But usually, a civilian, or s.b. without uniform does not salute. Or is that different in the US? At least I don’t remember any of our (German) ministers of defence saluting a general.

Nah, the president is a civilian and actually isn’t supposed to salute at all.

Obama was attacked for supposedly not returning a US marines salute.

Trump salutes a foreign states general - first. Thus indicating that Trump is the subordinate and no one seems to care.

The North Korean general was shocked when this happened.

The general wore such a dashing uniform, Trump just couldn’t help himself.
