Donald Trump may have drawn hundreds of thousands of demonstrators; he may have made a cardinal error by attacking British leader Theresa May before he met her. He may have thought Ireland was in the UK and Scotland was not.
But he got one important thing right on his visit to Britain. He refused to bow his head when meeting the Queen, and Melania did not curtsey.
Call me old fashioned, but I believe in this Republic and what it stands for -- equality for all. Our constitution was written so that foreign kings like George 111 would never hold sway over our land.
That means no bowing and scraping to monarchs.
The British tabloids of course got their knickers in a twist. They explained the rules and what actually happened.

Give credit to the Queen too for her subtle but in his face message to Trump by wearing a broach given to her by the Obamas
ReplyDeleteThe Obamas did not give a broach to anyone. That's physically impossible. Brooch maybe, but definitely not a broach.
ReplyDeleteThe queen of England is a welfare recipient.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the British pay taxes to support the lifestyle of some of the richest white people in the world.
Trumps know --- Americans don't bow before ANYONE, except maybe obama and I'm not sure he is really an American.
OUR heritage is rebellious, anti-authority, individualism, and freedom.
Not subservience to someone who is in some position because his great grandfather was in it....
And Americans have lots of guns in case anyone thinks they can imitate that BS.
The British surrendered a long time ago to their own government.
Now, they do what they are TOLD to do. Or else.
Might be admirable over there, but here, it's considered sissy and weak.
Keep cheering.
You are so right about American heritage. Privileged Americans are free to be rebellious, anti-authoritarian and individualism. But, they lack the true meaning of anarchism, true freedom and equality for all people born in America.
