For a royal family that defines pageantry, today redefined the concept. Characteristically dour skies greeted President Trump as he relished an unprecedented second state visit with his second British monarch. OK, everybody [INAUDIBLE].

Matching the first lady's plum-colored Christian Dior hat, the president toured the grounds of Windsor Castle with King Charles aboard a carriage Queen Elizabeth II took to her wedding, laid a wreath at the late queen's tomb, and stood for a royal review of the troops, the largest ever. 1,300 marching in uniform, 120 horses, and a red, white, and blue flyover. Tonight's lavish state dinner for 160 invited guests included toasts to unity. The successes of the British Redcoats and of George Washington's Continental Army today stand shoulder to shoulder, brothers and sisters in arms, protecting the freedoms we both cherish. The bond of kinship and identity between America and the United Kingdom is priceless and eternal. It's irreplaceable and unbreakable.

But the carefully choreographed visit masks lingering strains.

Thousands marched in London against the president, who remains deeply unpopular with the British public, while protesters Tuesday night rejected the infamous photo of Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein onto the castle walls. And tense issues from trade and tariffs to the wars in Ukraine and Gaza will be discussed with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The Brits know the president enjoys being flattered. It's why everything about today was grander than ever before and why he was seated at dinner tonight between the king and Princess Catherine. There were several American business executives also in attendance tonight, including Apple's Tim Cook and the media mogul Rupert Murdoch, whose Wall StreetJournalis being sued by the president.
