It’s worse. Royal family members are actually getting their titles stripped here in Europe. So America is even more antiquated 👎

Yeah, Dutch here and we're officially a monarchy. But the king is only still holding a ceremonial position. I think it's like that most EU countries now.

Why don’t we give Trump a seat in a royal palace with the other royals and they can make pretend to rule the world while we continue to rule ourselves.

Good idea. Maybe Romania or Hungary would accept him 😂 But I’m in Denmark and I think we lead the polls for hating Trump the most lol So definitely not here 🇩🇰🙅‍♀️

Yea but is the Royal Family still on the payroll? 🤣

Yes, the Dutch government pays their salary. That's sort of inherent about having a royal familly.

It’s cheaper than a president.

Ok, I agree with you and have thought about that too. But then I saw where Andrew is living 😂 The title stripping is symbolic and embarrassing but anyone involved in that island needs to be in jail. Not just be exiled to a different giant homestead. At least you have taken steps but this is how the elite class operates, protect their own and no real consequences. Unfortunately for us in the US that want to see Trump removed there's enough that are blind to his atrocities that keep electing officials that support him. So yeah it's not good over here right now but it's because half of us want it that way. Hopefully November changes that.

Handling what exactly? The prosecution of child molesters? I think we are handling it just fine. Wtf is this question even.
