This photo is disgusting. Trump is no king, even if he has royal delusions.
I thought that was bad, but then I read the speech Trump gave to welcome King Charles. It’s a lot of florid nonsense written by a very bad speechwriter.
Long before Americans had a nation or a constitution, we first had a culture, a character, and a creed. Before we ever proclaimed our independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts: moral courage, and it came from a small but mighty kingdom from across the sea. For nearly two centuries before the revolution, this land was settled and forged by men, women who bore in their souls the blood and noble spirit of the British. Here on a wild and untamed continent, they set loose the ancient English love of liberty and Great Britain’s distinctive sense of glory, destiny, and pride, and that’s what it is: glory, destiny, and pride.
The American patriots who pledged their lives to independence in 1776 were the heirs to this majestic inheritance. Their veins ran with Anglo-Saxon courage. Their hearts beat with an English faith in standing firm for what is right, good, and true.
Notice the white nationalist theme; America is a nation of British, Anglo-Saxon people, and that’s what makes us great. Never mind all those other people who built the country, it was English destiny that forged this nation. Never mind the principles of representative democracy.
Yuck.
Anyone want to bet that Stephen Miller was the author? Total Nazi shit.
I’m surprised Trump didn’t publicly call out Charles because the UK has too many foreigners in it. A lot of the types who like Trump are convinced the UK is one step away from being conquered by Muslims, and that there are already no go zones in London or wherever where white people aren’t safe.
Can Americans (and UKians) please stop dragging the good names of Anglia and Saxony through the mud.
Trump has just pissed off the Scots, Welsh and Irish. Not that as an Englishman I’m not pissed off with the dribbling fool too.
I bet his Scottish golf course gets a visit tonight.
Cultures plural actually. Lakota, Cherokee, Apache, Seminole, Hopi, Choctaw, Iroquois, Paiute, Comanche, Zuni, et cetera..
Then the colonisers and settlers from Europe and descended from same killed many of them and took their land and brought inslaves formAfrica to do the work and later woudl fight a Civilwar tokeep and some people still think thsoe Slavers weren’t too bad and..
Oh yeah. That’s just for the United States of America given there’s also Mexico with its Aztecs, Olmecs etc.., South America with the Incans etc .. Canada with the Inuit and Kwakiuti and Mi’kmaq and more.. So very many more.

I’ll take LLM AI generated for $1,000 ̶A̶l̶e̶x̶ Ken, but prompted by the White House Nosferatu clone.
@StevoR
Hey now, you really can’t blame the decline of the Olmecs on European colonizers.
Which isn’t remotely true these days.
Anglo-Saxon Americans only make up 19.8% of the US population.
And many of them are actually mixes with other ethnic groups.
They are a minority.
@ ^ Clarity fix :
… took their land and brought in slaves from Africa to do the work and later would fight a Civil War to keep those slaves, well, slaves and some people still think those Slavers weren’t too bad.. then there was Jim Crow and segregation and now Trumpism..
Seriously? Only (presumably European White) Americans had the “rare” gift of moral courage? For Fucks Sake. No. Just no.
Pretty sure Humans have had that since there were humans.
Also now seems too many of those in the states – notably the Trumpists and so called traditionalists of the reichwing – have since lost that..
Which was actually neither – well,it was inhabited and run and respected and managed by many different Native American Peoples anyhow.
That they called a tyranny and fought a literal war against to break free from..
Wait, do Kegsbreath’s DIE (Discrimination, Inequality, Exclusion – thanks to an FTB blogger) laws even let them say Pride these days? No other nation has senses of glory or destiny or pride eh? Fucking hell.. what utter crap.
Ironic that in the midwest the largest group was German-Americans.
During WWI there was lots of anti-German feelings, and during the 1920s all non-Anglophone minorities were supposed to assimilate because keeping a non-English heritage had become unpatriotic.
The indians had of course been subjected to efforts to extinguish their languages even earlier.
The Irish had reasons to loathe the Trump clan even earlier.
The psychopath dad Fred Trump was arrested by the (catholic Irish) NY cops when he participated in a KKK rally (the Klan regarded Catholics and Jews almost as bad as nXXXXrs). Stupid to turn up for a rally in a city with Irish cops.
I have been reading the King Arthur tales. In those days, the Saxons were the foreign invaders, and the local inhabitants were Celts. This was long before the Norman invasion.
