A whole lot of blue checks on Twitter were horrified the other day when President Trump and wife Melania didn’t bow and curtsey when meeting Queen Elizabeth during their U.K. visit.
While many found it “bloody rude,” others stepped in to remind the mob that the U.S. president and his wife aren’t British subjects, and protocol dictated that the queen offer her hand for a handshake.
But that was only one of many outrages during Trump’s U.K. trip. Alyssa Milano, for example, was appalled at one point when the much taller President Trump stood in front of the queen.
This is disgraceful, @realDonaldTrump. SHE’S THE QUEEN and she’s 92 years old! You’re incapable of acting like a human being. You’re incapable of being a leader. pic.twitter.com/A1vKTJgv21

We already know how Milano feels about Trump, but this video might not be the hill to die on.
So the scandal is that he stopped when he couldn't see her because she walked behind him and then he waited for her to come to other side so he could see her then kept walking.
He's definitely getting impeached for this https://t.co/uSIBiePz56

This outrage is outrageous
He's twice her height
& took a couple of normal steps before noticing she was behindThe he looks around and let's her catch up

Yeah, I’m unsure what was exactly going on here. Not a Trump person, but I find this snippet confusing each time I see it.

I saw it live. She gestured to him to go first to review the guard. He hesitated, then went as she instructed. Then he walked slowly to stay at her pace. Walking as I do with a 90+ year old, I can relate.

Finally the voice of reason. I saw the same way

Post the full video…. I'm no Trump supporter but he wasn't being intentionally rude… He didn't know where to stand….. Come on now…don't create your own narrative by deliberately only posting a bit of the footage. That makes you dishonest. https://t.co/cO0a1DihZk

Have to agree with you on this one.

She actually motions him to walk ahead of her in the full video. When you have to cheat to make a point you’ve already lost.

Exactly. The queen has seen enough new leaders in her lifetime that a simple slip up as seen in the full video she handles with class & grace by directing Mr. Trump where to stand & points ahead of her. She allows for correction and joins him I am not a Trump fan but 0 story here

Does she look like she’s offended? Protocol mishaps happen all the time. The Queen deals with it on a daily basis with good humor and class. Something you obviously know nothing about. pic.twitter.com/Blka2iZOWR

If you’d bothered to share the whole video, people would see that he realized she was behind and took smaller steps the rest of the walk to stay with her. But that doesn’t fit your narrative so you just posted the part that works for you. Let me help you. https://t.co/ca53bxck77

She is A queen. Not the only, and not ours. Also, post the whole video, not the edited one. This is why we don’t take you seriously.

Seriously, you need to get a hobby or something because you are losing your mind

Does one minute go by that you aren't flipping out about something? #GetAGrip #TrumpObsessed #LunaticLiberal

You don't have a "QUEEN", Alyssa.
I know you wanted one, but she lost.
