Obama told this 90 year old vet it was OK not to stand. He replied "No Sir, you're the President."

This is why I wouldn't allow myself to be in the presence of Trump. I won't disrespect the office, but I can't respect the man. So I would run away if I had no other choice. It's also why I would never meet the Queen of England. I have no problem with her personally, but I truly believe that official class hierarchy is a human evil, and I will not give her office any respect, but I have no wish to show the woman disrespect. I will not be rude, but will act on my principles, and I will not tolerate intolerance, but will not not disrespect the institutions that uphold the greatest human experiment in equality and liberty that our species has yet seen.
