1. I wonder if any of his pals who went with him told him NOT to do this given his boo boo several years ago!!

[Norbert]

4. They live by 2 rules

1. Trump is never wrong.
2. if he is wrong, refer to rule 1.

[Traildogbob]

2. Does Kegsbreath

Approve of THOSE Generals??
He’s firing all of ours, of which trump never would salute.
Tell me again where did Bin Laden and 9/11 terrorist come from from?

[Diamond_Dog]

3. Once again, imagine if Biden or Obama did this.

[JHB]

6. Don't have to imagine. Early in his presidency Obama met with the Saudi king...

...or some other royal, and for a moment forgot that the protocol from when he was a senator had changed, so he started dipping down into a bow and then stopped. But the Right never stopped yapping about him "bowing" to the Saudis.

Even though Bush was so tight with them that he literally smooched with one on camera.

[mountain grammy]

18. Yes my racist brother in law

Yammered on about it every time Obama’s name was mentioned.

8. Why does such a lovely

viral 6 foot 3 inch man always look so small ?

[tanyev]

9. "I love it when people salute me. This is fun!"

Did the Saudis organize a rolling line of men in uniforms saluting just to keep him entertained for a couple hours?

[calimary]

16. Probably.

He’s a walking talking annd saluting embarrassment.

Prouder than ever that I never voted for him.

[Liberal In Texas]

10. Saluting the Saudi's is a show of subservience.

It looks like the Saudi guy is trying to shake his hand and dumbass is saluting him.

[Maru Kitteh]

11. JFC what a STUPID man he is.. Dumber than a box of hammers.

And all the visual appeal of a can of smashed assholes.

[spanone]

12. Saudis love this guy. He can be bought.

[Deuxcents]

13. He IS bought by the people who murder those who oppose them, followers who fly airplanes full of passengers

Into our economic capital of Twin Towers, our Pentagon and a farmer’s field in Pennsylvania. Nothing good is gonna come from this

[Kid Berwyn]

14. Probably thinks the Saudis are grifting him an airplane.

Like that time the imbecilic fraud and genuine traitor saluted a North Korean general -- he owed them money:



Trump did not disclose $19.8m loan while president, documents show

The loan from Daewoo, a company with ties to North Korea, should have been reported in public financial disclosures

The Guardian, May 5, 2022

Donald Trump failed to disclose a $19.8m loan from a company with historical ties to North Korea, while he was the US president, according to a new report.

Documents obtained by the New York attorney general, and reported by Forbes, on Sunday indicate a previously unreported loan owed by Trump to Daewoo, the South Korean conglomerate.

Daewoo was the only South Korean company allowed to operate a business in North Korea during the mid-1990s.

Forbes revealed that Trump’s relationship with Daewoo is at least 25 years old. At one point, Daewoo partnered with Trump on a development project near the United Nations headquarters in New York City, Trump World Tower.

Trump and Daewoo continued to do business together, including using Trump’s name on six South Korea-based properties from 1999 to 2007, according to the magazine.

The outlet reports that the debt in question “stems from an agreement Trump struck to share some of his licensing fees with Daewoo”.

Pro Tip: The above would've made a swell campaign commercial.

15. 🤬🤮🤬

[AverageOldGuy]

17. Not the first time

I'm not certain of the date -- fairly certain is was 2018 -- Trump visited North Korea and saluted their generals.

[milestogo]

19. Well, they own him now.

20. trump saluted Saudi General-'Debased himself': Trump triggers disgust as he kowtows to Saudis

trump never served in the military due to draft dodging and bone spurs. Saluting a foreign general is simply wrong

President Donald Trump saluted each Saudi Arabian general who greeted him during his visit to Riyadh Tuesday, causing critics to melt down over the spectacle.

Standing next to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Trump was seen saluting and shaking hands as the long line of generals waited to greet the American president.

Journalist and former UN diplomat Olga Nesterova pointed out, "Trump goes ahead and salutes every single Saudi official at the Royal Court in Riyadh."

The X account @JoeyFotoFr displayed the following post: "As an American citizen, my president salutes no one in the world. If I'd accept an exception it would be a salute to the flag, covering the body of a fallen American soldier. Saluting these guys is national humiliation by the traitor Trump, a pig POTUS.".....

According to Newsweek, "There has been a discussion in recent years about the proper etiquette for presidents saluting the military, particularly those from other nations. A returned salute by Trump to a North Korean general during his first term sparked criticism, with some saying he should not have shown respect to a hostile nation. Others said it was courteous to return the gesture."
