Once you see the video and not the still picture it doesn't look like much.
Trump returns salute of North Korean general at summit, state media footage reveals - CNNPolitics
Less a Trump saluting the guy and more just one of those things like walking down a hall and running into someone and you both move right, then left, then right. But if the media filmed you doing that they would say you were dancing.
The North Korean media filmed him doing it and that's where it's playing. You do not salute a North Korean General, even if that North Korean general used an unfair jedi mind trick by saluting first.
It is a breach of military courtesy not to return a salute, no matter who is offering it.
The CNN-paid generals by saying otherwise should be publicly castigated for their ignorance.
First off, Trump is a civilian, as his "bone spurs" kept his sorry ass out of Vietnam.
Secondly, the President is never required to return a salute, he only does it as a matter of courtesy.
Third, and most importantly, he is an enemy General of a rogue nation, and the whole visit was designed to increase Kim's standing and legitimate his murderous regime, which he did in spades, because he met with the Dotard and played him like a fiddle.
This salute was the icing on the cake to a propaganda bonanza. America loses again under Trump.
Don't you ever get tired of being wrong and proving yourself to be a stupid, partisan hack?
Trump is Commander-in-Chief of the US military, His picture is at the top of the display where I work.
His "bone spurs" were real, and if you ever had them or saw someone with them, you would understand. My wife suffered for about two years with them and they just magically disappeared on their own. Those "bone spurs" may kept him from being one of the last persons drafted during the Vietnam era when we were already drawing down our forces in Vietnam, so there was only a small likelihood that he would have ever been sent. Had he been drafted, the war would have likely been over before he even had a chance to serve there.
Courtesy is one of the hallmarks of diplomacy, wouldn't you say?
is a general in a nation with which we are attempting to negotiate.
Why can't you losers set your sights on something important like the attempted coup by the Obama administration's spies in the intelligence communities, FBi, and DOJ? Would that not be a more effective use of your time and efforts?
The Democrats are going to go down hard and may not make it back for many years. They have no message except to do everything in their power to make life miserable again like it was for 10 years under Obama and the Democrat-controlled Congress in 2007 onward.
