Although King Charles’ visit to the U.S. is intended to promote unity between the United Kingdom and the United States, the White House apparently decided the best way to promote that message was with a trollish social media post.After the king spoke to Congress about the importance of the NATO alliance — a perpetual punching bag of President Donald Trump — the White House took to social media to post a photo of Charles and the president with the caption “TWO KINGS.”The post seemed designed to polarize a nation that declared independence from England and the monarchy nearly 250 years ago. Oh, and because Trump’s imperialistic and self-aggrandizing actions in office have inspired various “No Kings” protests across the country.In any case, the reaction was predictable, with Trump supporters loving their latest chance to own those danged liberals.Trigger Alert! The White House has waited months to make this joke. Coast to coast, humorless liberals are seething, veins bulging. https://t.co/Fy5nUbOXSI— Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) April 28, 2026Meanwhile, Trump critics understood it was purposely designed to be a shitpost and mocked right back.The NewsCan't Wait.Neither Can We.Your SupportFuelsOur MissionYour SupportFuelsOur MissionSupport HuffPostMisinformation spreads fast.
