King Charles III will host Trump at Windsor Castle for a lavish banquet and carriage ride on Wednesday, before Trump meets Prime Minister Keir Starmer at his country residence on Thursday.

In a sign of the pomp and pageantry to come, a guard of honour greeted the Trumps as they stepped off Air Force One at Stansted Airport near London.

The British government has been unapologetic about its efforts to get on the right side of Trump, whose mother was Scottish and who owns a number of golf courses in the UK.

But the British public will be kept far away from Trump, with the visit taking place entirely behind closed doors and heavy security.

Trump finally gets to meet the brother of that guy he partied with aboard the Lolita Express.

Unlikely. He’s been banished from royal events.

What, you guys didn’t get enough of him the first time?

No, but we know it’ll tickle his balls and make him open American trade deals. Easy and cheap.

Windsor Castle, yes, and 4 people got arrested.

Embarrassing. Shameful. Spineless.

Starmer will have a brownish orange tint around his face by the weekend.

Starmer literally gifted him this for a trade deal. Trump is cheap as shit.

Please please please be a sting operation. Charles pretends to knight him and “slips” or something.

I wish Elisabeth II was still alive. She would’ve trolled him so hard.

Only from the government. The voice of the people is decidedly different.
