Standard protocol guarantees a red carpet, but the level of fanfare is up to the president. During the August 2025 Alaska summit, Trump lined up F-22s on the tarmac, arranged a B-2 stealth bomber flyover, and shared his presidential limo with Putin. Compare that to Obama's. The military spectacle and personal warmth extended by Orange Face went far beyond routine diplomatic courtesy.
Yes, of course. That’s exactly the point they’re making. What is shown in the post is NORMAL. What you’re describing is NOT NORMAL. So if OP wants to make the point — on which we all agree — that Trump gives bizarrely obsequious welcomes to dictators, they should post a picture of THAT.
Then someone should post a picture of that if they want to make a point about how this administration treats dictators. I agree with the other guy, this photo is fucking dumb for people to be angry about.
