White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Thursday that President Donald Trump was simply displaying “common courtesy” when he saluted a North Korean general earlier this week.
“It’s a common courtesy when a military official from another government salutes that you return that,” she said.
Video from North Korean state television showed Trump saluting the North Korean general.
“…and he was showing ‘reasonable respect’ by giving Vladimir Putin a hummer.”
Oh, FFS, He has never showed anyone “common courtesy” in his entire life.
I don’t think so.
Shorter WH version
We will make up any excuse for any action

Just what y’all would have said if Obama had done this, right?
