Trump clearly has disdain for liberal Western democracies (snubbing or insulting UK, Germany and Canada) and prefers to hang around with dictators (Putin, Kim Jong Un).
When the free world sees Trump they
The queen has no power whatsoever, she's a relic of the past.
President Trump is not a subject of the Queen. The Queen is just a figurehead of the British Commonwealth. However, there is such thing as decorum. There is such that as having class, having some consideration, having some courtesy. President Trump showed that he has none of that. What makes this more disturbing is that he showed more respect for a nasty dictator.
No he is not. However, when the President makes nice with a violent dictator, but snubs Queen Elizabeth, that is very concerning. It tells me where he stands. It shows a sense of moral decrepitude.
All he got was one hour with the queen. No state dinner, no slumber parties, no gifts from the queen. He was snubbed and the best he could do to return that snub was turn up late. LOL. He can't touch the queen but that is because she stays out of politics.

It sounds like you were hoping for something different. He won't change and the reason for this is because of type of voter that supports him.

Trump saluted a Noko that saluted him. If the Queen would have bowed to Trump, he would have bowed back out of courtesy.
They go off half-cocked at the slightest misstep of POTUS and then proceed to "educate" everyone else on the given topic, even when they demonstrate a glaring shortage of personal knowledge. Like our OP here.

No, and since it was D. Trump meeting with the Queen, my expectations, were very low.
The man is a cad and has no class or manners. His suit looked like it needed a good pressing. He looked bored, as usual. There is such a thing as decorum but evidently, he has no grace or idea how to behave in public; or show respect for Queen Elizabeth. She probably knew what to expect.
As a world leader he should know better. Trump is a despicable person and it's in his genes. No amount of coaching can make this man child learn morals or the feelings of others.
Rest of the USA doesn't care nor bothers with USA Today. No proud American would show such deference to a "royal".
However, he is poised to kiss Putin's. What is up with that?
Queen Elizabeth has been around awhile. She has more class than Trump could ever know. She was probably hoping and praying that the dude would not touch her.
