President Trump was given a massive gold crown Wednesday by South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, who proclaimed a new “golden age” of the nations’ alliance.
Trump, known for his love of the precious metal, which he has used extensively to redecorate the Oval Office, also received the Grand Order of Mugungwha, South Korea’s highest honor, featuring a large medal on a golden necklace.
“It’s as beautiful as it can possibly be…. I’d like to wear it right now,” Trump told his host, who told him the award recognized Trump’s efforts to improve relations with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
A Korean translator told Trump that the enormous pronged crown, meanwhile, was a replica of “the largest and most extravagant of the six existing crowns from the Silla period.
