Also. Civilian presidents aren't supposed to solute. Only presidents who served in the military are supposed to solute. Reagan and this idiot are the only ones who do it. The virtue signaling is part of their cult control

The news has won, I've been broken. I no longer give a fuck what happens to the USA. We voted for this shit.
I'll still vote, but I can no longer engage in this Outrage of the Day journalism. If you didn't vote in 2024 or voted for the orange pedo, fuck you so much. Which is most of the country. Fuck you all.
So the folks killing children in Iran didn't get a proper salute from the guy whose orders they followed. So what? To me this is about as shocking and emotionally devastating as Hitler not shaking the hand of an SS officer.
That's not the point here. They're acting like they support the actual servicemen and women, when in reality it's fake to appease the cult. Act like you give a shit so you can use them and the followers will keep licking the boot. He's a fucking draft dodger too. Just trying to use armed services as his personal army.
Same with how Republicans are all "law and order" and elected a convicted felon. Or how they'll say if you just do what they say, you won't get hurt (by police) completely ignoring the fact that being white is the more accurate reason the police let them go or didn't fuck them up for the same crime a black or brown person would go straight to jail or catch a beating for. ACAB.
salute with hat on, hand over heart when without hat
This is constructed as though it would be morally good to honour US troops who just willfully invaded another country for nothing.
When I've watched news from the USA, even the left wing ones, all they care about is the "six servicemen who were killed." Americans are truely the most exceptional people. Even on the left other countries are populated by subhumans.
Idk what left wing news you're watching but I've seen almost exclusively bitching about the dead school girls as well as the mainstream media (which I'm pretty sure is actually what you watched) ignoring the dead Iranian civilians in favor of only talking about the soldiers
Its not 6, its close to 100
President Pedo rapes little girls. Whatever else he does short of starting a global themonuclear war will be small potatoes.
Don't they mean 'cap'?
And also reservists who shouldn't have even been there.
meanwhile, melania's just rubbing her own tit like she's in her private bathroom at home... for shame, these people!
The president isn't military, he's not even supposed to salute. I know it's become expected, but he is a civilian. Ignoring that, the only disrespectful is the type of hat he is wearing. You're actually supposed to wear your cover outdoors, look at the actual military members in the photo. There are so many legit reasons to hate Trump we don't need to make ones up.
Correct, and as he's not military the preferred sign of respect is to remove his hat and put his hand over his heart. Like all prior presidents (whom have not served) do, and as other civilians in this photo are doing.
Trump has a long history of giving zero shits about signs of respect to the military though, so I'd say it's always worth pointing them out for the crayon eaters that still vote for him in droves.
Example of a different enfeebled elderly president that actually respects the military signalling his respect to the fallen:
Also just to further snub Trump but Biden looks pretty good in his suit, well tailored and fitted to him. Unlike Trump who somehow wears clothes more I'll fitting than mine, difference is I can't get my clothes tailored and have a weird as build.
There is no way you would want to see Trump in a suit fitted to him.

Isn’t the president commander in chief?
I’m not American, this is a real question
Yes. That's not a military position, that's a civilian position. The ironic part is, the military is commanded by a civilian to keep the military in check...

He took off his hat to salute a North Korean general though!
.Trump saluting a North Korean general. Kim jong-un looks flabbergasted in the background.
Doesn't want a breeze to come along and make him look like
Otherwise how he can promote his merch? Every occasion is the right moment to shill some shit
Oh sweet, looks like the US is getting it's own "Kim Jong-Un looking at things" style photo blog sometime soon.

~~fucked~~ raped ✅
Yeah. He did that too. Then he also murdered and ate them.
He raped little kids. I dont give a shit about the hat. And he sacrificed those soldiers because he was told to. He dont give a fuck about us knowing he is a rapist.
Ahh that's his formal trucker hat.
So far. The 6 that he's sacrificed so far.
The nasty thing was probably mad that he was forced to go and pretend to care about "suckers and losers"...
Not sure why Melanianus is holding her tit. That's not where the heart is located.
She has none.
Matter fact, none of these assholes are holding their heart.

Dumb shit Vance isn't even using an American salute.
so i'm not up on the uniform code recently, but since disphit here isn't in uniform shouldn't his hand be over his heart?

Looks like Vance is keeping his eyebrow from falling off his face.
They all look like it's their first time
Everyone is looking in a different direction. Is it like the cycling fan that just rotates to get the whole room and they're out of sync?
Apparently he sells that hat on his website and was promoting it.
People saluting without a hat on
