"It’s was so bizarre with two marines standing at attention,..."

Is it just me or is it a "formal, presidential"-thing, but I can't recall military people (i.e. "Biden's" Marines) having a standing position where the hands are clasped in front at waist-level? When I was in, you were either at attention, parade rest, or as-you-were.

This is one of the things that I keyed on.
The optics would have indicated that those fancy white gloves of parade dress MUST be made obvious on camera.

Look up "US Marine Funeral Ceremonial Guard"...Look at the images

I noticed that too, and went to search for images of Marines with Trump.

There are a few images of Marines standing like that, but didn't see any of them with Trump, or standing behind him.

There were three or four like that, with the Marines standing outside some white double doors.

It is an odd stance. I remember attention, parade rest, and at ease, as the stances without rifles. Not sure what this stance is supposed to be. Maybe it has been around, and I just missed it.
