Britain's Queen Elizabeth II (R) laughs with US President Donald Trump during a State Banquet in the ballroom at Buckingham Palace in central London on June 3, 2019, on the first day of the US president and First Lady's three-day State Visit to the UK. - Britain rolled out the …

Queen Elizabeth II and U.S. President Donald J Trump have delivered speeches at the Royal Banquet praising the enduring American-British alliance which was forged over 70 years ago during the Second World War.

On Monday evening, President Trump and the First Lady arrived at Buckingham Palace and participated in a procession with the Queen before dining with 170 guests from the political, business, and economic world.

Before dinner commenced, the Queen delivered a speech and offered a toast to President Trump and the First Lady.

Recalling that visits by American presidents always remind her of the “close and long-standing friendship between the UK and the U.S.”, the Queen said she was “so glad” to have “another opportunity to demonstrate the immense importance that both our countries attach to our relationship”

....

The Queen recounted that she had paid her first State Visit to the United States during the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the war-time army general, and said: “In his headquarters in St James’s Square, not far from Buckingham Palace, British and American officers worked closely together to plan the freedom of a continent, and it would be no exaggeration to say that millions of lives depended on their common endeavour.”

I bet President Trump never smacked Queen Elizabeth on the back and forced copies of all of his speeches onto her...

IMHO The Queen appears to look upon President Trump as if he were a son. It’s that look that mothers have.

Elizabeth II has been Queen since (a few months) before I was born. I always thought she was a class act.

Her successor, on the other hand, is a dipshit.

I’m not quite understanding the president’s short dark jacket. Is it supposed to float up that high?
I expected a cummerbund, but not the ‘half-jacket’.

Doesn’t really matter though. I’m pleased that he’s making a good impression there and seems to be enjoying the visit.
I’m doubly pleased that he has been properly protected thus far.
