Trump forgets to salute while exiting Marine One then lumbers across the tarmac to his Qatari bribe jet. Natalie Harp is the first one up the stairs to join him on the plane.

The saluting, even as he is climbing up the stairs, is just ridiculous. No wonder he believes himself to be an all powerful king, he is treated like that. It’s a terrible thing but Trump is a monster created by the US. Trump is the tyrant America made for itself.

this, every time I see the all of this protocol, I wish for him to trip. He doesn't deserve the honor and respect our military gives him.

Know of someone in the military who refused to vote for Kamala, because she didn’t salute properly. Sometimes misogyny can’t see through the forest. Look what that got us.

This fool saluted a North Koren general. Whatever meaning is officially attached to the gesture, it is lost on this draft-dodging scut.

Trump is not actually entitled to salute, as he's - a civilian - not in uniform - not wearing a hat Most Presidents didn't salue, until Reagan, the actor, who wanted the drama despite the traditional rules.

I remember "America: The Book" had a joke saying that George W Bush wasn't required to salute anyone but did anyway because it was "one of the many things he doesn't know"

I don’t understand why you are posting this. A simple Google search will show you how many times Trump has saluted various military personnel, US and otherwise including North Korea. You should delete your post.

Hear that??? That's the sound of all the MAGAts falling all over themselves to come up with excuses why he didn't salute. Oh, and blame Biden... #FMAGA & #FDT

Civilians look stupid when they salute, especially one who has called the people in uniform suckers and refused to serve. Restrict the salute to active service members and vets, civilians can place their hand over their heart.

Why is he flying that plane? I thought it was sent to be upgraded to presidential style. Guess he's not afraid to tide in it like when he was overseas.

As he walks to get on the jet steps instead of saluting the marines there he does thumbs up then starts raising his "Fight Fight Fight" fist, then hesitates and bobs his fist in a jerk off movement Then weakly salutes after he's on the steps That will now be known as his "jerk off salute wave"

Trump is scared & over re-acting. Trump is trapped in the Iran war & is over re-acting, scapegoating others for what he himself created. As the Election day &/or the Renewed attack on Iran becomes closer, the more erratic irrational crazy Trump will become. Trump will burn it all down. *

Ukraine lost access to Elon's Starlink satellites, so Jon Stewart called Starlink customer service

It's a female AF Officer, he got off saying something to her and her response made him uncomfortable when he taps his leg (a habit he does), she did turn a second time formerly and again allow a salute.

The receiving officer, whom accompanied him to the plane, was walking adjacent but very close to the president, almost like providing a counterbalance to help him walk in a relatively straight path.

I noticed this too, she helped him maintain his pace. I have neurological gait problems and walking beside or after someone is grounding. I wonder if this is new in recognition of his decline, or just a protocol thing that's helping prop him up. He's institutionalized.

Fox News must be all over this !!! Just saying this because if Obama or Biden did this, they would be losing their minds so I suspect they must be talking about this non stop right ? #saracsm

He should have realized his mistake and disrespect. Stop, come to a halt, attention, about face, then pop a salute to them! He is the commander.

Presidents have never been required to salute. The expectation is new. Reagan was the first to normalize saluting back while not in uniform. If the President had to salute everyone who saluted them, they could not walk onto a military base. This is not important.

Presidents aren't supposed to salute, just for the record. The Commander-in-Chief of the US Armed Forces is a civilian, not a member of the US Armed Forces. Now, given that Trump got annoyed when other Presidents didn't salute, or did so in a non military manner, Trump's breaking his *own* rule.

But Mobster Trump will salute these guys bsky.app/profile/donn...

This would be a national scandal if any other U.S. President failed to salute. Hey @peterbakernyt.bsky.social @nytimes.com, where's your front page stories for the next month? Oh, right. He's your favorite entertainer, so you'll ignore it - like you ignore him falling asleep & those leg braces ...

He does whatever he wants, remember? No entity has enforced law on him. Except in the E.Jean Carrol case, and he fought that for 3 years AFTER the verdict. He never, ever relents. Precisely because he's a psychopath.

Forget the salute. A foreign government literally gifted him a jet and he boards it on camera like it's a campaign prop. The corruption isn't hidden anymore. It's just the commute.

I don’t think he’s going to be able to keep these daily appearances. He doesn’t have the physical stamina or mental ability. He’s just showing the country who he really is when he opens his mouth and the drivel comes out endlessly.
