Talking through “Retreat” is blatant disrespect.

There was another thread about this. I thought this was a good explanation about why Mr. Trump did not violate protocol:

FACT CHECK: Did Donald Trump Joke Around, Fail to Salute the Flag During a Military Ceremony?

They were in an open bay. I’m not sure that that counts as indoors, but I’m sure no active duty NCO is going to say the Commander in Chief violated protocol.

The White House did not respond to questions seeking to understand Trump's familiarity with this military tradition.

Thank Goodness. They should do this more often. Every time the press asks a stupid question, just don't respond. Think of all the time that would be saved.


Speaking of disrespect during songs, there's always this, which is hilarious:

A retired Senior NCO made the case that technically Trump was inside so there was no requirement for the Commander in Chief to show respect for the flag, the nation, or the military.
