The Press seems to have got very het up about Protocol. And the UK really needs to remember that the protocol was created in the main when the UK was a (if not the) Great Power. People sucked up since they wanted something and now they mainly do it since it is quaint. Yes, most humans would be polite to a nonagenarian because of simple manners, but that is a slightly different issue.
This reminds me of when Europeans interacted with China. China thought that every other country was a mere vassal and eventually were proved otherwise at the point of a gun.
So the UK is leaving the EU. America needs a lot less from us than we need from them. So the President is a selfish, self aggrandising piece of faecal material. Germany, our other usual ally is pretending not to take over Europe, China has no love for us, Japan follows the USA not us any more.
If freedom to make our own destiny is what we want, part of that is our precious sensibilities will not be followed in the same manner they were 100 years ago.
