We begin with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung, who gifted President Trump with … wait for it … a gold crown.
President Trump’s new monarchical headpiece is a faithful replica of the largest known crown worn by a famous South Korean king (a real one) from around the 500’s AD, and which “symbolizes the divine connection between the authority of the heavens and sovereignty on earth.” In other words, South Korea just massively trolled all of Trump’s silly “No Kings” critics.
Trump did not try it on. At least, not in front of cameras.
Apart from free crowns, the President negotiated South Korea’s one-time payment of $350 billion as consideration for slightly lowering its tariff rate, which is a carefully calculated figure that Trump just made up. In other words, Trump created $350 billion in value for America literally out of thin air. Critics complained bitterly that it was a “mafia-style, protection racket shakedown”— but if gold crowns are any sign, the South Koreans seem pretty happy about it.
