Who is in his ear? Imagine the power. Trump is a functioning adult with acceptable cognitive abilities, so he didn't have this situation while he was president.
Edit: Note that Trump's cognitive abilities are far above those of most people.
The protocol should have been him returning a salute, he is the senior - the Commander in Chief. That is protocol.
That the Marine's didn't salute isn't necessarily the story, they may not do so out of protocol, or because they BOTH can't salute. The one Marine you do not see is holding the door with his right hand, and therefore cannot salute.
The story isn't his disregard/disdain for military protocol, it is that he has an ear piece, and has to be told to salute the Marines. He is likely in cognitive decline, which is why he repeated the command, and didn't take the action.
Exactly, the story isn't his failure to salute in this moment, but it's the fact that he is not in control of himself. He is also certainly not in control of the executive branch of the federal government.
I don't know too much, but I feel the marines holding a door might not always salute... Basically I think Biden's handler was just encouraging him to make a quick and casual salute to them, kinda like you might give a friendly nod to someone you walk by. Biden can't handle any of this shit because his brain is melted.

What a guy doesn't even salute them, he is such a tool. How long until he collapses?
I'd love to be near some of his speaking engagements with a signal jammer, and let him flop around on the podium, muttering nonsense!!
Think Almost Weekend-at-Bernies!
He cant read teleprompters. Lol. Dementia will do that too you.
