The British people are not very happy with President Donald Trump right now.
It’s understandable, no? The 72-year-old’s done some extremely crap things of late.
Threatening abortion rights. Separating small children from their families. Getting chummy with not one, but two evil dictators.
But above all else (well, above many things), there’s one atrocity the people of Britain cannot, will not stand for.
You simply do not mess with the Queen.
Of course, that’s exactly what Trump did when he and first lady Melania Trump met Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle on Saturday, the last of Trump’s official engagements during his visit to the United Kingdom.
Watch their awkward exchange below. Post continues after video.
For the Brits, royal protocol is not something to be taken lightly, or in Trump’s case, ignored completely.
In typical style, he took a metaphorical chainsaw to it instead, failing to observe traditions during his brief meeting with Liz.

Americans don't bow to foreign monarchs. Obama took a lot of criticism for this from the American people. While I don't think anyone so much minds with the Queen, it was especially when he bowed to Muslims that we got enraged.
If England wants to disrespect our president, who cares? Just another shithole country without free speech that jails its citizens for telling the truth and is flooding itself with worthless brown people. England and many of our other so-called "allies" can fend for themselves as we forge ahead with our new alliance with Russia.
The contempt Trump has for our allies and for women in general is disgusting. He has no tact or diplomacy.
