Donald Trump was reportedly told not to joke about one thing during King Charles’ visit to the U.S. This week, the monarch and his wife, Queen Camilla, arrived in Washington, D.C., for a state visit. Hosted by the U.S. President, the guests visited the White House. According to a source, the politician has allegedly been advised not to offer “fast food” to the U.K. royals. Meanwhile, Trump has often flaunted his “fondness” for fast food.
Donald Trump was told not to offer fast food to King Charles, per source
Donald Trump and King Charles’ meals should reportedly not include fast food during the latter’s U.S. visit. A source told RadarOnline that the president has seemingly been fond of this type of food. However, the monarch has often promoted “organic agriculture and sustainable diets.”
“There was a clear directive behind the scenes that fast food should not feature in any part of the King’s itinerary – it would be seen as entirely out of step with his values,” the insider added. They further claimed that Trump was “repeatedly” told not to even joke about offering similar items to the king. The latter’s visit should reportedly require “careful handling.”
“Trump’s love of fast food is well known, and in other contexts it has even been used as a symbol of his approachability, but in this setting advisers were keen to avoid anything that could be perceived as insensitive or discordant,” they said.
Furthermore, another source claimed that Trump’s fondness for fast food was often witnessed. He has allegedly served burgers and fries at high-profile events. Therefore, he was advised to be careful during Charles’ visit. According to the insider, food might appear to be a “minor detail,” but it would indeed carry a “symbolic weight in diplomacy.”
Moreover, in Trump and Charles’ case, their preferences in this department would highlight “two very different worldviews.” “One rooted in sustainability and environmental stewardship, the other in convenience and personal preference,” they mentioned.
