Yahoo News is breathlessly reporting that President Trump was snubbed by the royal family in the UK because when the First Lady and President went to the palace, the only member of the royal family present was Queen Elizabeth II. Prince Charles and Prince William were not there.
I guess my only reaction is "Huh?"
The queen is the monarch. Her presence is all that matters. This is the rough equivalent of the press telling us that the USA snubbed prime minister May because when she came to the White House she met only with the President without the vice president and the Speaker of the House being there. The President is the one who matters, not the others. And, by the way, the vice president and the Speaker are much more important in our system than Charles and William are in the British system.
I get that the media just hates President Trump. I still think it's wrong for them to make up stuff like this.
