Why does Walz do the Namasté gesture?

[HisArpy]

Every president since Eisenhower has bowed to heads of state when customs suggest bowing is appropriate. Also, State protocol doesn't say they should never bow to a leader it suggests they shouldn't. I opened the link and read to content I quoted back to you.

https://www.quora.com/If-the-US-president-visits-the-queen-should-he-bow This is the link you provided notice the part I highlighted www.quora.com you were indeed quoted something posted on Quora.

Here is part of the content from the link you sent: "Nobody has to bow to the Queen. It is merely what is regarded as good manners, proper form. It is the normal way of indicating that you have started an interaction with her. She doesn’t usually shake hands, because she meets so many people it would shake her hands off. So it is the conventional way of acknowledging that she has switched her attention to you, especially when she is going along a line of people.

The President, as Head of State, certainly has no requirement to bow. But it is the polite thing to do to a lady old enough to be his mother whom he is formally visiting in her own home."

Modern British protocol is basically codified good manners, defining what is to be done when the Royal Family may interact with several hundred people in one day."

What were you saying about only reading the headlines? Do you even read what you post??

Saluting an enemy general of a country we are still at war with is an absolute disrespect to 36K American soldiers who died in that war and this country. Should FDR have saluted Heinrich Himmler, Goering, or Manstein? Of course, respect for the military and military service has never been one of Trump's strong points.

You're a fool. You've gotten stuck in your own crapfest and refuse to understand that US PROTOCOL states that the President DOES NOT bow to anyone. You'll notice this is JUST LIKE the flag protocol that no other flag can be flown higher than Old Glory and the flag CANNOT be dipped in salute.

That past Presidents have done so doesn't mean anything, PROTOCOL says they're not supposed to. Period.

THAT is reality, not your bullshit word salad which attempts to bamboozle with a truckload of bullshit and clouds of smoke and then invoke a REALLY BAD TDS deflection attempt because this isn't about Trump and his salute to a foreign general. It's about PROTOCOL and you're all in on making it ok for the President to debase himself AND OUR COUNTRY in the name of "being polite."

The US is LOUD AND PROUD and you can take your "being polite" and shove it up your pandering and simpering ass where it belongs.

Ever notice how Arpy uses CAPITAL LETTERS when he senses that he's LOSING an argument?

Personally? I don’t want Trump kissing my daughter on the lips. Do you want him swapping spit with your daughter ??

Dam that Trump guy, running around and sniffing girls...

Oh wait...

That's true you can see it in movies or on TV but to absorb something so it becomes a part of you I think you have to be immersed in it.. Not always we often imitate what we see in the movies or on TV but usually, it is short-lived. It becomes a fad.. In Walz's case, the China connection makes sense. Before 1990, I didn't see any images of Walz using the gesture.

Do they bow to our President when they visit the United States?

Sometimes they do sometimes they shake hands.

You’re telling me that in Canada, Mexico or North Korea the American flag is going to be higher than that country’s flag? You are delusional.. How many sharks have you electrocuted today?

Here is the protocol via the manual, “Throughout the world, greeting and leave-taking customs may include handshakes, salutatory gestures or other specific expressions. If there is such a tradition, use it with host country nationals, foreigners, and fellow staff members. Failure to abide with tradition may be interpreted as rudeness or a lack of respect for colleagues.”

Fuck!! Trump was found guilty of ASSAULT!
How many cases did his wealth push aside
Donnies’s creepy weird kissing shit? Just look back in the past month!

Shit, you can watch him stalking Hillary around like a dog in heat during a debate

You're right, he was convicted.

Let's see if that holds up on appeal before we start carving it in stone. Mkay?

That's not what I said.

Please stop INTENTIONALLY misreading my posts just so you can spew your shit everywhere. NO ONE gives a flying fuck about your partisan hackery except the other trolls on the board.

And of course we all know the value of their support.

Harpy hates facts. He finds it impossible to be a convincing fake lawyer when people respond with facts.

This is the first time that I can recall you acknowledging Trump's convictions. Good for you.

His sentencing in the NY fraud case is upcoming, and that is also on appeal.

In the meantime, we accept that he was convicted and that it was also properly adjudicated. The appeals may decide otherwise, but until they do we can 'pen' it on paper as the results of a jury of his peers. The chiseling in stone can come down the road, as you noted after the appeals.

I'll accept the results of those. Will MAGA voters accept them if they are upheld?

I didn't misread your statement at all you wrote, "You're a fool. You've gotten stuck in your own crapfest and refuse to understand that US PROTOCOL states that the President DOES NOT bow to anyone. You'll notice this is JUST LIKE the flag protocol that no other flag can be flown higher than Old Glory and the flag CANNOT be dipped in salute."

We are talking about the proper protocol an American dignitary should use in another nation. That is the subject you switched the conversation to.
So we are talking about how American flags should be displayed in other countries. Not how the flag should be displayed in the good ol' USA..

You should have written, "You're a fool. You've gotten stuck in your own crapfest and refuse to understand that US PROTOCOL states that the President DOES NOT bow to anyone. You'll notice this is JUST LIKE when displayed in America the flag protocol that no other flag can be flown higher than Old Glory and the flag CANNOT be dipped in salute."

All that aside I quoted verbatim from the State Department Manual the protocol suggested dealing with greetings and salutations. It does give the president a mulligan when addressing foreign dignitaries. It says in the vest simplest terms, "When in Rome do as the Romans do."

This presidents should never bow is all republican bullshit and never more.

Facts are so inconvenient to the ignorant

When facts are inconvenient, you deflect to try and make things appear different.

Which is what makes you a fool.

US PROTOCOL is US PROTOCOL. Our flag CANNOT be flown lower than any other REGARDLESS of where it is flown. Which is why all nations flags are flown at the same height regardless of which nation's flagpoles are used.

OR DIDN'T YOU KNOW THAT?

JFC. You have to be the biggest fool on the planet.

The protocol is set by the State Department. The President has the authority to override it.

Yes. Depending on how the president frames their excuse/reasoning the president can very well override practically anything. For anyone on the PB not to know that now would make them…

… be the biggest fool on the planet.
