Trump make minor mistake when meeting the Queen

The issue wasn’t bowing, Heads of state are not required to bow the issue was he walked in front of her and block her path which is a minor mistake you suppose to walk evenly with her.

Ok. That at least makes more sense but bowing was one of the things listed in the article referenced in the OP. However, he also apparently noticed she was behind and corrected it.
The real newsworthy part of this is the parts of the media that went totally wild over this, as if thought it were a real thing…and the media followers who jumped right in.
Its pretty obvious there were a lot of people who were waiting in eager anticipation of some faux pas and when it didnt happen went with that lame thing.

This thread has gone downhill fast.

It morphed.

Its a minor thing I doubt Trump even knew about it, overall everyone on hand during the meeting was impressed with Trump he didn’t make a fool of himself like most of them though.

Well I have to say the Italians defiantly put the fear into Brussels this past election. It’s looking like Sweden of all countries will be next this September. I was just reading a piece on politico called “Sweden Freaks Out”.

Anything/anyone that does not fully endorse the decision of those at the top to bring in immigrants from war torn countries is a part of the “far right”. The labeling of those who would fight against their agenda are for their “sheeple” so that they do not actually open their own eyes and truly see for themselves what’s happening.

They were calling the balloon tiny this morning.

And the hands were even tinier as would be appropriate.

Similar to Michelle Obama Trump made a minor mistake

I watched the whole thing. A first for me. Yes, there was a bumble…but unlike Moochie, Trump was busting his gut trying to be correct. When the old lady took the stairs you could see Trump, gentleman that he is, straining to NOT help her up.

The guys an an oaf who drives golf carts onto the tees and green. If this is all he stumbles on then it’s quite a performance.

He drives golf carts on the green? OMIGOD! What a moron!

Presidents, First Ladies, Ambassadors and those in foreign service have protocol directors who guide them through the traditions and nuances of other cultures.

Or they used to.

I see two things the left supporting mass migration calling everyone racist and fascist who oppose it and the second being the thorough flushing of these same people the center left ‘aka’ the social democrats out of Europe each election.

Sweden <—— The center left has held power since 1918 or 100 years, now are facing losing in September to the Sweden Democrats (right wing) this would be a momentous event.

IOW…the left in Sweden is about to be “trumped” by the right.

Trump is head of state of the US just as the Queen is head of state of the US. He is on an equal footing with the queen in protocol, not subservient. Sorry, it was Obama bowing to foreign kings that was wrong protocol.
At least the OP believes it was minor. Yahoo News (oxymoron?) is having a fit about it by cherry picking outraged Trump haters.

Donald Trump bows to Saudi king and signs $110 billion arms deal with the Gulf state

The picture is not one of him bowing, but bending to have a medal put on his head. Was he supposed to demand that the King go get a stepladder? But thanks for showing that he is going to be blasted for bowing and for not bowing…by the same people.

Lol too funny. Guess he didn’t bother to click his own link.

Axxowiz · 2018-07-14T16:10:35.383Z

Yep all signs point to another butt kicking to the center left.

Not so.
In this instance they were not on the world stage. They were heads of state on a state visit.
Host and guest are not equals.
Protocol would have been different had they been meeting at a UN conference or some neutral activity.

Watch the video at link, 0:45. Yes, he bends over to receive the medal but then he does a small bow.

NOpe. NOt paying Washington Post a penny.

I will agree with that when Britain complains about some breach of protocol and sites standards with which they and our state department agreed. As it is, there seem to be a lot of different opinions as to whom should stand where. Not that 18th century “where to stand in relations to a monarch” isn’t something more suited to Disneyland than of real importance. I hardly thing Britain will complain about being insulted when they have a balloon of their guest in diapers. If this is the 18th century, then off with their heads.
