Transcript:

An actual king came to Washington, D.C., King Charles. And without ever saying Donald Trump’s name, dismantled Trumpism point by point by point. Talking about limits of power. Talking about democracy. NATO alliances. We’re going to look at it.

At the same time, at another event, Trump standing right next to King Charles, struggling to read a speech, making bizarre jokes for which he wanted other people fired.

And then it gets even weirder as Trump’s Justice Department indicts James Comey for seashells. A sand castle, I would understand, but seashells? Come on.

Meanwhile, the official story of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting implodes, as it appears as though the shooter may not really have fired his gun at all, or not as much as was originally claimed. And then the bigger question is, what the hell is going on with Secret Service?

And later, Melania looks like she is absolutely repelled by Donald Trump.

And Trump’s up at 4 a.m. threatening Iran.
