        To be fair, the orange convicted felon and rapist found some good speed on that trip

      I hate this dunk because it’s clearly shown in the original video that the DPRK officer saluted Trump first. The president salutes like fifty Marines every single day, it’s not strange for him to reflexively salute someone else without thinking about it.

          Eh, in Trump’s case it was best to be running in autopilot… His tweets were him “thinking”

          It was a diplomatic meeting, what were they gonna do? Kidnap the president of the united states?

          My point is that if you see people salute you and you salute them back, do it enough times and it will become a reflex. The response to Obama bowing to someone in a culture where bowing is totally normal was equally stupid, but it was conservatives doing it instead of liberals.
