1. Painful listening to TSF reading his message at a 4th grade level. Embarrassing

The outfit Melania wore was inappropriate, to be civil about it. Both of them are low class

wearing garish bright yellow dress. She looked so out of place, but that’s just her style I guess.

19. Just viewed it. Too much chest showing for a formal state dinner -- plus it's slit up

the side of her skirt to mid-thigh. Good for the Oscars or another awards function. Would rate it a three-quarter Guilfoyle.

Our President could not even put his hand over his heart whilst they played our National Anthem. Shame!

3. After seeing the king's formal dress, Trump has medal envy.

I'm calling it now. He's going figure out a way to get himself awarded some medals that he can wear.

4. King charles' speech full of history (that he probably has studied)

Trump.... had to mention that he's the only president who's been invited to a state dinner twice. And he actually said that a year ago our country was a mess but now its the hottest country.

TACKY especially in britain where boasting about yourself at a dinner like this is very improper thing to do.

No class.

The chat was having some fun.

The dinner was certainly opulent; some might say ostentatious. Trump must have loved the pageantry of it all. Melania’s dress was a showstopper, but it belonged at a Hollywood awards show, not at Windsor Castle. I couldn’t bear to listen to the speeches. Watching Trump’s sour face was as much as I could handle. I hope the staff check the silverware before he leaves.

9. Hope they run a metal detector over Trump before he leaves. Whole lot of gold in that room.

18. Not sure, but he did bring his own bedding.

One might think he is trying to imitate Sweet Daddy Vlad and his DNA paranoia. But, I suspect he soils his sheets on a nightly basis. Leaky adult diapers, apparently.
