Please, no abuse but he's done a great job in the US this week.
I lived in Suffolk for a while and Prince (aswas) Charles visited the White Hart in blythburgh.
The guv'nor was very obsequious and bowing, said ‘welcome to my humble pub sire”.
I thought - sire ?!?!? This is 1980 mate.

I thought a state visit by King Charles to the land of Donald was so not right.
Almost like feeding the ego of the man and giving him many more photo opportunities to prove he is the main man.
But Charles and his scriptwriters have dealt with this very well.
Taking the mick out of the Trump administration with careful sarcasm and dry humour such that most understood it but Maga Meglomaniacs and Trump himself were too dumb to see that they had been mocked.
But gently delivered by our King also.
Politics is a truly messy affair today and its all about insults and teenage temper tantrums, in that most of us can't watch the news as these idiots puff their chests out and have little "my dads bigger than your dad" exchanges.
Haven't been the greatest fan of the royals recently either but Charles showed decorum, wit and class and clever word puzzles, which Trump would have had zero idea as to what the meaning was.
He has done well Colin. I agree with you. |  |

I was stood next to some old geezer buying fruit and veg at Tachbrook Street market, Pimlico once. Didn’t notice who he was until the humble costermonger said, ‘Thank you, my Lord’ as he handed over his cash. Turned round and was confronted by none other than the Chingford Skinhead himself, aka Norman Tebbitt. Talk about obsequious. |  | | |

He gave the wotsit a bell with his name on it. 🔔
Gone up in my estimation massively. |  | | |

I suppose the idea is that they are above politics but it came at a useful time. He has his faults but he is warm, personable and a good public speaker. |  | | |

I'll be honest I assumed first that this was about Charlie Austin, then Charlie Kelman on international duty. Was very confused for a minute. [Post edited 30 Apr 1:17]

You were confused, I thought it was going to be a thread about Class A unmentionables! |  |

Trump thinks these occasions are all about him but all he manages to do is show himself up time after time. His did the same to Charles as he did to the Queen.... barge in front of them. It doesn't matter whether you are rich or poor, have manners. Where the fk did he 'learn' his manners from and where is the self awareness?
An undignified, ignorant, rude, ill educated, classless, showman buffoon.
A lot of MAGA will not understand what Charles was saying as they too are ill educated to know the historical references but a lot of those in the administration will and I bet they were squirming having been served up on a plate for who they are.

I am also not a Royalist - but Charles played a blinder. And of course Trump got none of what he said .......
I thought the "if it wasn't for us you would be speaking French" was especially good! | | | |

Trump is the modern day American version of George III.
Constantly posting messages throughout the night, demonstrates a lack of sleep which tends to indicate developing dementia. | | | |

In a nutshell Juzzie
Plus the 'parler Français' comment, as referred to by Martin Soixante-tres above, just brilliant.
The boy played a blinder! | |

Another TDS thread. 😴 Trump could find the cure for cancer and the left would still call him the antichrist. |  |

It's somewhat ironic then, that he has incurred the wrath of the religious-right for recently trying to portray himself as a Christlike figure!
Only to point out that the image of himself in a flowing white robe standing over a sick man, with a devine light seemingly coming from his hands to heal the man, as a woman looked up praying beside them, was actually him being a doctor!
Our bad, that devine looking light must have actually been bleach, that Dr. Trump was administering, after a busy morning trying to attack the pope. | |

I done a job for Norman Tebbit once. I'm wasn't fond of his politics but he was a gentleman even offered me lunch which I politely declined. He had no airs and graces. |  | | |

I thought he did an excellent job under the circumstances. A proper headmaster's speech to the petulant children there. |  |

Considering how much disquiet over the visit there was in the UK, Charles and his advisers seemed to strike exactly the right notes.
Trump feels flattered but, to British eyes, he showed his worst side. Gentle mockery from our King, which would have gone over his head but making the point that those opposed to POTUS would have lapped up. |  |

To be fair I think it would have been a bit confusing if Richard Kone had gone there to do the speech? | |
