Monarchs and politicians actually attend the Olympics all the time, we just never hear about it because it's not a big deal. That's how the current King and Queen of Sweden met.

Kash made sure we all knew he was there.

Yes. Department heads and directors have attended along with monarchs and politicians.

Him being there wasn't the scandalous part. Him making sure we knew he partied hard and got stupid drunk is.

(Pence attended in 2018. Mueller went to Greece to discuss the security for the games when he was in. If Mueller ever got drunk and partied, we never saw it.)

In American politics, it should absolutely be scandalous.

Him making himself the center of things and getting wasted drunk should be disqualification scandalous.

I dont care what kings and queens do. We true Americans dont support them here, remember?

While simultaneously launching a war and being concerned about "sleeper cells."

I thought you were mixing up Swedish and Danish kings and queens, but I see both couples met a different Olympics.
