Even if it weren't the queen on her own property, he certainly owes an elderly lady deference.
Instead, he keeps her waiting in the sun, then bumptiously walks around and in front of her, blocking her way.

He's an asshole. Really. If we need more evidence that in America, inherited wealth is dangerous, well, he's the perfect example. Boorish, uncharitable, stupid, ignorant, uncaring.

AAArrrrgghhh. I want to go kill myself right now.

This ignorant, arrogant trouser stain has no clue how to act around his betters. I was shocked that HM even met with him. She certainly didn't need to. She could have begged off. I don't know . . . bone spurs ? But ever graceful to the point where I am wincing, cringing and wanting to die of embarrassment, The Queen was more forgiving than I would have been.

He kept her waiting - he likes to do this to people to show them how important he thinks he is - 15 minutes. Does he understand protocol at all ? NOBODY keeps HM waiting.

Then he walks in FRONT of her ??? Is this man devoid of any class or manners or etiquette whatsoever ? And the entire time, he is strutting around with his jacket unbuttoned, like he's at Marmalago. Was he raised by pigs ?

What a buffoon.

I have to take occasional breaks from all news cycles due to the childish rants and buffoonish crap that makes GWB's presidency look mature. I never thought I'd catch myself expressing "GWB" and "mature" in the same sentence.
There are days... OMG are there f*cking doozy days of denial, disbelief, anger, bargaining, but never acceptance ever since November 12, 2016, about 800 years ago now. Sometimes, just have to turn it all off.
Midterms are coming. Mueller is busy. I'm holding out faith that democratic US will prevail in 2020 with a strong candidates. Mantra, mantra, and let's make it happen.

No problem imagining why: just put a buttoned up suit jacket on that "baby" blimp.

weren't the orange disaster and his wife to curtsy upon meeting the queen? That's true right?

you must wait for HM the Queen to reach out to you first, almost everyone bows (for men, from the neck) and courtesies (for women, a slight curtsy is ok), just because it is tradition. (The Obamas did the bow and curtsy.) Some women will do the full, deep curtsy, but it is by choice.

That help ?

from both those bufoons yesterday, nothing. They both are embarrassments of the worse kind. And they supposedly are 'leaders'. GEEZ! Pigs in slop are more like it. Especially the one who is male.

I thought that those who were to meet/greet HM were to were wear gloves, I notice that melanoma wasn't wearing them, and I am willing to bet that the shitstain didn't was after handling his weenie either, pure filth on display with the lack of respect they have. Their capacity for respectful actions is in the negative region on a number line.

I could actually forgive Trump's breach of protocol. What I had a much harder time with was the fact that he looked like a complete and total slob through the whole thing. When I watched him walking alongside the Queen as they reviewed the palace guard, Ifound myself yelling at the TV, saying: "BUTTON YOUR DAMNED JACKET!" Instead, he let it hang open, revealing a necktie that was tied way too long! He looked every in the s lovely ignoramus he actually is.

It occurred to me that a more apt headline might have been: "Onslow calls on Mrs. Bucket!"
