South Korea Gifts Trump Gold Crown

President Trump received a massive gold crown from his South Korean hosts Wednesday before being treated to a dinner including “beef patties with ketchup” — in a nod to his longstanding culinary preferences.

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung presented Trump with the crown — a replica of one worn by kings of the historic kingdom of Silla — shortly after he arrived in the country from a stopover in Japan.

Lee also gifted Trump with the Grand Order of Mugungwha, South Korea’s highest honor, featuring a large medallion on a golden necklace.

A Korean translator told Trump that the enormous pronged crown, meanwhile, was a replica of “the largest and most extravagant of the six existing crowns from the Silla period.”

Wednesday night’s menu featured braised short ribs with American beef as the main dish, with sides including Korean staples such as kimchi and “mini beef patties with ketchup.”

During the South Korean visit, Lee expressed his gratitude for Trump’s outreach to the North Korean tyrant, whom the US president expressed a willingness to meet this week.

Lee noted to Trump that “on the Korean peninsula, a war is going on, technically speaking” and said his nation would increase military spending.
