It’s Wednesday. I’ve been watching the livestream of Trump in the United Kingdom all morning, and now all I want is to enjoy high tea 🫖 this afternoon.

In today's issue:

👑 IN THE UK

The royals *really* know how to do pomp and circumstance:

And President Trump appears to be delighted by it. He and first lady Melania Trump are in the United Kingdom today — and King Charles III greeted him with grandeur. Trump was treated to a ride in a horse-drawn gilded carriage while “The Star-Spangled Banner” was performed live.
