It seems like poor ole US president Barack Obama can’t catch a break.

While stepping off a helicopter, Obama gave what looks like a half-hearted salute to the marines lining his arrival area. What made it worse is that he had a coffee cup in his saluting hand.

The gesture quickly turned into a social media fiasco, and was dubbed #LatteSalute. Cue the hate:

“Embarrassed by president’s salute! So arrogant! #LatteSalute” wrote one user,@EmilyDickerson, on Twitter. “As an Iraq vet, seeing OB’s #LatteSalutemakes me sick! He repeatedly show disrespect to my fellow service members,” wrote@GeoKat.

“The worst part of this is that he’s using a disposable, non reusable cup! That he’s contributing to the 71 million tons of garbage in the landfill per year, that’s the real issue. Focus on the pressing issues, please, we’re choking the planet!!,” wrote janenebecker123 on Instagram.
