Kudos to someone in London

 



UPDATE 09/17/2025:

The images on the castle, where King Charles is scheduled to host Trump during his state visit to the UK, were labelled a “public stunt” by police. The projection was reportedly done by campaign group Led by Donkeys.

Arrests were made on suspicions of malicious communications following the “unauthorised projection”. Images of Prince Andrew , who has also been linked to Epstein, were displayed too.

Trump’s UK visit has already been met with a range of protests across the country.

President Trump and the first lady, Melania Trump, were greeted by the British royal family on Wednesday at Windsor Castle outside London, beginning a two-day state visit swaddled in the kind of pomp and grandeur that so thrills this president.

The state visit is part of an effort by the British government to engage with a president who has returned to office less interested than ever in maintaining the post-World War II order, and possibly divert him on key issues affecting the two nations. The fact that Mr. Trump has been invited to Britain for a second state visit — after his first in 2019 — is itself a rare diplomatic gesture that no other American president has enjoyed.

The Trumps traveled by helicopter from London to Windsor, where they were received by King Charles III. Mr. Trump and the King rode in a horse-drawn carriage through the Windsor estate as Queen Camilla and Mrs. Trump followed in a separate carriage. The state dinner at the 900-year-old castle will take place on Wednesday night. A number of Trump officials, friends and allies have traveled to England to attend.

To be fair, the first time Trump was invited was under Queen Elizabeth, but shame on King Charles. I understand playing to Trump's vanity to get what you want out of him, but a royal visit is too much. Besides, he only acts according to petty grievances and whoever talked to him last. Somebody will come in behind you, so the thing to do is phone him on a regular basis.
“My relationship is very good with the U.K., and Charles, as you know, who’s now king, is my friend,” Mr. Trump said from the south lawn of the White House on Tuesday morning before departing for Britain. “And it’s the first time this has ever happened where somebody was honored twice, so it’s a great honor.”

[...]

“They say Windsor Castle is the ultimate, right?” he asked. (Buckingham Palace, where his first state visit took place, is undergoing renovations.)

[...]

After the royal extravaganza on Wednesday, the president is scheduled to travel to Chequers, the prime minister’s country estate, on Thursday to meet with Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The two leaders are expected to sign a handful of deals, and to hold a joint news conference.

[...]

Last week, Mr. Starmer fired his ambassador to Washington, Peter Mandelson, over his ties to Mr. Epstein. Both Mr. Trump and Mr. Starmer were expected to face questions about the ongoing Epstein saga.
Typical Trump with his nose in the air. The picture makes it look like Camilla has only one leg.

Hopefully, some British reporters will not be afraid to take on the Orange Ass.

Reportedly, the deal the Brits are most interested in making is help building nuclear plants.
