What better time for King Charles to sit down over an expensive dinner with Donald Trump? There they are, just two old men nearing 80, each with vast generational wealth and a shared fondness for gold, spending the money of their respective taxpayers like it’s going out of fashion.
What better time, when the ink is barely dry on the ‘No Kings’ placards; when the president just a couple of weeks ago threatened to wipe out an entire civilization on social media; when the world continues to reel from the economic impact of the Iran war? It would take a real stick-in-the-mud to ruin this special vacay for the loveable snowbirds, but I’ll do it. Because the world is quite literally on fire, but on Monday, King Charles and Camilla will officially visit Melania’s new beehive on the South Lawn at the White House.
