Summary

Donald Trump is upset after King Charles warmly welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at Sandringham, making Trump’s own state visit invitation seem “less special.”

Trump’s allies allegedly asked the British government to intervene, but officials stated the king makes his own decisions.

Relations may also be strained by Trump’s criticism of Canada, where Charles remains head of state.

The U.K. government denied tensions, reaffirming strong U.S.-U.K. ties.

Remember when Trump behaved like a dick to his mother? I bet he remembers.

As much as Trump is a dick, I think this was more a case of his being unwilling or unable to read. I bet the staff that specializes in protocols for dealing with other world leaders did everything they could to tell him how this event was supposed to go, but he was too dumb to absorb the information, so he just fucked it up.
