It's interesting to imagine how King Charles would "accept" this gift from the little Soldier of Orange. He would, of course, be as diplomatic as possible, gracious naturally, and invoking shared Anglo-American partnerships.
lessee....who else was notorious for looting artifacts from museums? Yes, I know there were a lot of cases. But one in particular...
from the Google net sifter
Yes, the 1964 film "The Train" is loosely based on the true story of a real-life incident documented in Rose Valland's book, Le front de l'art. In August 1944, the French Resistance, with Valland's help, successfully prevented a German train from carrying looted French art treasures to Germany by creating endless delays and red tape. The film dramatizes these events, expanding on the resistance's efforts to hold up the train in a railyard outside Paris.
The True Story
The Looted Art: During World War II, the Nazis systematically looted museums and private collections throughout France.
Rose Valland's Role: Art historian Rose Valland worked at the Jeu de Paume museum, which became a central storage point for these stolen artworks. She secretly documented the looted works and provided crucial information to the French Resistance.
The Train's Attempt: As the Allies approached Paris in late August 1944, the Nazis attempted to ship a vast collection of art to Germany.
The cases of Nazi art theft are also leveraged for some plot lines in "Hogan's Heroes"
But Lord Trump is "exceptional", so rules of conduct do not apply.
