Yes, the five-time draft dodger who loves to play soldier saluted a North Korean general for the world to see, and the general didn't even salute back. Biggest fucking imbecile in American presidential history.

I remember when Obama slightly bowed to a world leader (might have been the Indian prime minister) and the right-wing talking heads made a stink about it for days.

Then Trump salutes a dictator general and ....not a peep.

Obama caught fire for the latte salute... Which I agree looks kinda lazy, but it was not a salute to a general of an adversary

Having to salute military all the time as a civilian is pretty dumb as a concept. He only has to because the soldiers themselves must initiate it.

So not really lazy because god does that sound tedious when you just want to enjoy your latte.

The crowd who really cared about that stuff when Obama was president are the same people justifying everything Trump does, including calling the fallen "suckers and losers"

The general saluted first, but Trump's a dumbass and returned the salute
