Queen Elizabeth II may not have been amused, but the Twitterati certainly was.

During President Trump’s hourlong visit with the queen at Windsor Castle on Friday — they shared tea, a handshake and traditional pomp-and-circumstance — one awkward moment stood out on social media. It was when President Trump momentarily seemed to (gasp!) walk in front of the queen.

Mr. Trump walked slightly ahead of the queen as they inspected her honor guard. At one point, she gestured to Mr. Trump and appeared to direct him forward with her white-gloved right hand. He walked in front of her and then stopped, which cut off her path and forced her to sidestep around him.

The queen is also 92 years old — Mr. Trump’s elder by 20 years — and many said that alone should warrant deference.

1. Jerk.

[MBS]

62. royal protocol aside, it's just common courtesy.

And common decency - both concepts unknown to him.
Not to mention the consideration that should naturally be given to any 92-year-old women.

Really, a no-brainer. But he doesn't have brains, either.

He is a defective human being.

[dustyscamp]

2. lumbering jackass

[Judi Lynn]

3. What kind of lout would NOT have been paying attention to where his 92 year old host was? n/t

[rusty quoin]

4. Him.

[BlueStater]

5. She shouldn't have agreed to meet with this prick in the first place.

He's scum and not deserving of any sort of respect. He's a wretched anomaly of history and needs to stop being treated like a normal president.

[orleans]

10. they didn't want him in their country last year

so what the hell happened with all that?
why'd he get dinner and tea?

[mr_lebowski]

11. THIS, so much ...

[mr_lebowski]

6. How does a POTUS show up to a meeting with the Queen in a tie that looks like it came from K-Mart?

[Cartoonist]

8. and Those Pants!

That's a lot of fabric.

[mr_lebowski]

9. He'd have looked 10x better if the Men's Wearhouse had dressed him ...

(dunno if non-West Coast people get the joke ...)

[Crash2Parties]

24. "I guarantee it!"

[CottonBear]

34. We've got Men's Warehouse commercials here in Georgia. We get it!

Dolt45 is a fat slob. 😠

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

53. Men's Warehouse in Michigan...

Understood.

[Vestigial_Sister]

15. He wears pants like these....

because he is extremely 'knock-kneed'. He certainly can't have anyone discover yet another 'short-coming'. Fat boys weight ain't helping matters either.

[True Blue American]

22. The gait that Trump has

Seems to be Neurapathy. I have seen many others do the same.

You can also bet his legs and ankles are swollen. His diet alone would indicate that.

Funny opif Trump is the one who had cankles. Hillary exercises, Trump is too lazy. His riding in Golf Carts makes me think he has trouble walking. His thighs would rub together,too with all that fat.

[MFM008]

31. Stove pipes

Hes put on weight.

[Lonestarblue]

40. He needs to go on a diet.

When you’re close to a hundred pounds overweight, nothing fits properly. No amount of tailoring can hide that stomach. Many people have serious weight challenges, but Trump’s is his own choice. No exercise and a diet of chocolate cake and Big Macs is a choice, not heredity.

[Stuart G]

7. Trump is too stupid and ignorant to know how to act. And he couldn't care less.

This person is 92 years old. Obviously no respect for an older famous person, let alone the queen. (who is a proud leader and loved person in Great Britain)

[True Blue American]

23. He made her stand and wait 15 minutes!

I bet he will not be seeing her again.

[BigmanPigman]

12. When I saw this earlier today a couple people wrote

"at least he didn't knock her over"...his typical narcisstic behavior. I think this should be used on SNL as a skit...they wouldn't have to change a thing, just copy it.

[flibbitygiblets]

13. I guess we should be relieved that he didn't SHOVE her out of his way

Oh, I get it! He was inspecting her honor guard, but he has no clue what "honor" means. That explains his confusion.

Donald Trump Meets Queen Elizabeth For The First Time & Commits Some Serious Faux Pas

President Trump met the Queen of England on Friday during his three-day trip to the United Kingdom. There's quite a bit of etiquette that one is expected to follow when visiting with a member of the royal family, and wouldn't you know it: Trump broke the rules for meeting the queen multiple times during their one-on-one, and Twitter is not happy about it.


Those who meet the queen are expected to be punctual. According to the BBC, it's considered rude to keep the queen waiting. And yet Trump did exactly that on Friday, Vice reports, leaving the 92-year-old monarch waiting on stage for 15 minutes before descending from his helicopter and approaching her. In a development that sparked outrage across social media, the queen was seen checking her watch twice as she waited for president to arrive.

"Just turned on the news to see the queen awkwardly waiting for Trump, who is late," journalist Malcolm Turner wrote on Twitter. "Can someone remind me why we are putting ourselves through this national humiliation? What do think we are going to gain."

"Is Trump actually LATE meeting the effing QUEEN OF ENGLAND?," another angry observer tweeted. "IS THAT ORANGE HATE GOBLIN KEEPING THE ***QUEEN*** WAITING?!?!"

"ORANGE HATE GOBLIN!" Yay! Yippeeeee!

[bitterross]

16. She also actually served her country during the war - WWII

She didn't go into battle of course, but she did serve her country. A hell of a lot more than fuck-up 45 ever did.

17. But he's wearing his diaper capable

pants for a reason! Aint easy living on KFC.

[AllyCat]

18. "Slightly" and "briefly" ahead?

Uh, no. A lot ahead

[Rollo]

19. Don't worry, Liz is used to maneuvering around tottering old geezers...

Just sayin'...

[C Moon]

21. He doesn't look like he's "all there."

[Snellius]

25. Carter once kissed the Queen - smack on the lips

You would have thought Trump could have found an unwrinkled suit that fits. It looks like he just pulled it out of the wash.

[BumRushDaShow]

30. From the tweet in your post - "Just seen a sign that says 'Trump is worse than Comic Sans'"

(literally, the coffee I was drinking exited my mouth)

[Snellius]

32. Even worse than Jokerman. Nobody does sarcasm better than the Brits.

Take a look at some of the photos, like at the Guardian, of protesters' signs. They're just hilarious. "Feed him to the corgis," etc. No pre-printed placards here.

Not sure what a "tosser" is though. I'm sure it's something nice. Like "wanker".

[BumRushDaShow]

33. Oh yes.

Sarcasm and satire. It's their language and they have mastered the subtleties of using it for maximum impact! The euphemisms are endless.

[Snellius]

35. I think it's what kept them going through the blitz.

That and their wit that cracked the German enigma code. Inflatable tanks to deceive the enemy into thinking they were real. Best spies of all time. During the war they didn't have much to fight back with. Their brains were their most powerful weapons.

[BumRushDaShow]

37. Well they'd been at it a LONG LONG time and well before WW2.

Certainly Shakespeare was a master at it.

[3Hotdogs]

42. Unfortunately, the spy thing wasn't all good.

Read, "Between Silk and Cyanide."

[DeminPennswoods]

38. "sex pest" is still cracking me up

...

[BumRushDaShow]

44. I like the one noted in post #36

"He acts like he was raised in a barn."

[3Hotdogs]

41. Yes, a wanker. "Toss one off" is another term.

"He probably went home to toss one off."

[Snellius]

46. Love "wanker" and "twit". Sound badass even when you don't know what they mean.

As in "steaming twit". "Arse" and "bum", however, don't have quite the same punch.

[Achilleaze]

26. It has to be said, over and over

He* is a colossal republican a-hole.


* republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

[onetexan]

27. The idiot looks disoriented

the Queen should have never agreed to meet with him.

[pansypoo53219]

28. a fat fux pa.

[BumRushDaShow]

29. This should be harped on over and over and over

Remember how the RW loons literally drowned us in a hysterical narrative about the horrors of Michelle O. when the Queen placed her arm around Michelle and Michelle reciprocated (which IS permitted by protocol once the Queen initiates it)?

[handmade34]

36. "He acts like he was raised in a barn"

(one of the comments)

[DeminPennswoods]

39. Cafone

is the best descriptor I know.

[3Hotdogs]

43. Poor Liz had to look at that fat ass.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

45. He showed great courtesy.

I mean, he didn't use a little hand to shove her into the background so the cameras would all be on him.

[Snellius]

47. Good clip. That's the nut job in a nutshell

And the way he puffs himself up like a peacock (or is it pee-cock?) and sticks out his chin Mussolini style.

[llmart]

48. That's what came to mind for me too!

Thanks for finding it.

He is so full of himself as all classic narcissists are. They think the earth and the sun revolve around them. I'm surprised he didn't let one fly - or maybe he did and that's why the Queen's nose is wrinkled. Furthermore, can he buy a couple new ties already?

Why oh why can't we have someone classy again like President Obama and maybe Justin Trudeau? The GOP seem to like putting up buffoons like W. and this creature.

[SonofDonald]

59. Watch his little hand

He actually slaps the mans arm hard enough to spin him around.

And get him out of the way so he could preen.

That one short clip tells you everything you need to know about dumpf.

[Paladin]

49. Why would anybody expect anything better from him? (nt)

[heaven05]

50. trump's open arrogance

stupidity and ignorance are sure to catch up with him one day. I hope it is soon. Go Bob!

[iluvtennis]

51. A-hole. He should have shown deference for the simple fact that she is a lady, let alone the queen.

He often walks in front on Melania. I'll never forget when the fake president elect went to WH for the meeting with Obama and Trump didn't help Melania up the stairs and Obama assisted here.

[Judi Lynn]

64. Wow. Still painful to watch. Thank God the Obamas could remind her that human beings are still here.

Had Trump been there by himself, he still stomped up the stairs too fast for dignity, anyway.

Maybe he had heard they were treating him to extra Fish Fillets and chocolate cake.

[samnsara]

52. this was the funniest clip..esp seeing her blue hat bob back and forth behind him...

..just showed the world what an idiot he is.

[Sunlei]

54. I read during the tea the Queen let her dogs in to annoy trump the dog hater, hehe!

Contrast trumps first (and last) visit with the multi visits of the Queens Family friends-

[dawnie51]

55. What did they think would happen?

Dump totally knew and planned that little move. He loves this crap. If he thought he could have, he'd have stuck out his foot to trip her. But she should never have met him in the first place. Assholes don't adjust their behavior, they are just assholes.

[Sunlei]

57. took two! years for trump to see the Queen. remember he wanted to visit first week?

Trump wanted to "copy Obama" and address Parliament the first week he was in office and was told no, that is only for Statesmen.

Published on May 25, 2011


In an address to Parliament, President Obama discusses how the special relationship between the United States and Great Britain can continue to help the two nations serve as catalysts for global action as the world faces a new series of threats and challenges. May 25, 2011.

63. Helpful post. Hadn't known. Very satisfying to learn now. Thanks. n/t

56. The look on her face in the second picture!

[left-of-center2012]

58. I expected him to ride in a golf cart as the Queen walked

60. Mr. O. Blivious strikes again.

[IronLionZion]

61. Countries should start a Travel ban on Trump and his family

and just refuse entry until we can sort this all out.
