And yet the royals and British government rolled out the red carpet treatment for Trump along with some very rich American ogilarchs.

Is he “stepping down” from the Order of the Garter and the Royal Victorian Order, or just no longer using those titles?

The whole bunch are ridiculous, so much money spent on their upkeep. The institution should be disbanded.

How about an equal treatment of Clinton’s ties with Epstein? At the end of the day, Clinton had him at the White House several times.
VG didn’t kill herself.
