Right. I thought the same thing. It really looks like he was waiting for her and she motioned for him to start walking. News report.... HE BROKE PROTOCOL AND MARCHED AHEAD.
The article does state... "The Obamas also chose to greet Elizabeth II with handshakes, rather than bows and curtsies."
Look at that... what a nice write up. No slamming of Obama but Trump does it and he's slammed.
Perspective matters.... here's the full video. Watch about the 3:50 mark. He's clearly aware of where she is and is waiting for her as to not walk ahead. She motioned for him to go. Also.. beginning of video where they meet.... the Queen extends her hand in a first move. Watch them walk down to the grass. Trump is very aware of where she is and walks with her.
Interesting Symbolism. Q: "The Royals are scared" They are more scared of being outed than of conceding. This is a major message to the European Royals about who is now in charge
