Чарльз в США

[ratomira]

Король Чарльз сейчас в США, где шикарно стебет Трампа, причем, по-британски тонко, не прикопаешься, красавчик. Трамп и не понимает, что над ним уже несколько раз на весь мир поиздевались с британским юмором, и это только начало, впереди еще парочка дней визита...

Britain's King Charles III used his speech at a state dinner at the White House on Tuesday to poke fun at US President Donald Trump who, in January, told European leaders that without US aid in World War II they would be speaking German. "Dare I say that, if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French," Charles quipped.

“In just a few weeks, the United States and Canada will be among those to welcome the world as hosts of the FIFA World Cup. So in one sense, Mr. President, as heads of state, we are joint hosts.”

Он ему напомнил, что он как-никак Король Канады, Австралии и глава Commonwealth.

И еще там была шутка про восточное крыло Белого дома и 1814 год.

Charles first joked about Trump’s new White House East Wing ballroom project, comparing it to the British burning of the White House in 1814.

He quipped: “On this occasion, I cannot help noticing the readjustments to the East Wing, Mr. President, following your visit to Windsor Castle last year. And I'm sorry to say that we British, of course, made our own small attempt at real estate redevelopment of the White House in 1814.”

British forces burned the White House and several other government buildings in August 1814, during the War of 1812.

Charles also drew laughs as he gifted Trump a bell from the HMS Trump, a submarine launched from a UK shipyard in 1944 during World War II.

“May it stand as a testimony to our nation's shared history and shining future - and should you ever need to get hold of us, just give us a ring,” he said.

Regarding the recent trip to the moon by the Nasa-led Artemis II, Charles quipped: “Now, I know you have big plans for the Moon, Mr President, but I’ve actually checked the papers and I rather suspect it is already part of the Commonwealth, I’m afraid.”

The King then discussed the upcoming World Cup, which will be hosted jointly by the US, Mexico and Canada - reminding Trump he was also head of state of a host nation, as King of Canada.

He said: “In just a few weeks, the United States and Canada will be among those to welcome the world as hosts of the FIFA World Cup. So in one sense, Mr President, as Heads of State, we are joint hosts.

“We call this game ‘Football’, Mr. President. And I can only say as the Head of State of five competing countries, I will be watching the matches closely and with great enthusiasm. After all, we always like favourable odds.”

Finally, Charles joked about the Boston Tea Party, calling the dinner a significant improvement.

During the War of Independence in 1773, revolutionaries boarded British ships in Boston harbour dumping 342 chests of tea into the water in a protest against colonial tax.

The King said: “Thank you, Mr. President and Mrs. Trump, for your splendid dinner this evening, which, may I say, is a very considerable improvement on the Boston Tea Party.

“Whether your cup contains tea, wine, scotch whiskey, bourbon or even Cola, let us raise our glasses and voices as we toast the past, the present and the future of our two proud and allied nations.
