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
And don't forget the STUPID DORK CURTSIED to the Saudi King!
I don't want the President of the United States of America bowing down to anyone from England. We declared our independence from them in 1776. If that bothers them over there they can shove their crumpets where the sun doesn't shine!
Heaven forbid anyone should ever shake your hand or hung you or show any kind respect or affection toward you because it would degrade them to show any deference to you at all.
But there is nothing wrong with having manners, or acting civil, or following tradition or
protocol as most Leaders do.
(I realize this is going to be completely lost though on Trump and his base). So no worries.
No one was really expecting him to act kind or respectful or like another normal human being.
Most people think that a little courtesy goes a long way, but Trump is probably mad that they
didn't bow to him.
I dont think so either.... but its nice to be nice and when the Queen visits places where she has to remove her shoes, she does, and wears black to meet the Pope.. but she has class.
Nobody expected him to bow to the Queen because she is his (our) ruler, but it does seem to me that you don't reach out to shake the hand of a monarch in her own country unless she first offers it - I don't know if she did or didn't - thus a slight bow seems acceptable as a sign of respect.
I did not see the review of the troops, I will have to check that out, but I did notice that after the playing of the Star Spangled Banner, that they had to step down from that high podium and it appears that trump didn't offer his arm as a gentleman should. If you are going to shake her hand as a sign that you are an equal, could't you at least offer your arm and a sign of respect to a woman who is 20 years your senior.
Of all the problems I have with trump, these are the most embarrassing ones; he represents the USA and as earlier said, he does it in an oafish and unnecessarily rude way. There are plenty of people in the white house to help him decide how to behave without appearing a clod, yet he seems to ignore protocol people in favor of his "executive time." He is not going to learn manners from Hannity or anyone at "Fox and Friends."
You dont offer your arm hand or anything to the Queen.. she walks on her own always.... however he was a bit of a prat walking in front of the lady. at the guard inspection... his manners arent quite sorted and should be in his position.. he should be reading up on the protocol of other countries as the Queen does when visiting other places and is never offensive.....
Though I am no fan of monarchies, it's cool that they've had one head of state for the last 65 years rather than second-raters like Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and worst of all - Obama!
You think Trump is a better President than any of the last seven Presidents? What kind of spiked Kool-Aid have you been drinking? I’d even take Nixon any day over Know-Nothing Trump!!
