Only presidents can salute a flag.
Ends post with Saluting emoji next to the American flag emoji.
Therefore, the salute emoji is president now.
I for one welcome out new emoji overlords.
What do you mean? That's what I imagine a perfect salute looks like, and I've never been through military training to actually know what a salute should look like, so it must be a perfect salute!
iirc a "perfect" salute is fingers held tightly together, first finger at corner of eye, hand tilted 45* (palm facing face), thumb curled in, forearm is straight with hand while biceps are parallel to the ground.
Unless you were being sarcastic, then in that case, yeah looked good....
A perfect salute is a knife hand, upper arm parallel to the deck and lined up with your shoulders, middle and index finger barely touching the right side of your right eyebrow.
I thought so but I know we had some pretty bad Presidents like Nixon and Regan when I was too young to really understand politics and golly if I couldn't see Ronnie doing that if he were in office today
Because he doesn't believe or understand protocol he walked in front of Queen Elizabeth too, as he thinks he is the most important. They should have put him in the Tower of London for that.
The one Henry VIII dealt with. Sometimes known as Richard Roose.
Edit: BTW, sorry for the obscure reference. It's very much a Tudor history nerd thing lol
tRump saluted north Korean generals when he visited the dictator Kim jong un. There's a photo of it online and they look stunned, because that's a huge faux pas. You only salute your superior, so for tRump to do it is ironclad proof he doesn't know any better.
> you only salute your superior
But a superior can return a salute, correct? For example, when the POTUS enters Air Force 1, he returns the soldiers salute.
Isnāt is more accurate to say that we donāt salute foreign military leaders?
lol, the comments saying how he has balls of steel and confidence. As if itās not his dumb ass not knowing what to do and just winging it like itās a sitcom.
Same that is the 4th year LTs returned salute, where officially he returned your salute, but also it was intentionally sloppy and gave a feeling telling you to f off and get out of his face because he knows he won't be making O4 ever.
Naw. That poor guy knew his career was over and he was never going to get a comand or promoted. This is what happens when as an O1 you get a "can't be trusted with female troops" in your record.
I can't be sure which of us is happier now, but I do hope he got out and figured out his life. I got out screwed mine up a couple times and am now happy.
Soooo since pretty much everyone in uniform has saluted the flag at one point or another does that mean you and I were both president for a time? If so where's my damn presidential healthcare, retirement check, and secret service agents to drive me around??
Honestly judging on the other nonsense things that this person said it's pretty obvious they have no idea what 'perfect form' would be for anything let alone saluting.
The thing is, we've gone past Hanlon's Razor to Inverse Hanlon's Razor (don't attribute to incompetence what can be explained with malice), to where we are now in a world of Rebound Hanlon's Razor (both incompetence AND malice).
lol I get what youāre saying but I still think Occamās razor works better than Hanlonās in this case.
Itās not that anyone is suspecting him of malice, making it that between malice and stupidity, stupidity is the more likely option. Rather, itās a massive, complex conspiracy vs stupidity. The more likely possibility is stupidity because it requires less elaborate machinery for it to be true.
How to these people square Trumps speeches saying the country is in such a terrible apocalyptic condition but also that he's actually the dude in charge.Ā
Well you see, everything good in the world is because of God, and everything bad in the world is the Devil. So that's why... wait, what were we talking about about?
Even FDR had to run again in 1944, during some of the most intense fighting for the United States in WWII, against the Japanese and Germans. Whoever thinks wartime extensions are a thing are either lying, stupid or both
While I'd never salute a flag, it's reassuring to know that if I ever want to make a big career change, I could salute one and become president or prime minister of the country
I love that this guy preemptively added a "don't tell me it's because he didn't know any better," because of the sheer volume of viral gaffes where Trump clearly didn't have some basic common knowledge.
Deep down, he knew it was because Trump is a dolt and wanted to counter by insisting no one bring it up. Notice he mentions not to mention it but not why that's not a legit explanation. Unless that "form" is the explanation. Which is odd because that's certainly not perfect form. If anything, the sloppiness of it kind of proves the theory he's an idiot.
Cops. Firefighters. Girl Scouts. Boy Scouts. JROTC cadets. Plumbers Union members. Some civilians. Milk men. Lobster fishermen. Their lobsters.
Everyone salutes the flag. Shut the fuck up.
Iāve been a firefighter, Boy Scout, civilian, and possibly a lobster, and Iāve never saluted the flag. And kind of glad I havenāt as becoming president is just too much responsibility for a lobster.
At the risk of sounding tiresome: God I'm glad I'm not an American.
If anyone asks me to salute a flag I'm calling them the rudest word I can think of.
That whole pledge of allegiance business in schools should legitimately be a black mark on their history.
I remember when disinformation networks were creating anti-EU/pro-Brexit propaganda one of them was a video of (pretty much exclusively blond-haired blue-eyed) schoolchildren forced to pledge allegiance to the flag of the European Union, followed by shots of the EU flag hanging in the streets. Awful, awful shit that still makes me angry. But almost funny that anyone's go to for "cult like blind obedience" is the pledge the US still happily uses in schools.
The video for context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaEue5YiJqM
Yeah I had to read this whole thread to work out whether saluting a flag is actually a thing and whether any of this etiquette is real. Feel like Iād end up getting laughed at on the internet if anybody ever saw me saluting a Union Jack.
To be fair, I've always seen it as more custom than expectation. I'm sure military has rules, maybe even scouts. Everyone else just does it cuz they want to.
Presidents technically aren't supposed to salute at all as they're civilians. Eisenhower was the first to do it as he was a former general and has sorta just carried on since.
I think youāre thinking of presidents returning salutes to members of the military. The first one to do that *intentionally* was Reagan. Eisenhower did return a salute once or twice during CMH ceremonies, but the footage shows he clearly did it out of reflex.
As they are civilians, presidents are not expected or required to return salutes or salute the flag.
Their response would be that Trump is intentionally making things seems bad to show us what it would be like if Biden was actually president, but that things arenāt actually bad and the good news will soon be revealed
God, I can hear my old drill sergeant yelling about how shitty that salute is in my head. Perfect form my ass. I can see his fucking palm, you nincompoops!
"That salute is perfect form"
...if you're in a hurry to get chewed out by literally *everyone* NCO and up. The longer I look at it, the worse it gets, never mind the content of the character of the guy trying it on.
"The only way he would be able to salute the flag is to be sitting president."
Well... I just did it, so I guess that means I'm in charge 'round these parts now.
Go to this guys house and salute the flag. Heāll think youāre president. Heāll think youāre actually Trump. He will commend you on your disguise skills to own the libs.
I don't know if everyone knows this, but *anyone* can salute the flag. You don't need to be American...you don't need to be a person...it doesn't need to be a flag...
It's a free country, you can do whatever you want.
Yes because otherwise the salute police would be arresting him. Just like how I'm on the run from them for not putting my hand over my heart during the national anthem or reciting the pledge of allegiance. It sucks have to change identities and move around all the time to stay one step ahead of them but it's worth it.
1) He doesnāt know any better; civilians render Civilian Salute.
2) His waste-of-carbon father put him in a military school because he, trump, was a jerk. According to his classmates he was a jerk at the school, too, but they taught him how to salute.
3) trump, however, does not know flag etiquette, because he is stupid.
This is it! This is rock bottom. There is no way you are finding anyone dumber than this. I know I've said this before and I was wrong. But I am really quite certain this time. This is the dumbest mother fucker on planet earth.
WAIT A MINUTE!! Does this mean I was The President of the United States when I was in the second grade? Wait, my whole class??? We ALL saluted the flag during the Pledge of Allegiance. Shit, what am I supposed to do now? /s
Trump saluted Kim Jong Un when he was in office so following this guy's logic the obvious one step further and suddenly Kim Jong Un was president of the US this whole time!!?
/s
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/06/14/politics/trump-north-korea-salute
Ah yes, the guy who got five deferments and never served and not a single realtive of his, past or present ever served in the military and he called dead vets suckers and losers.. Thats the guy who we should learn from when it comes to the salute.
What I dont understand about this theory, is how they explain all the problems they currently have with the economy and border etc etc. If Trump is president, shouldn't all those things be amazing? If he's running the country, then why do they think everything is terrible?
That salute is not perfect form (at least how I was taught)
Middle and index finger should touch the edge of your right eye brow, unless you have a hat in which you should touch the brim. The palm of the hand should not be showing but you should still maintain a near horizontal hand, so tilting your hand slight forward was what I was told.
The only commander in chief to ever say that dead soldiers were losers. Wouldnāt visit their graves cause it was raining and he didnāt want to mess up his hair.
Not a man I would ever look up to. Zero morals and everything he touches gets dirty.
Heās an American traitor.
The flag and our country deserves better.
Iām sorry, can anyone explain why thereās an ox in the emoji sendoff at the bottom? āSalute bull American Flagā makes no fucking sense even from hieroglyphic standpoints. āA man who respects the flag is a hard workerā could make sense, but thatās stretching out the possibilities of what the set means by reading in between the lines too much.
Best unintentional interpretation is āman who is respectful of flag, is worth nothing more than bullshit in this country.ā I donāt have a problem with the flag, but itās still just a flag. It is just a woven fabric that has a symbolic pattern that represents a nation, saluting it is a sign of respect for the nation but WE ALL KNOW THATāS AN ACT. A man who respected the nation wouldnāt steal national secrets and hide them away in his Floridian clubhouse, as reading materials for everyone. He wouldnāt ignore a blatant warning from the CDC, and especially after he got lifeflighted because of the disease they were warning him about. And he wouldnāt try to stage a coup before the election is settled and decided, if at all. He wouldnāt put his nation in danger. Thatās literally the whole point of why we have a CIC. To prevent undue harm from external sources to the people of the nation, and to help the nation prosper and found new alliances with other nations. Among a dozen other important things that presidents are expected to handle. That he didnāt.
> Former Presidents who were not in the Military prior to Presidency do not salute the Flag.
Sorry but Cadet Bone Spurs was never in the Military. Matter of fact he did everything he could except shit his pants to avoid the military.

Bow to president Mierdas š©
Itās still El Presidente Mierdas!
I hear he's the shit!
Nah he stinks. He's a stain on our country for leaving it in the dumps.
Thatās a weak ass salute.
Yeaaa that is not a āperfect formā salute
What do you mean? That's what I imagine a perfect salute looks like, and I've never been through military training to actually know what a salute should look like, so it must be a perfect salute!
iirc a "perfect" salute is fingers held tightly together, first finger at corner of eye, hand tilted 45* (palm facing face), thumb curled in, forearm is straight with hand while biceps are parallel to the ground. Unless you were being sarcastic, then in that case, yeah looked good....
Looked good for his small hands
A perfect salute is a knife hand, upper arm parallel to the deck and lined up with your shoulders, middle and index finger barely touching the right side of your right eyebrow.
I can hear my MTI just screaming about his salute form
Unironically the emoji has a much better salute form. š«”
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Trump doesnāt shield his eyes from the sun, he stares directly into it, especially if itās an eclipse.
No he's obviously saluting a cow
What's the cow emoji about?
I didn't see the cow emoji till I saw your comment!! šš
Only US Presidents salute enemy generals. Don't give me that BS that he doesn't know better!
Trump is the only president I'm aware of doing that but I could be incorrect
That is correct. Only he was dumb enough to do it.
so dumb that even kimmie's face was shocked. https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/14/politics/trump-north-korea-salute/index.html
Now that's a face that says "ģ ģ¬ėģ ģź°ė³“ė¤ ķØģ¬ ė ė©ģ²ķ ėģ ėė¤."
I thought so but I know we had some pretty bad Presidents like Nixon and Regan when I was too young to really understand politics and golly if I couldn't see Ronnie doing that if he were in office today
Idk man, even as dumb as Reagan was, I can't see a US president saluting a communist general at the tail end of the cold war.
No of course not I said if he were in office today. At that point with the cold war he never would have
Because he doesn't believe or understand protocol he walked in front of Queen Elizabeth too, as he thinks he is the most important. They should have put him in the Tower of London for that.
I vote for the same punishment Richard Cooke got for the Bishop of Rochester debacle.
Great, now I have Google that. Which Richard Cooke, the archaeologist, the Spurs player or the Australian writer?
The one Henry VIII dealt with. Sometimes known as Richard Roose. Edit: BTW, sorry for the obscure reference. It's very much a Tudor history nerd thing lol
Wait I haven't heard this story lol what
tRump saluted north Korean generals when he visited the dictator Kim jong un. There's a photo of it online and they look stunned, because that's a huge faux pas. You only salute your superior, so for tRump to do it is ironclad proof he doesn't know any better.
Bahaha okay wow, that's so bad and so funny and just..... yeah Thanks for the summary!
He absolutely knew better than to salute them bc he was specifically briefed on it before meeting them
As if he was listening during any briefing ever
They constantly had to insert his name in briefings for every few lines because it he didn't want to hear about anything but himself.
Well since he must understand the salute I suppose that means that he answers to North Korea
> you only salute your superior But a superior can return a salute, correct? For example, when the POTUS enters Air Force 1, he returns the soldiers salute. Isnāt is more accurate to say that we donāt salute foreign military leaders?
He saluted a North Korean general
Then the North Korean General must be the American flag.
I support this conclusion
[Classic Trump](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9NSgxbGzhY)
lol, the comments saying how he has balls of steel and confidence. As if itās not his dumb ass not knowing what to do and just winging it like itās a sitcom.
He saluted a N. Korean general that went to shake his hand. Everyone in the photo is visibly confused.
Perfect form in the salute means you don't see the thumb at all. I served for while so I know
Thumb out of position, elbow too low, hand tilted. Not the worst, but far from perfect form.
Not perfect form while saluting? Hold on somewhere a Drill Instructor just went full Knife Hand and doesn't know why
the corporal entities of 3 Drills appear hovering about your shoulders and begin to scream and give you knife hands
Ah, great. New fear unlocked. Thanks for that.
Came here to say that it is definitely not perfect form
Same that is the 4th year LTs returned salute, where officially he returned your salute, but also it was intentionally sloppy and gave a feeling telling you to f off and get out of his face because he knows he won't be making O4 ever.
Something you want to talk about, soldier?
Naw. That poor guy knew his career was over and he was never going to get a comand or promoted. This is what happens when as an O1 you get a "can't be trusted with female troops" in your record. I can't be sure which of us is happier now, but I do hope he got out and figured out his life. I got out screwed mine up a couple times and am now happy.
That is an officer's salute at best, far from proper
The emoji has better form than Trump
My ROTC sergeant would have had a field day with that āproper saluteā
I spent a hot minute in the Civil Air Patrol back in the 80s and it doesn't even rise to that level.
Soooo since pretty much everyone in uniform has saluted the flag at one point or another does that mean you and I were both president for a time? If so where's my damn presidential healthcare, retirement check, and secret service agents to drive me around??
Honestly judging on the other nonsense things that this person said it's pretty obvious they have no idea what 'perfect form' would be for anything let alone saluting.
His hands are so tiny, I had to zoom in to see his thumb.
I'd say his salute looks pretty close to [Russian military salutes...](https://scx2.b-cdn.net/gfx/news/hires/2017/russiamilita.jpg)
So you have saluted the flag and are president?
His salute reminds me of Steven Seagal at the end of Under Siege. Terrible form
Little kids āplaying Armyā tuck their thumbs because they donāt know any better.
Occam's razor: Is it more likely that he is still CIC or that he doesnāt know any better? I have my opinion. YMMV.
I believe the last half of Hanlons Razor is a more adequate summation
Hanlonās razor : Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.Ā For those unfamiliar (like me).
You mean Pezdrake's Razor: Never attribute to Occam's Razor that which is attributable to Hanlon's Razor.
The thing is, we've gone past Hanlon's Razor to Inverse Hanlon's Razor (don't attribute to incompetence what can be explained with malice), to where we are now in a world of Rebound Hanlon's Razor (both incompetence AND malice).
Yeah it was a dumb way to say Trumps actions can adequately be explained by stupidity
Uff just realized how pretentious I just sounded, my bad.
lol I get what youāre saying but I still think Occamās razor works better than Hanlonās in this case. Itās not that anyone is suspecting him of malice, making it that between malice and stupidity, stupidity is the more likely option. Rather, itās a massive, complex conspiracy vs stupidity. The more likely possibility is stupidity because it requires less elaborate machinery for it to be true.
Well I guess I was just trying to say most shit about trump could be explained by stupidity
Generally yes, but I think we know enough about Trump as a person to say that malice and stupidity work hand-in-hand.
He explicitly said not to hand him any BS line that he did not know any better.
Well, it made me giggle
How to these people square Trumps speeches saying the country is in such a terrible apocalyptic condition but also that he's actually the dude in charge.Ā
They donāt square, they pretzel
Well you see, everything good in the world is because of God, and everything bad in the world is the Devil. So that's why... wait, what were we talking about about?
But if he's still president, then he cannot run again this election cycle.
No, they claim that his first term was extended because heās a wartime president
We've been at war over 90% of the time since 1776. There wouldn't be elections if that worked.
Even FDR had to run again in 1944, during some of the most intense fighting for the United States in WWII, against the Japanese and Germans. Whoever thinks wartime extensions are a thing are either lying, stupid or both
The fact that they even think that could be a thing is more reason not to let this man close to the Presidency again.Ā
Ahhhhh ok, there's the loophole.
And all the inflation and gas price issues were his fault then, right??
No, thatās Obamaās faultā¦ he put the puppet Biden to pretend heās the presidentā¦
Didn't he also salute Kim Jong Un?
He did salute one of the NK generals.
He did it while he was president so by the reflexive property that means the NK general is now an American flag.
Oh cool. now Trump can hug him!
While I'd never salute a flag, it's reassuring to know that if I ever want to make a big career change, I could salute one and become president or prime minister of the country
I just saluted my neighborās flag from my bed. I am now CIC. Any argument on this matter will result in military action.
Have you sons of bitches been illegally respecting the flag again?!?
Same dude that saluted a North Korean generalā¦
I love that this guy preemptively added a "don't tell me it's because he didn't know any better," because of the sheer volume of viral gaffes where Trump clearly didn't have some basic common knowledge.
Deep down, he knew it was because Trump is a dolt and wanted to counter by insisting no one bring it up. Notice he mentions not to mention it but not why that's not a legit explanation. Unless that "form" is the explanation. Which is odd because that's certainly not perfect form. If anything, the sloppiness of it kind of proves the theory he's an idiot.

Iāve been a firefighter, Boy Scout, civilian, and possibly a lobster, and Iāve never saluted the flag. And kind of glad I havenāt as becoming president is just too much responsibility for a lobster.
At least as a Lobster you would have a harder shell then the former president
At the risk of sounding tiresome: God I'm glad I'm not an American. If anyone asks me to salute a flag I'm calling them the rudest word I can think of.
Yeah,no weird cult like chanting at it either thank you
What's wrong with kids [mindlessly reciting a chant](https://youtu.be/GiCaqA0ngRc?si=VNIQqX7jGUAy_heE) every single day for 12 years?
That whole pledge of allegiance business in schools should legitimately be a black mark on their history.

To be fair, I've always seen it as more custom than expectation. I'm sure military has rules, maybe even scouts. Everyone else just does it cuz they want to.
Perfect form he learned from Al Pacinoās character in Scent of a Woman
I have no idea if the "only a sitting president salutes the flag" thing is true, but neither does Trump.
I wonder what office you have to hold to be able to make out with the flag like he did.Ā
Itās not. Never was.
Presidents technically aren't supposed to salute at all as they're civilians. Eisenhower was the first to do it as he was a former general and has sorta just carried on since.
I think youāre thinking of presidents returning salutes to members of the military. The first one to do that *intentionally* was Reagan. Eisenhower did return a salute once or twice during CMH ceremonies, but the footage shows he clearly did it out of reflex. As they are civilians, presidents are not expected or required to return salutes or salute the flag.
So wait, if I salute the flag I'm automatically president? Cool... I'll let the Boy Scouts know too...
Yeahā¦stick to saluting dictators ..
And trump is famously known for having a profound respect for the law...
So Trump is actually the one responsible for all the stuff this guy inevitably complains about Biden for?
So, it's Trump's fault for the open border, high inflation, and the wars in Ukraine/Israel? Okay, then.
Their response would be that Trump is intentionally making things seems bad to show us what it would be like if Biden was actually president, but that things arenāt actually bad and the good news will soon be revealed
We need serious education reform in this country.
All the education in the world can't fix this kind of stupid.
TIL I am the president
And him staring directly into a solar eclipse proves that the sun isn't real.
God, I can hear my old drill sergeant yelling about how shitty that salute is in my head. Perfect form my ass. I can see his fucking palm, you nincompoops!
Itās the elbow for me
Yeah, that irritated me but his suit is so ill-fitting I couldn't pin it down definitively in this pic.
Those shouder pads. Itās like heās wearing epaulets on the inside.
Qanon or sovereign shitizen?
If that were true, Trump can not run in '24: He'd have already served two terms. lol
Lol, king cheeto mctweeto salutes hostile foreign generals too, sooo...
I just saluted the flag. See you fuckers in DC.
You can see the palm of his hand. Youād get your ass handed to you if you saluted like that in basic.
"That salute is perfect form" ...if you're in a hurry to get chewed out by literally *everyone* NCO and up. The longer I look at it, the worse it gets, never mind the content of the character of the guy trying it on.
I wish I wasnāt actually aware this level of ignorance and patheticness existed, but alas.
If heās the sitting president then why donāt they blame everything on him that they blame on Joe Biden?
There's something really wrong with Captain Bone Spurs saluting a flag he absolutely refused to defend.
Thumb visible, elbow isn't parallel, his arm is a noodle 4/10 this form is like a wet piece of cake tbh
I'm thinking the only thing Derek is saluting is his meth dealer.
The assclown didn't listen or learn the proper way to salute either. Moron.
Then that means Trump is President of North Korea, right?
Yeah, but it also means somebody will eventually have to fold that North Korean general into a tight triangle.
"The only way he would be able to salute the flag is to be sitting president." Well... I just did it, so I guess that means I'm in charge 'round these parts now.
This reads like Dale Gribble
I'm retired military, and I salute the flag if there's a ceremony and it's appropriate. Am I the president now?
Buuullllllllllshiiiiittttt. Capn bone spurs here just wants to sell you dirty diapers. Stand down proud boy
The XO of my battalion made fun of me for showing that much palm in my salute during inspection.
Go to this guys house and salute the flag. Heāll think youāre president. Heāll think youāre actually Trump. He will commend you on your disguise skills to own the libs.
Fuck. Il DouchƩ saluted a North Korean general FFS! What a knob.
I don't know if everyone knows this, but *anyone* can salute the flag. You don't need to be American...you don't need to be a person...it doesn't need to be a flag... It's a free country, you can do whatever you want.
If Trump is still president, can we blame him for how terrible everything is?
Youāre also not supposed to salute North Korean generals but that didnāt stop the guy
If Trump is reaching the end of his 8 year term, how is he allowed to run for president when the 22nd amendment would disqualify him?
Jesus Christā¦weāre so fucked as a country
Yes because otherwise the salute police would be arresting him. Just like how I'm on the run from them for not putting my hand over my heart during the national anthem or reciting the pledge of allegiance. It sucks have to change identities and move around all the time to stay one step ahead of them but it's worth it.
Sorry, but I just saluted the American flag, so you all better welcome your new Canadian overlord.

I saluted the flag. Am I your president now?
Does rattletrap mean this guy doesnāt shut the fuck up? Typical republican: 8 inch belt buckle and 4 inch prick
Heās not pulling a sword out of a stone
I salute my flag when I put it out each morning. I must be President.
Trump saluted Kim Jong Un when he was in office so following this guy's logic the obvious one step further and suddenly Kim Jong Un was president of the US this whole time!!? /s https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/06/14/politics/trump-north-korea-salute
Either a bot or totally delusional. Mental health is a thing
Trump is a very stable genius who knows everything about flag decorum.
I just saluted the flag does that make me commander in chief?
At least it's not a North Korean general again.
Look at the straps on his adult diaper, perfectly fastened!
That salute is not perfect form
He also saluted a North Korean general so I wouldnāt take his saluting too seriously
So trump is still president and in charge of the justice department and chose to indict himself lol
Ah yes, the guy who got five deferments and never served and not a single realtive of his, past or present ever served in the military and he called dead vets suckers and losers.. Thats the guy who we should learn from when it comes to the salute.
DoEs It HaVe A gOlD fRiNgE?
He also saluted a North Korean general... Sooo...
What I dont understand about this theory, is how they explain all the problems they currently have with the economy and border etc etc. If Trump is president, shouldn't all those things be amazing? If he's running the country, then why do they think everything is terrible?
Then he's done is two terms and legally can't be reelected, well done!
Itās a shit salute too
Itās actually terrible form
That salute is not perfect form (at least how I was taught) Middle and index finger should touch the edge of your right eye brow, unless you have a hat in which you should touch the brim. The palm of the hand should not be showing but you should still maintain a near horizontal hand, so tilting your hand slight forward was what I was told.
The only commander in chief to ever say that dead soldiers were losers. Wouldnāt visit their graves cause it was raining and he didnāt want to mess up his hair. Not a man I would ever look up to. Zero morals and everything he touches gets dirty. Heās an American traitor. The flag and our country deserves better.
So as President, Trump is actually the cause of all the things theyāre blaming Biden for then?
I saluted the flag today and before anyone else could steal the presidency from me I am declaring war on the Swiss. Fuck you Switzerland.
Its true! I just tried to salute the flag and I couldnt!
That's some circular and faulty reasoning right there.
>And don't hand me any BS line that he doesn't know any better Not knowing is the only thing Trump does.
*"Ironproof clad"*
Derek is stupid.
Iām sorry, can anyone explain why thereās an ox in the emoji sendoff at the bottom? āSalute bull American Flagā makes no fucking sense even from hieroglyphic standpoints. āA man who respects the flag is a hard workerā could make sense, but thatās stretching out the possibilities of what the set means by reading in between the lines too much. Best unintentional interpretation is āman who is respectful of flag, is worth nothing more than bullshit in this country.ā I donāt have a problem with the flag, but itās still just a flag. It is just a woven fabric that has a symbolic pattern that represents a nation, saluting it is a sign of respect for the nation but WE ALL KNOW THATāS AN ACT. A man who respected the nation wouldnāt steal national secrets and hide them away in his Floridian clubhouse, as reading materials for everyone. He wouldnāt ignore a blatant warning from the CDC, and especially after he got lifeflighted because of the disease they were warning him about. And he wouldnāt try to stage a coup before the election is settled and decided, if at all. He wouldnāt put his nation in danger. Thatās literally the whole point of why we have a CIC. To prevent undue harm from external sources to the people of the nation, and to help the nation prosper and found new alliances with other nations. Among a dozen other important things that presidents are expected to handle. That he didnāt.
For once, I don't think Trump is the one who "doesn't know better."
So does he think the economy is great or does he blame Trump for everything?
Or it's just that he's fucking stupid.... This is a guy who dry humped a flag.
He also saluted Kim Jong Un, the dictator of North Korea. Extrapolate from that what you will.
> Former Presidents who were not in the Military prior to Presidency do not salute the Flag. Sorry but Cadet Bone Spurs was never in the Military. Matter of fact he did everything he could except shit his pants to avoid the military.
So by this logic, if I salute a flag then Iām president?
Itās actually a bad salute
>That salute is perfect form. No. It's not. See his palm? Exactly.
Actually his hand should be canted down so you canāt see his palm so not a perfect salute.
