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 youll 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.

“”They did not bow or curtsy, but instead opted to simply shake hands.””
I was waiting for precisely that moment and the Queen put her hand out first so she didn’t have a problem with PROTOCOL!! I’m sure after the faux paux of the obozos meeting the Queen they were ready to do what was required but as long as she made the first move, I would have done the same as they did!! OR WHAT - leave her hand hanging in midair?
I encourage everyone to read the comments on the article.
in Obama’s case, it was customary to greet someone in a bathhouse while bending over
“Screw you people and youre disgusting royals”
Should be “your” not “you’re”. Boy, I REALLY must be pissed off at their silly little once-was-an-important country to make THAT mistake.
Tanya dearie......
The Queen was meeting the President and the First Lady
We have not bowed to Queens since 1776.
The only President I know that bowed was Obama.
In that case, it’s the obamas that broke protocol. Slavery is deeply entrenched in the leftist mind.
yesterday’s fake news at cnet (tech site) and elsewhere was how twitter nuked 300,000 fake followers of Trump (and that was the headline). Obama lost 1.5M followers in the same purge.
Brits were really vile in their posters opposing Trump.....but then when you look at those in the crowd it makes sense.
Actually this is the Obaba Brits and the dial up groups of Soros who show up at the G 7 Summits etc. Green Peace and the LGBT etc etc etc.....the usual who line up the protests, gets the publics attention then hijacks the protests with scum..all the crud that flows in their gutters there come out to play.
He did that?
He Majesty did not seem to mind. As the Sun UK reported, “she beamed”. Most of the pix have her ‘beaming’ a noticeable smile much of the time.
US Media needs to have something to whine about.
At least Her Majesty did not have to worry about being groped, as the former First Lady did. Talk about protocol! Michelle broke it.
You never see a positive post about Trump on Yahoo.
I watched the video. He apparently thought the Queen had started walking with him.
That little walk did seem awkward on the Queen’s part. The cause was Trump attempting to show deference to the Queen and the Queen was attempting to show respect to the President.
Americans should bend neither neck nor knee to anyone on this Earth.
She's a pretty nice girl.
Effin yeah, we dont bow to a queen! I wouldnt bow to her. Sorry. I have respect for her as THEIR head of state or whatever, but she isnt mine.
I dont pray to Allah or other deities either. But Id be respectful in a mosque. AMERICANS SHOULDNT BOW TO ROYALTY.
Who the hell cares. If that evil satanic woman was tied to a stake covered with gasoline, I would gladly be the one to light the match.
“”I encourage everyone to read the comments on the article.””
Ugly, weren’t they? Pretty much like Hannity reported from his show last night walking among the riff-raff. They don’t know why they hate - they just hate! I guess we can count ourselves lucky inasmuch as all we have to put up with scum from this country, they aren’t as bad as those in England. What miserable lives they must lead to have nothing else to do but carry stupid signs and mouth vulgarities..
Did he gift the queen with the full Celebrity Apprentice 12 Season Package?
President Trump made some major missteps when meeting the queen
I think he has shown them a great deal of respect by:
JUST GOING TO THAT SOCIALIST HAVEN OF MUSLIMS!
And, no President of the United States is required to do anything but be cordial to those Brit Twits.
