Trump Plots Stunning Insult to King Charles on Eve of Visit [View all]

President Donald Trump is reportedly plotting a stunning insult to King Charles III on the eve of his visit to the U.S.

-snip-

Trump, 79, is a vocal fan of King Charles, 77. That makes it all the more surprising that he is reportedly weighing up reconsidering America’s position on Britain’s claim to the Falkland Islands—a move that would go down like a lead balloon in Britain.

Reuters has reported on a leaked Pentagon memo that suggests Trump’s administration could re-evaluate whether it believes Britain should retain the Falkland Islands, a self-governing British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic, where King Charles is head of state.

The move, which the Pentagon has not ruled out, is designed as a response to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s refusal to help with Trump’s war in Iran. Earlier this month, Starmer, the head of the left-wing Labour Party, said the U.K. would not help enforce Trump’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

Always the dumbass. Sounds like he's trying to kiss up to Argentina, a country notorious for defaulting on debt.
