Trump embarrasses me sometimes. Biden didn't attend because the coronation of Charles III because no US President has ever attended the crowning of a British king, ever! it has something to do with how the 13 Colonies had to fight for independence against George III. Does Trump have an aid to vet his internet posts? Hard to imagine DeSantis making such a bonehead play.

He sure knows how to use public relations.
Just as good as the rest of the dems policies.

First, Charles is only the head of state of Great Britain in ceremonial position, so it would be inappropriate for the President to show up and recognize King Charles ceremony. At best, you might send a cabinet position to represent the US, if it is called for to be recognize.
Second, I think Trump is just getting his name out there to remind us that he is still around.
Third, the culture of the US has been lost on this point. Almost all the politicians would have heeded the Coronation, because very nearly none of them understand the US does not pay heed to the coronation of kings or queens.

Assuming their monarchy survives. And there's a chance that it may be dismantled by then. Charles suck.

Be grateful that Trump is criticizing a Democrat for a change, even if he’s wrong!

I thought Bidenskyyy would send some of his real carnival type freaks like Brinson, Levine, Jean-Pierre, Mayorkas, Blinken or Del Toro across the pond to entertain our cousins across the pond. Instead, the idiot sent Dr. Jill and Finnegan dressed up like the Zelenskyy Ukranian Flag. Thankfully, they didn’t refer to the new King and Queen as being “unique” as a couple of English Muffins.

No president should attend a coronation. Just because he’s Scottish, the U.S. doesn’t need to kneel.

His Majesty is good. No need for Brandon to show up and fart to the tune of G-d Save the King.

It’s ok. Bidet would only pass gas or worse and Presidents do not attend coronations of British royalty.

To my thinking no President should ever attend a coronation, a state visit is ok but never ever a coronation there is a Blood Debt that will never be wholly paid.

Thank goodness the USA turned its back on Japan after their little Pearl Harbor straffing run, December 7, 1941.

It would have gotten higher ratings if they had cast Harry as King and his controversial wife as Queen.
