How do Trump cultists feel about an American President and his staff making cruel remarks about a true hero like John McCain that served his country with distinction while their draft dodging Dear Leader salutes and shows respect to an officer in the army of one of our enemies?

Trump acted appropriately under the circumstances.

My sentiments exactly.
However, there are many people on these forums that will find fault with trump no matter what he does.
Personally, I either ignore them or laugh at them depending on the circumstances.

Bowing, when it is the custom in the host's country, is a sign of respect. Something Trump knows nothing about.

A salute to a general of a cruel and inhuman dictatorship is a sign of acceptance of that regime.

Again, Trump tipped his hand this week about where his loyalties lie. And it's not with the West.

Nope, that general said FU to shaking Trump's hand and also said, "you will salute me!"

Them making Trump salute them only shows how easily Trump can be pushed around.

North Korea is airing the footage of Trump saluting their general as a big win for them.
