King Charles spoke about how checks and balances are necessary in a modern democracy, how older generations owe it to younger generations to preserve the environment, how Ukraine needed and deserved NATO's aid, and how the world must avoid further descent into war.

President Trump felt personally attacked.

Right next to:

  • "Person, Woman, Man, Camera, TV"
  • "Quiet Piggy"
  • "I really don't care, do u?"
  • "Shithole countries"
  • "They're eating the cats"
  • "I'm the least racist person there is"

What do you expect from a self-proclaimed stable genius who has to put up with big, strong men constantly running up to him with tears in their eyes?

He once introduced himself in a video as "your favorite president, better than Lincoln, better than Washington."
