I Like Ike

I see the press, and others, have enjoyed discussing the appropriateness of President Trump’s etiquette while visiting the Queen. The Telegraph asks “Did Donald Trump forget to bow to the Queen?” Others forego the question and jump directly to the outrage.

trump no bow

You see what happens when history is no longer taught on either side of the pond? Nobody remembers that we won the Revolutionary War.

Of course there are others who likewise forgot we won WWII:

You know who didn’t forget who won WWII?

I’ll bet Ike would be on board with MAGA.

I guess the leftist fake media forgot all about the gutter trash that is Obama.

He would have Mau Mau’d the queen if he could.

Bowing & curtsying are really the protocols for subjects of the crown. We are not subjects of the crown. We pay homage to no one. Furthermore, we are not compelled to walk behind the queen either, because again, we are not subjects of the crown.

Video of Reagan and Clinton and W and Obama show differences.

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

Clinton didn't bow, nor did George W Bush.

Obama bowed all over the place but his special contempt for the U.K. was on display. From the 0:55 mark where Obama's approach to the Queen commences, through shaking her hand, Obama does not bow at all.

I'm not suggesting that Reagan was the weaker of this lot, or that Obama and Clinton and Dubya are some sort of Trumpian at heart.

What I AM saying is this is much ado about nothing.

Exactly, and their claim that Trump bowed to the Saudi leader was equally as nonsensical of a claim as well. He leaned over so that the shorter Saudi leader could put the medal around his neck, as Trump is quite a bit taller.

The president of the freest, most prosperous nation in the world and Commander-In-Chief of the most powerful military in the history of the planet doesn’t bow to anyone.

The lamestreamers made a huge deal when Nancy Reagan “neglected” to curtsy to the queen.

The President of the United States bows only to God.
