When a Nigger gets wet, does he smell like a wet monkey?

Haha, that poor kid. He is stuck in a no win situation. Can’t break the position of attention posture without breaking protocol, and thus receiving an ass chewing. Can’t just stand there without your cover, either, and definitely can’t just leave it on the ground, without also getting an ass chewing. Can’t let the President chase your hat either, without receiving an ass chewing. In other words, no matter what, he is getting an ass chewing from the platoon sergeant no matter what he does. Ahhh, the military. Probably did the smart thing and just stood there.
Looked like a random act of kindness from Trump. The ‘proper’ thing to do would most likely be for trump to pretend not to notice and ignore it, but since he is new to this type of thing, he had a normal, kind human response and picked the kids hat up. Over on Yahoo, trump is being criticized for not following protocol. The faux outrage machine will find anything to get on him about.

Why wasn’t he saluting?
I remember when a Marine was saluting Obutthole and Obutthole got an ass chewing from the pilot for not returning the salute.
Marines do not salute when uncovered (without a hat on head). We also do not salute indoors (like the other services) unless we are under arms.

He is a Marine Guard to the president and he stood at attention at his post . The wind and prop wash set him up , yes he will be reamed out and no I bet it will never happen again . I also bet he stood his post watching his presidents back and stayed ready to stop a bullet for his and our president ! No matter what happens to him .
He probably just lost his hat and had to borrow one that was too big. And yes he will never let that happen again. If it had been Oblahma, one of the little quislings that was his body man would have made sure that the poor kid was chaptered out on a bad conduct discharge.

Mr. McGuire: I just want to say one word to you. Just one word.
Benjamin: Yes, sir.
Mr. McGuire: Are you listening?
Benjamin: Yes, I am.

Protocol issues aside, I’m with Gator on his comment, “Looked like a random act of kindness from Trump.”
Yes! Let me add this, “A sign of respect from the Commander-in-Chief.”

“Don’t come within ten yards of me or else! Just fucking do as I say, ok?!!”
Say what you will about Trump, however you can learn a lot about a person from the way they handle random situations. Like for example, when you go out to dinner with someone, and the waitress spills a drink, or an order comes out wrong. An asshole, cannot help themselves from revealing their true nature in those situations. Likewise, the person of character also cannot help but reveal their true nature.
I think this shows us all some insight in to Trumps character. He may not speak clearly, and have some issues with his new job, but when I see him perform this act, regardless of “protocol” in this type of situation – instinctively, his first reaction, my respect for him has gone up a few notches. He is clearly not an elitist, or his instinct would be “that is not my problem”. His instinct was, “this kids lid just blew off, and I am going to get it for him”. That shows character.
I once read a story, that in the early 90’s, that one day Trump was in his limo driving down the street and saw a bum getting the snot beat out of him and robbed. Trump told his driver to pull over, and went out and grabbed a bat and threatened that assailant. The Assailant was so surprised, that he just tucked tale and ran. Trump helped the bum up, and then offered to get him a meal. Don’t remember the rest of the story, or the source, and admittedly it may have been fake news (even back then), but if true, that is again another example of good character.
Here are 5 acts of kindness that reveal there’s more to the billionaire than just his big celebrity persona.
1. The time he gave sanctuary to Grammy Award winning singer Jennifer Hudson after three of her family members were murdered: When Hudson’s mother, brother and nephew were gunned down in Chicago, she put everything on hold for a while. She stayed at Trump Tower to grieve, where The Donald didn’t charge her a dime and also provided security for her and a few of her family members.
2. Airlines wouldn’t accommodate a boy who had serious medical issues, so Trump offered his jet to help: Three-year-old Andrew Ten needed to go to New York to receive some special medical attention. But there was one big problem: The airlines refused to board him because Ten required several different pieces of medical equipment on the flight. Ten’s parents put in a call to Trump, who then dispatched his private jet to meet their pressing needs.
Ten’s father said of Trump: “He is a good man. He has three children of his own and he knows what being a parent is all about.”
3. He helped save a family’s working farm that was going into foreclosure:
In 1986, Annabell Hill was in danger of losing her family farm. On top of that, her husband had just committed suicide hoping that his life insurance policy would cover the remaining balance that they owed. When Trump saw her tragic story, he decided to do something about it. Donald Trump, the New York real estate tycoon, helped prevent foreclosure today on a family farm whose owner had committed suicide to try to save his land. Mrs. Hill proposed to bank officials that the land be sold privately so she could keep some of the 705 acres. Parts of the farm have been in the Hill family for three generations.
4. After Sergeant Andrew Tahmooressi was released from a prison in Mexico, The Donald sent him a big check to help get him back on his feet: Tahmooressi spent seven months in a Mexican prison. During that time, he was beaten and even chained to a bed. When he was released, Trump sent him a check for twenty five thousand dollars.
5. What Trump did for a bus driver who helped save a woman from jumping off a bridge:
Darnell Barton was driving his bus across a bridge when he spotted a woman on the other side of railing, staring down at the traffic below. Barton stopped the bus and approached the woman. After one of his passengers explained they didn’t want to “see someone die,” he managed to put his arm around her and she agreed to come to the other side of the bridge.
After hearing about what Barton did, The Donald sent him ten thousand dollars.
Trump said: “I thought that was so beautiful to see. I think he is a great guy with an amazing heart and I said that man should be rewarded.
Clearly, Donald Trump isn’t just a good businessman, he’s a Good Samaritan, too.

I can guarantee that this clip is (has been) circulated widely among all the armed forces, and respect shown to the Marines (at least, intended respect) will be appreciated among them all. Why more politicians don’t understand this amazes me beyond normal limits.

Never in the history of the internet has a picture been more appropriate for the thread. Well played, sir.

The Marine? Saluting without a cover is also breaking protocol.
Poor bastard is gonna get so much shit from his Sergeant and fellow marines. Next time his cover will be duct taped or stapled on his head.
He wasn’t saluting before his hat came off.
where did you see that? I personally think Brian is right… he dropped the salute when his hat flew off, I’m betting.
My bad Maggie (and Brian). You’re both correct.
Marines do not salute when uncovered (without a hat on head). We also do not salute indoors (like the other services) unless we are under arms.
