President Trump made some major missteps when meeting the queen
Yahoo! ^ | July 13, 2018 | Tanya Edwards

President Trump met with the queen of England today and committed several protocol gaffes that left many feeling that his behavior was an insult to Britain and lacked the respect that should be shown the monarch — and if not a monarch, a 92-year-old woman.

The president was soundly condemned on social media for walking in front of Queen Elizabeth as they inspected a guard of honor of the Coldstream Guards. The queen was forced to bob and weave as she caught up to walk alongside him.

Trump did appear to notice, and in the video below you’ll see that as she catches up with him, she gives the tiniest gesture with her hand, signaling to him to continue walking.

Earlier, the president and first lady Melania Trump defied protocol when they greeted the queen: They did not bow or curtsy, but instead opted to simply shake hands. It is not obligatory to bow, as Americans are not her subjects, but doing so is widely considered good manners.

“Odumbo seemed to bow to every monarch during his first apology world tour.”

The Queen was the only Monarch that obama did NOT bow to at meeting them.

Considering the way so many Brits have treated our President, it has to have taken extraordinary restraint not to pop her majesty the bird.

And she is how old? Although in really good shape for being that old, I doubt she thought anything of it. So much so, she asked the Trumps to stay longer for tea than they were scheduled to.

Only British Subjects bow before the Queen. In light of the fact that England would be speaking German but for the help of the United States, the Queen should be bowing to our President.

He did great and so did Melania. Americans don’t bow.

IMO...….World leaders, no matter who they are, should bow oly to God, not a dignitary, politician or even a monarch. The Queen of England, although a very classy lady is NOT a world leader but someone who inherited her position. I saw nothing wrong with how Trump acted before Queen Margret. At least he didn’t give her a gift of his speeches.

I always try to guess the source of negative headlines before opening the thread. Yahoo is by far the most predictable.

Did Reagan bow to the Queen?

At the 0:33 mark, Reagan bows his head while approaching the Queen.

HOWEVER, regarding Obama...from the 0:55 mark where Obama's approach to the Queen commences, through shaking her hand, Obama does not bow or nod his head.

The “Queen” of that island over there is a nice lady. No sh*ts given for their monarchy and other nonsense. They need to worry about the Islamic flag flying over London within a generation and pray that America can save them AGAIN.

They did not bow or curtsy...

One of the mottos of the American War for Independence directed against the tyrant King George III and the theologically discredited doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings (which asserted that when the king spoke, it was the voice of God speaking directly to the people) is based on a quote from Reverend Power’s sermon: “We own no other prince or sovereign but the Prince of Heaven, the great Sovereign of the Universe.” Another motto (first suggested by Benjamin Franklin and often repeated during the Revolution) was similar in tone: “Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God.” July 4th Article

Accordingly:

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; (Phillipians 2:9,10)

We bow the knee only to King Jesus.

I'll guess it's quite likely that the same ones bitching about all this are among the same subset of dhimmis who've uttered nary a peep about gangs of barbarian ragheaded goatf***ers expanding their depravity by raping children all over the UK.

Technically all American citizens are sovereigns since all powers derive from us. Thus no American citizen should bow for any foreign potentate ever.

No. The left trips all over themselves making fun of DJT for supposedly using a spray on tan which they say makes him look orange.

They usually add descriptors like "Cheeto","Julius or "Gibbon" to emphasize their orange meme.

These leftist are the same ones that go apoplectic if someone refers to theirs magic negro as a "chocolate drop"' "porch monkey" or "pavement ape" (racism you know).

Same line of inconsistent reasoning they use in making fun of the "Tea Party" by giggling and calling them "teabaggers" while again going ballistic if someone calls their rainbow people fags, rump rangers or homos.

It's what the left is.

Phonies.

Americans (except for Obama) bow to no earthly King. They did not bow and I am happy they did not.

You knew this was coming. If President Trump used the wrong escargot fork, the propaganda machine would make it sound like an international incident.

I wonder how much the Queen minded these horrendous breaches of protocol? Or if she even noticed.
