Trump Breaks Royal Protocols While Meeting the Queen
Jul 17, 2018
Donald Trump and the first lady Melania Trump together broke many royal protocols on their trip to meet Queen Elizabeth.
It started when the president made the 92 years old queen waiting for approximately 15 minutes in the hot scorching British summer.
In the videos, Trump can be seen turning his back on the monarch and walking ahead of the queen as they pasted the troops.
I’m not a monarchist by any stretch of the imagination but this is such an insult to Britain. Absolutely clueless, classless, thoughtless, lacking in any dignity and without a shred of respect. pic.twitter.com/RBFXe4yZ9H

Trump is rude to the Queen by cutting her off as they walk.

If I saw one of my teenagers doing this to anyone's grandmother ... we'd have a problem but you know what? My teenage boys would never do this.
Trump has not one redeeming quality. He's so disgusting https://t.co/8AjUL4kSIo
Trump breaks royal protocol THREE times: President keeps the Queen waiting for more than 10 minutes in 80° heat, fails to bow and then walks in front of her…causing her to shoo him out of the way. Classless POS.#25thAmendmentNow pic.twitter.com/oGPEmTCgqm

The American leader also broke one more tradition by refusing to bow to the Queen instead, he greeted her with a hearty handshake.
