflake ideology based around the smug punnings of an autistic German milkman.
n/a captainpriapism 2017-05-21
yeah its not really a joke though is it

Looks like Bannon picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines
n/a cuteman 2017-05-21
Lots of linking directly to Shareblue lately. Not even hiding it anymore.
n/a ricardogce 2017-05-21
The video is what it is, what does it matter who hosts it?
n/a cuteman 2017-05-21
Besides the fact that shareblue is literally, and I don't use the term lightly, cancer.
n/a captainpriapism 2017-05-21
shareblue is literal propaganda, its not news
if theyre posting it its probably wrong or misleading
david brock is a crazy faggot and nothing hes involved with should ever be taken seriously
n/a ricardogce 2017-05-21
Can you prove the video's doctored in any way? Every other site showing it has the exact same one.
n/a captainpriapism 2017-05-21
its less the video itself than the framing of it
you have a title here saying he curtsied lol, you think thats just objective reporting
and also if other better sources have the same video why the fuck would anyone post a david brock outlet
good way to get everyone to dismiss what youre claiming
n/a nanonan 2017-05-21
Nobody is saying the video is doctored. They are saying the claim he is bowing or curtseying is paid political propaganda, because it is.
n/a ricardogce 2017-05-21
Fuck, where's my check, then?
n/a nanonan 2017-05-21
Hah, the dupe thinks he's getting paid. You're the product, not the producer.
n/a ricardogce 2017-05-21
And I just got banned from r/t_d over this thread. Salty tattletales lol
n/a nanonan 2017-05-21
That's retarded. They are pretty ban happy over there but banned for talking shit in a drama thread is pathetic.
n/a cuteman 2017-05-21
Then by all means. Post a video of what you're describing.
Are we supposed to imagine it?
n/a zahlman 2017-05-21
Apparently this is the video, from elsewhere ITT.
Yeah, that doesn't look like a curtsy to me at all.
n/a bat_mayn 2017-05-21
Just looks like he loses balance, or has his knee cramp up. Either that, or he hesitates because he can't see the guy's hands in his periphery vision.
n/a captainpriapism 2017-05-21
people deliberately misinterpreting something trump did? in the media?!?!
n/a cuteman 2017-05-21
Yeah, that's idiotic. He's obviously leaning over.
n/a FitAndDumb 2017-05-21
Lol @ shariablue
n/a Chin_Up_Chick 2017-05-21
Why do they have that reminder about civil discussion in, like, all of their threads? It's stupid and nobody does that, not even the mods.
n/a t4779 2017-05-21
Should be some more drama tomorrow when we see him wearing a kippah with bibi at the wailing wall or wherever.
n/a ricardogce 2017-05-21
Breitbart will be bouncy for sure.
n/a captainpriapism 2017-05-21
i was under the impression that he specifically didnt invite netanyahu and also said that the wall was part of the west bank
n/a ricardogce 2017-05-21

It wouldn't even be a big deal if they hadn't ragged Obama for his own bow all these years.

n/a cruelandusual 2017-05-21
Wow, he actually curtsied. You know that man has sucked dick for real.
I guess Colbert's joke really was homophobic.
n/a Mabans 2017-05-21
Definately 100% didn't bow, Definately 100% curtsied. So much worse than if he had actually bowed. rofl
n/a zahlman 2017-05-21
You can't even see his legs in the video FFS.
n/a newcomer_ts 2017-05-21
He dipped.
It's the reaction not of a man but that of a pleaser hoping to extract personal benefit out of any encounter.
Here's a guy who winged through life and now shows what an empty douchebag he is.
As I said, people are sticking with him either out of spite or deep sense of empathy for an autist.
n/a zahlman 2017-05-21
Because businessmen and negotiators never make cost-free displays of deference for possible future gain, amirite.
n/a newcomer_ts 2017-05-21
Are we talking about the same guy who tweeted not even a year ago about Saudi daddy money corrupting Clintons?
I'll never get tired of absurdity of seemingly self-aware people rationalizing behaviour of someone as unpredictable and sneaky as Trump is.
Any time he will tweet "I curtsied, yes!", as is his tradition lately, to make his fans open their assholes even wider.
n/a zahlman 2017-05-21

Not shitposting, simply sharing some random Trump tweets. Not affiliated with either pro or anti Trump, it's a social experiment

He's 70?
n/a nanonan 2017-05-21
Yes. You now know an actual real fact about Donald Trump.

Only a truly spiteful person can have his head up his ass this deep.
n/a nanonan 2017-05-21
What the fuck are you babbling about you cretin?
n/a newcomer_ts 2017-05-21
I was making fun of your "old man" argument. Everyone knows how old Trump is, you unironic dumbass.
Is it really that Trump is your thin line you're hanging on for dear life to have some purpose in it?
n/a nanonan 2017-05-21
Meh, at least I don't think bobbing your head for a fraction of a second is a curtsey. Unless I fell through a Mandela effect time vortex of course.
