When Has A U.S. President Saluted An Enemy General?

[rightwinger]

So Trump slaps tariffs on our closest allies, snubs them, bails early on them, and then attacks them via Twitter once he's safely on Air Force One, jets off to see his new BFF Kim Jong Un, a murderous dictator, says we are canceling our military exercises with South Korea (ones that I've taken part in, as well as visiting the DMZ) and if all of that is not bad enough, this moron salutes an enemy General.

This guy is a special kind of stupid.

(What do you think Kim is thinking in this picture? "Holy Shit, the Dotard is even dumber than I thought!")

The North Korean officer saluted trump first; Trump simply returned the salute. I've seen Bush and Obama return salutes before. This is a non-issue.

dude, it's how it was reported. the fake left posted the picture rather than run the video to make it look like our president saluted the officer with his hand out. soooooo fake, just exposes them again in their continued trump syndrome issues.

It is an actual photo

 

[kaz]

Oh for Christ's sakes.

The Korean General saluted and Trump, who did go to a military college and knows the response, saluted back.

Big Fucking No Deal.

He went to military school over 50 years ago

Prior to meeting Kim, he should have been briefed about protocols and the impact of certain optics

As usual, Trump was asleep

I'm sure Trump was briefed on protocols, which is why Trump attempted a handshake first...dumbass.

So, Trump let the N. Korean dictate his behavior.

Wow, really!? There is something called being polite, granted that may be a new term for some of you.

You don't have to kiss ass to be polite, a simple handshake will do.

So you dont have to blow obama?

No one can possibly actually care about the stupid crap you're melting down about

Once again, watch the tape, he started with a handshake.

Yes, Trump started with a handshake and then fucked it all up by miming the general.

 

[rightwinger]

Was Trump saluting the genocide of the N Korean people, the death camps or the murder of political opponents?

I've long thought what we have needed is an Amendment to the Constitution whereby for anyone to be elected to the office of president, who is by definition, the Commander-in-Chief of our military, he or she must have completed at least one tour in the military, honorably, regardless of rank, thus he or she would have a working knowledge of what the troops go through.

No one is melting down, it's just another sign that Trump is mentally deficient, negotiated nothing for the United States and went out of his way to praise the leader of North Korea, the salute is just one more thing. Something else that will now be normalized by the right.

Next time run an electable candidate cupcake

We did. She got 3 million more votes than Trump - in spite of conspiracy theories, fake news, lies, Comey, and Russians.

/——-/ Having the most popular votes in the presidential race is a meaningless statistic. But I understand it’s all you clowns have. Sad and funny.

Like having the most hits and losing the world series.

Like the 1960 Yankees

/----/ A perfect analogy that Libtards can understand.
1960 World Series
Dates: October 5 - 13, 1960
New York Yankees 49 runs in 7 games
Pittsburgh Pirates 33 runs in 7 games
Pittsburgh Pirates over New York Yankees (4-3)

Leftist don't do sports

Once again, there was no need to salute, didn't appear like the general expected it in return and it would have been just fine to keep the hand down ready to shake. Trump being Trump though and not all that great with social cues decides to simply copy the general without putting any thought into it. And that folks is how you make a North Korean propaganda film.

Mentally deficient!? For being polite? As far as negotiating anything, that was not the purpose. The purpose was to get to the table and begin to have a discussion, develop some rapport. Sounds like you may be the mentally deficient one.

Trump is sometimes a knucklehead, we like that about him. Prissy stuck up liberals don't.

Sure, the purpose was not to negotiate but then why did Trump tell NK and possibly China (somebody told them) that we would suspend military training exercises in South Korea? The meeting was a negotiating point to begin with and we gave that away for free.

Now, what did we get? I mean other than the opportunity for our president to star in a North Korean propaganda movie?

 

[Gracie]

First he is bitched at for wanting to punish rocketman. Then he is bitched at for getting along with rocketman. There is no pleasing dems.

Once again, Trump is totally unprepared despite efforts to prep him beforehand

Trump has no patience for such details

Ok, let's start with a simpler concept. Let's say you want to buy a house, when you put an offer together don't you also hand over a check as good faith?

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Filthy Don, AKA Cadet Bonesours doesn't know a damn thing about protocols and procedures of the military or US government. But some how the Orange art Bastard knows more than Generals. Poppa Drumpf needs to wake up from the dead and give his dumb crotch fruit a good ass whoopin for ole time sake!

Yep, he was specifically told not to salute, but Team Apology here on the board will go ahead and make any excuse for him.

A professional State Department would be clear what message they want to send
