I saw a very few seconds of him reading his dinner 'speech' (while waiting for Nicole Wallace's show and immediately changing the channel) - what I thought I heard, with him speaking about the monarchy was 'unwaving solidarity', where I think he should have said/read 'unwavering solidarity'? Am I wrong?

I have such deep empathy for the Royal Family for having to put up with him like we have for as long as he has been around. At the same time, I am so grateful he is out of the country and is distracted or busy enough to have slowed down his reign of terror, even if briefly.

I care fuck all for the royal family. Dipshit donny thought he could act like his boorish self with people who do social grace for a living.

I don’t know how much they actively did, but the trumps wound up looking like the clods they are. I like to think they sent the royal tailor to get him fitted for that moomoo tux.

Normally i would avoid any thread about the royals but I’ve been reading all morning. I hate trump.

Having to listen to Trump who in the past talked about how he could have nailed his mother Diana, called her crazy, sent her tons of flowers and basically gave her the creeps. Trump also defended the paparazzi who took intrusive pictures of his wife Kate. He also called his sister in law Megan crazy.

This event was a golden opportunity for them to display what they know how to do best. I’m sure if we could have known what they were thinking, now THAT would have been hilarious (and enlightening.) We need a good photoshop artist to add in the thought bubbles to enhance our enjoyment of these pictures.
