What is the cultural impact/story of that helmet/crown?

Because Trump will see that and just think it's a king's crown probably, and I wonder if that was intentional from South Korea or not.

He'll get to know him very well sometime in the coming years.

That looks like a cultural heirloom and I doubt the president was giving it to him for that reason. Probably just showcasing it as is normal, except he's showcasing it to a swine with no ability to appreciate it.

No, he gave it to him. It's a replica of an actual crown in ancient Korea. He also gave him a medal bestowing Korea's highest civilian honor.

Not if you're Korea and need to play some realpolitik for literally existential reasons.

It's a very famous crown. It's well over 1,000 years old, used by a dynasty Koreans call the 'Thousand-Year Kingdom' because it actually lasted for exactly 992 years. And was important historically because it was the first one to unite Korea into one kingdom.

I have absolutely no idea why that mob boss buffoon is giving the American buffoon a replica of that priceless historic artifact though.

Pretty funny considering he and his swarm of 'MAGA-but-Korean-and-left' idiots are itching badly all the time to find a way to harm US-Korea relations.

'Realpolitik' for Lee means thinking that South Korea is much too precious an ally for the US to give up, so feeling free to stomp on the US's toes and insulting Japan at every opportunity while buttering up China and trying to cut a deal in propping up the North Korean regime.

Guess he's just getting a bit of cold feet since Trump is somewhat, well, unpredictable.

Come on dude.

Donald Trump ended the Console Wars. Of course he knows what a Diablo is.

Yeah, this shit probably cost them less than $100,000 total. That's nothing when the price of upsetting Trump can be billions or even abandonment of security obligations they rely on. They're surrounded by wolves and their former colonizer. Paranoia is rational for them.

Like ssjevot said, South Korea is stuck. They can't risk a tantrum from Trump nullifying any agreements they have because of their neighborhood of China, North Korea, and Japan. (Japan is technically an ally to them but the countries have a troubled history to say the least so not entirely friendly)
