The Duchess of Cornwall winked behind Trump's back. What was she telling us?

When Camilla Parker Bowles, the Duchess of Cornwall, quickly closed and opened one eye behind Trump’s back on Monday, was she letting us in on a secret? Making a joke?

The president was on his best behavior when he posed for photographs that afternoon with Charles and Camilla. As the prince gestured for them to proceed to tea, the duchess turned in the opposite direction and gave a wink to royal officials and members of the press.

The sly gesture stoked speculation about what the duchess, 71, was trying to convey.

Camilla’s wink was seized on as a sign that these events are just as unbelievable to their participants as they are to outside observers who feel gaslighted by the president’s rhetoric.

Her knowing response to the presidential pageantry was the blink of one eye.

1. He was pretty nervous making remarks at the dinner with the queen last night as well.

He is out of his element.

2. Oh, yes.

He has no clue as to how to behave like a decent human being among people of high caliber. He is more comfortable surrounded by his mobsters.

Actually, he's been out of his element ever since he stole the election.

3. Yes that is very clear. He was never taught basic manners, much less the

kind you need in the job he has now. He has always had people who make excuses for him and tell him he is fabulous.

8. It was to let us know the royals are only going through the motions

and that behind Trump’s back they’re all having fun at his expense, because he thinks they like him.

12. He probably had just said something incredibly stupid.

Ugh, what an embarrassment to US.

13. Donnie had just asked her if he could have a hamberder, fries and lots of ketchup at the gala.

Then he asked her to pull his finger.
