It remains interesting that much of the ridicule aimed at Trump involves things that liberals do as well.
Case in point from the Huffington Post:
The royal family adheres to a strict code of etiquette and behavior. So when the ever-boisterous President Donald Trump met with Queen Elizabeth II for tea at Windsor Castle on Friday, many expected him to serve up some awkward interactions.
Of course, Trump did not disappoint.
My goodness – Trump was rude to the queen? Our leaders should respect the customs and protocols of other nations just as we expect them to respect ours. What on earth did Trump do?
The president's critics on Twitter were quick to call him out for briefly walking in front of the queen, which is reportedly a social faux pas, during a ceremonial inspection of the Guard of Honor.
Reuters noted that Trump "halted abruptly" during the inspection, forcing Queen Elizabeth to walk around him.
As the sportscasters say, let's go to the tape. Trump and the queen initially walked appropriately, but they weren't walking in a carpeted ballroom. As they made a turn, for a brief moment, Trump was ahead of Her Majesty. It is not clear that Trump caused the problem. The queen is remarkably spry for her age, but she is 92.
Trump stopped, which allowed the queen to retake the lead. To say he forced the queen to walk around him is a remarkably biased way of putting it.
This is not earth-shattering stuff, but the article then produces an endless stream of Twitter comments describing Trump's boorishness.

The Press and Etiquette = Oxymoron
My ggggrandfather gave them British redcoats a taste of some American Bunker Hill etiquette in 1775.
Tea and crumpets.
Why?
Did he giver her an iPod with all his speeches on it?...................
Refreshing to have a President who doesn’t bow and scrape before monarchs.
Remember when the mulatto homosexual blabbed some long toast to the queen during their national anthem..?
They were all silently standing so he thought it was out of deference to HIM.
WHAT AN IDIOT.
Or return the bust of Winston Churchill?
And how!
We fought Germans in 3 wars and won 3-0...............
The Fake News, but not the press.
Hmm, the press wasn’t this outraged when Michelle Obama put her arm around the Queen’s back, which is a major violation of protocol.
So the press think Trump was rude to the Queen?..
That means the press think the Queen should receive more respect than we the people... because the press has been treating our President and his voters with hordes of rude and disrespect. Their treatment of Trump, Melania and Baron.. also the other 2 sons... has been horrible.. unbelievable!
BUT they grant the Queen special treatment. Tell me who is more important to the United States!. .. yes, Trump!
As opposed to Chewbaca, oops Mochelle putting his, oops her Paw, oops well toned Arm around the Queen.
The press isn’t ridiculing anyone. Only the LIBERAL press is. And they’re nothing but stained toilet paper anyway.
But, of course, the Trump-haters would have you believe he doesn’t bow and scrape before Monarchs because he thinks of himself as a Monarch, too!
Didn’t WE win the f**king war??
Oh, God! Looks like Our Donald might have created some kind of “microaggressions”! But I don’t think concepts like that hold as much sway in the UK as they do here, thanks to the Academics.
