Anadolu / Getty Images And people noticed a few very interesting things while he reviewed the guards during the ceremonial inspection of the guards. It starts with Sanae motioning Trump to keep moving after he stands in front of the band: Rapid Response 47 / Via x.com Then there's another angle where Trump salutes when he didn't need to: Right Side Broadcasting Network / Via youtube.com Next, he walks past the Japanese and American flags, where he's supposed to bow. Right Side Broadcasting Network / Via youtube.com Rightfully so, this shocks the prime minister. Here's a clearer look: Andrew Harnik / Getty Images Moments later, the prime minister waits to see if he will return, but when she realizes he doesn't, she bows in front of the two flags. Right Side Broadcasting Network / Via youtube.com Then he finishes the loop by continuing to walk in front of her until she catches up with him and guides him the rest of the way. Right Side Broadcasting Network / Via youtube.com Jeffrey J. Hall, a PhD. University Lecturer in Japan, posted on Twitter (X) that "When Japan is greeting a foreign leader, it is customary for the Japanese Prime Minister and foreign leader to stop and bow to the two flags. Trump didn't do that. (this is a video of a proper example from last month)" Here's the video he is referencing. Jeffrey J. Hall / Via x.com Of course, people had a lot to say about this: Left-wing political influencer, Harry Sission, said, "YIKES: Watch Donald Trump get guided through a ballroom by the Japanese prime minister. He's completely lost. Maybe this explains why Trump got an MRI scan recently..." @harryjsisson / Via x.com Another person said, "Bro has no idea what is going on. This is crazy." X / Via x.com "Trump violated protocol during his meeting with Japan's Prime Minister Takaiichi. He didn't stop by the flags, saluted the Japanese soldiers, and walked ahead without waiting for her," someone else said. x / Via x.com You can view the full video here. So what do you think?
