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.
