Just like he did with Queen Elizabeth a few years ago. What a clueless oaf.
Now cue up the righty apologists.....

ChicKenShit rushes to find the least negative thing to say about his Lord and Master, the most boorish clod on the planet.

If Nicky’s breathing, he’s complaining. And he’s still breathing, so…

He characterized it as oafish. I characterized it as awkward. Is there really that much of a difference, or is Nicky just fishing for reasons to complain?

I could also have said rude, crude, ignorant or boorish.

Nicky used oafish to describe Trump, then gets upset when I use a synonym, basically agreeing with him. But the knee jerk crank goes on a rant nonetheless! 🤣

Doesn't ChicKie know that when you must stoop to declaring victory it's proof positive you are the one who has lost?

Let's see if ChicKenShit will use the same GIF when Dotard Donald goes on one of his unhinged rants.  I'm not putting any money on Polymarket that he will.  I'm sure the hypocrite coCKSucker will still be sucking Trump's cock.

First he said: "The Heading On The Reel Asked “Awkward Or Disrespect?”
Looks very awkward to me."
But when I said he'd picked the least pejorative description he moved the goalposts, lying that the choice was really between "oafish" and "awkward."
Yep, even Paulie Walnuts knows ChicKie's a slimy CoCKSucker...

the wives to walk behind the heads of state.  If the head of state is a woman, then her husband would walk beside Melania and she would walk beside Trump.  Camilla was not where she was supposed to be, and I think Trump was trying to prevent her making a gaffe, or having one of the bystanders touch her (You are not supposed to touch a British Royal unless they initiate it) but I agree it was clumsy-looking the way he did it.

And now tell us the protocol that explains Trump's behavior with Queen Elizabeth.  
.
"Trump is a boorish oaf" explains it, but that is not protocol.

You took issue with “awkward” when you yourself used the synonym “oafish”. You’re desperately confused.

His weak-assed excuses for a comeback utterly fails, adds nothing to this discussion. Why? Because he knows he's lost. He just can't admit it.
Why doesn't crsm join in and accuse him of "moving the goal posts?"
Talk about a "fade."

He doesn't know PROTOCOL.   This sums up much of what Trump does.    I am sure he is too egoistical to take classes or try and remember any etiquette.   Which almost all countries have some sort of formal etiquette to follow.   ESPECIALLY ENGLAND.    

 
I am surprised the "liberal brain trust" on didn't go off on how Melania wouldn't "hold his hand" during pictures.   When in Royal pictures it isn't "proper" to hold hands or show affection.    You watch a video she lets go of his hand while pictures are taken.... then grabs it again.    All the while Trump is trying to engage her to hold his hand.    Melania knows these things..... DONNIE doesn't.

was during his first term.  He didn't have Monica Crowley as his chief of protocol then.   He has made far fewer mistakes this time around, which are so minor by comparison that they don't even survive a 24-hour news cycle.

and it's not that he's making "far fewer mistakes this time." The reason is we've come to EXPECT boorish behavior from Trump.

The options aren't "according to strict protocol" OR "boorish oaflike behavior."

One might violate strict protocol and still be polite and respectful.

Biden glanced at his watch for a second during a Dignified Transfer Ceremony and was trashed by every MAGA. Trump was GRIFTING to sell more "USA 45-47" Trump branded golf hats on the Trump merch site by refusing to take off the golf hat during the ceremony. Even righties criticized Trump for failing to show respect to the fallen by refusing to remove his hat. There were several observers, left and right and neutral (military), that said they couldn't remember anyone NOT removing their hat to show respect at these ceremonies. What do you expect of someone who has no respect for those who serve ("What's in it for them?"), refused to visit the D-Day cemetery in France because it was drizzling, and who, TOTALLY AGAINST THE RULES, used the burial of soldier at Arlington National Cemetery as a photo op to use in a campaign ad?

"Protocol" was the wrong word to use.

 
How about proper etiquette when dealing with Foreign nationals.     You know their customs type thing.

Because, in fact, protocol is the correct term. So says AI, which agrees that -- secondarily -- etiquette is also involved.
"Yes, Donald Trump was widely criticized for violating royal protocol and diplomatic etiquette by stepping in front of Queen Camilla during a greeting line at the White House. Video showed him walking ahead of her to greet U.S. officials, causing her to stop, which many observers termed a "shockingly rude" breach of protocol."
Further:
"A protocol is a defined set of rules, conventions, or procedures governing behavior, communication, or data formatting. It ensures consistency and structure in formal, diplomatic, computing, or scientific contexts. Key synonyms include convention, procedure, code, standard, etiquette, and guidelines."
A word to the unwise: In future, Billy Bob should at least use google/AI to find out that what he's about to post may be wrong. Again.

Glad you have to us AI instead of forming your own thoughts.

 

There is unwritten rules of etiquette and formal rules of etiquette.   There is protocol to follow which can be different than etiquette.     But yeah liberal splitting hairs again.

 
BUT.... walking or stepping in front of the queen.... which you and others are bitching about.   THERE IS NO PROTOCOL... it is a norm or etiquette to not do it.

Protocol for Walking in Front of the Queen
There is no formal, legally binding rule in the British monarchy that obligates you to walk in front of the Queen or King, but there are long‑standing unwritten etiquette norms that are widely observed in official settings News.az+1.

The Unwritten Norm
While the official royal website states there are no obligatory codes of behaviour when meeting members of the royal family, it is considered a “big don’t” to walk in front of the monarch during formal events polinews.org. This is part of the broader set of royal courtesies that help maintain decorum and respect.

Why It Matters
Respect and precedence: The monarch is at the head of the line of courtesy; walking in front can be seen as interrupting their role in greeting guests.

Public perception: Even if not a strict rule, such a breach can be interpreted as disrespectful or uncoordinated, especially in high‑profile settings News.az+1.

Historical precedent: Past royal figures have been criticized for similar missteps, and royal commentators have described such actions as “awkward” or “embarrassing” News.az+1.

When It’s Permissible
In very informal or private settings, such as a family gathering or a non‑ceremonial walk, there is no expectation to follow the formal line.

If you are part of a procession or official delegation, you may be instructed to walk in front as part of your role, but this is usually coordinated with the royal staff.

Bottom Line
If you are meeting the Queen in a formal or public setting, it is best to walk behind her and allow her to greet guests first. This follows the accepted royal etiquette and helps avoid any appearance of disrespec

the entertaining idiot that Biden was.  Falling down the stairs, getting lost in a simple one-sentence statement, being led around by everyone from Obama to the Easter bunny when he didn't know where he should stand or which direction the camera was in were the source of many daily guffaws.  You're right, Trump's straight-forward, taking care of business demeanor is no match for the unintended comic relief we enjoyed with Biden as he presided over the worst 4 years of American decline since Jimmy Carter.   Look forward to 2028, when you might have the opportunity to vote for Kamala again.

you bringing up the "but, Biden" card after your continuous 4 years of you playing the "but ,Trump" card.  Do a search of posts in the past Four years where you made a Biden post about Trump, and you will get thousands of examples.   Do you really believe that Biden was more cognitively aware while in office than Trump is.  Trump does 15-30 minute pressers almost daily.  Biden did less then one a month because he couldn't put two sentences together unless he was reading them.  The reason you get to see his moments of relaxation as well is because he is the most transparent prez in history.  Go ahead and say, "No, Biden was" and see how credible you sound.  Lol

once the disastrous debilitating debate was over, you did concede that Biden was probably not fit to run again, but you thought Kamala was, so you still lose judgment points for that.  Lol    She seems like a fun person to share a bottle of wine with, but can you imagine her as president?  After all of those years working her way up the Democrat ladder as Willy Brown's mistress, you KNOW she must give one hellava BBBJ w/swallow.

Trump done that was, or is, not calculated to leave The U.S. and its citizens better off?    On the issues, he's just following the polls, which in most instances are 80-20, and Trump has remained on the side of the 80% of Americans.   The 20% support is made up of the far-left Democrats, who are also the loudest, so the PERCEPTION that these issue have support among rank-and-file Americans is greater than the reality, BECAUSE of the noise coming from the left.

what a load of horseshit you just produced. First of all, what does "calculated" mean? ZERO. Trump probably "calculated" that the Iran War would be over in a week. And yet, here we are with skyrocketing gas prices, the price of other goods soaring and no end in sight. DOGE failed to deliver anything like the savings that were promised. So no bonus check for Americans as Trump said. He also slammed the economy with his tariffs and then got slammed by the Supreme Court. Now his giving back the tariff money to companies but, again, no bonus checks for Americans like he said he'd do.
As for PERCEPTION, no wonder you hate the polls because even MAGAts are turning against Trump. But blame it on the left. Sure.
But keep chugging that Kool Aid.
You sound desperate.
