He didn't need to bow. It's true.

I wish he didn't, it's an unnecessary distraction and frankly doesn't help given that most other leaders don't do it.

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

Plus, I believe it's either bow or shake hands. Not both at the same time. I guess this is what you get when a man-child in President.

Giving respect in diplomacy risks our national security. But giving respect to our elders is a moral imperative. So of course, its what we come to expect from the party of "we are mad at something but we can't figure it out".
