Pompey would (and did) confuse the symbol with the reality. The symbol, the Eagles, didn't matter, what mattered was the substance, whether Caesar's troops were defeated, which they were not. Same with Trump. /2 - ThreadSky

The more symbolic victories he can be given the better. The man is a tv personality (and monster). The performance is all.

Activate King Charles, Balmoral, Wills and Kate, Buck Palace and the Coldstream Guards.

If that means no tariff war, great.

The very interesting question is: what about the inevitable protests and demonstrations? People would be very much within their rights to do so. But what if the 'greater good' is to let the government and Royal Family steer Trump towards a more beneficial position (for us, and the whole world!) ?

Or as that other guy who does The Apprentice might put it "a mugg's eyeful".

I was thinking the same thing with the King, get him working on Trump, Trump will love it

Perhaps, but Charles (and William) absolutely loathe Trump even more than your average person.

Sure, but I wonder how thick they'll be able to lay it on.

I’m thinking that Trump is dumb enough to not realise too much

Bit tough on Charles, mind. Poor sod.

Should earn his bucks, might make me a Royalist

Guy’s probably got terminal cancer and he’s 75 and an environmentalist having to flatter Trump. I’m republican-minded but Christ that’s a tough shift.

Finally, the royal family has some real work to do that might benefit the nation. Up and at 'em!

Not you Andy, not you...

Christ, are we going to have to give him the Garter?
