True Things 11

You probably saw this, but I just read about it:

Two days ago South Korea presented Donald Trump with a gold crown. This occurred on the sidelines of a global economic summit that Trump did not attend.

It's a replica of an ancient crown, and only gold plate, not solid, but it's not clear that Trump knows this.

Question:  Is this a brilliant dunk on Donald Trump by the South Koreans?  Even a little bit?  Trump was also awarded the ancient Kingdom's highest honor - the Grand Order of Mugunghwa.  Really?  I would be the last to poke fun at someone else's cultural artifacts, but - really?  This is the President who awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Ed Meese, a bunch of sportsball players, Antonin Scalia, and Rush Limbaugh.  So... ?
