But isn’t this simply the equal to the right’s false outrage over Legitimate President Obama’s courtesy shown in Japan and Arabia by bowing?

Granted, the asshole Тяцмр doesn’t show courtesy to our allies and is a complete jerkoff but this is just nitpicking. We have much bigger fish to fry. Treason fish.

I don't think it's anywhere close to saluting the general of a dictatorship, and in front of the dictator!

Being in the same room as the North Koreans is the traitorous part. Once he got in there, returning the general's salute is just a courteous thing to do.

Given that, if Trump would have initiated the salute I'd be on him like white on rice.
