“can’t comprehend” could very well mean he thinks the protocols are insane- doesn’t necessarily mean he doesn’t understand what they are....

Example- i will never comprehend how Jews or blacks vote for demoKKKrats...

These essential rules and customs of diplomatic protocol dictate behavior at all levels of state:

Order of Precedence: Dignitaries are strictly ranked according to their status, diplomatic rank, or the chronological order of their accreditation. During formal meetings and state dinners, hosts must carefully arrange seats. The guest of honor typically sits directly across from or to the right of the host, and hierarchical spacing ensures no government is inadvertently slighted.

Forms of Address: Correct titles and nomenclature are paramount. Diplomats and heads of state are addressed with specific honorifics (e.g., “Your Excellency” or “Ambassador”), both in person and in written correspondence.

Diplomatic settings require adherence to formal dress codes, ranging from business suits to white-tie events, where medals and decorations are appropriately displayed.

The giving of gifts is a symbolic practice used to build goodwill. However, it is heavily regulated to ensure items are appropriate, culturally sensitive, and comply with strict anti-corruption and disclosure laws.

Non-verbal communication—such as the rules regarding handshakes, bowing, and eye contact—varies significantly across cultures and requires deep awareness to avoid offending international counterparts.

Comprehensive guides and historical overviews are maintained by government bodies like the United States Department of State Office of the Chief of Protocol or discussed in historical archives by the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training.

Maybe it will be De Santis-Rubio.

I keep saying Vance should resign after the Midterms and start planning a 2028 Ohio Senator run.

“some diplomatic protocols”

That is the partial quote the Irish Propaganda Star shows us, and you post that nonsense on this fine website?

Some of the protocol rules are crazy in their pickiness, and even if you follow them you’ll anger a lot of blue bloods. I wish I remembered the details, but I read about a major diplomatic kerfuffle in the Victorian era because a prince of a major power was introduced after the king of a minor non European country. Sorry, but a king outranks a prince no matter how big the country is.

He means he doesn’t suffer foolishness lightly.

Trump knows protocol, foes not always follow.

Vance doesn’t care.
