Queen Elizabeth gifts Trump a book by Winston Churchill on WWII that he will...never...read.

LONDON (Reuters) - Queen Elizabeth gifted Donald Trump a book by Winston Churchill on World War Two whilst Melania received a specially commissioned silver box with enamel lid during the visit by the President and First Lady of the United States to Britain.

The book written by the former prime minister Winston Churchill, who led Britain during the conflict, is crimson with gold-tooled decoration to the outer cover.

Trump will commemorate the 75th anniversary of the World War Two D-Day landings during his three-day stay and has already been treated to a display of British royal pageantry during a banquet on Monday.

The Trumps brought the Queen a Tiffany & Co. silver and silk poppy brooch in a custom White House wood jewelry box whilst her husband Philip received a personalized Air Force One Jacket and first-edition signed autobiography by former U.S. General James Doolittle.

4. :) His first thought must have been: "How much is it worth?"

As a gift from the Queen, though, he'll want it around to brag on.

6. the danger would be if he does read

and does not recognize that HE is the authoritarian despot who must never be appeased.

9. I have trouble attributing human characteristics like self-awareness to the MAGAcretin

He'd remain clueless as ever.

7. Churchill's quote about Trump's delusional view of himself:

"Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm." - Winston Churchill

8. This is all going over his head

The Brits are schooling him and I doubt any of it is sinking in
