White House Captions Photo Of Trump And King Charles As 'Two Kings'

The speeches are set to be followed by a state dinner at the White House, during which both Charles and Trump are expected to give toasts amid white-tie formality, CNN reported. Both of Trump's hands appeared to be covered in makeup in photos with Charles III, whose own hands appeared red and swollen during the meeting. Trump has typically just had bruising on his right hand, which he and the White House have attributed to frequent handshakes and daily aspirin use. Trump and his administration have compared the president to high-profile figures throughout his second term. Last year, the White House account on X posted what appeared to be an AI image of Trump wearing a crown on a spoof Time Magazine cover captioned, "LONG LIVE THE KING." The president also said "LONG LIVE THE KING" in a post last year boasting about his efforts to block New York City's congestion pricing program. Trump found himself in hot water this month after posting another AI photo depicting himself as Jesus Christ. The post was made around the same time Trump and Vice President JD Vance traded critical comments with Pope Leo XIV, who had recently spoken out about the war in Iran.
