30. The best scenario for King Charles is this

He goes to Toronto, or maybe Ottawa, and then he tells Chump to come and visit him there. He should say "I'm not setting foot inside the United States, so you come here."

Chump won't come of course, and he'll look like an asshole. I wish it would happen within the context of the World Cup Games. There's no way to predict the schedule, but maybe there would be a playoff of UK or Canada against a big team. Then King Charles can say "I need to attend this because it's more important than coming to the US."

If he did that, I'd root for UK or Canada to win.
