Heh, I “believe it”, but I can’t prove it. ;-)
It doesn’t appear photo-shopped, and good work was done
testing for that, but it’s low rez, and the other guy does
look a lot like Obama, just older.
And the Chicago shirt guy seems to have all the “right”
friends.
I think we have a handle on Obama’s nature, so I’m thinking
it’s more useful to keep after what can be proved.
In fact, the Chicago shirt guy could be part of getting this
out there for reasons not helpful to our cause. (Even if True.)
The NICE thing about these interesting times,
is we may actually find out!
(At the slowly grinding speed of justice.)

POTUS’s Full remarks to the Queen at State Dinner
PRESIDENT TRUMP:
Your Majesty, Melania and I are profoundly honored to be
your guests for this historic State Visit. Thank you for
your warm welcome, for this beautiful weather – (laughter) –
your gracious hospitality, and Your Majesty’s nearly seven
decades of treasured friendship with the United States of
America.
This week, we commemorate a mighty endeavor of righteous
nations and one of the greatest undertakings in all of
history. Seventy-five years ago, more than 150,000 Allied
troops were preparing on this island to parachute into
France, storm the beaches of Normandy, and win back our
civilization.
As Her Majesty remembers, the British people had hoped and
prayed and fought for this day for nearly five years.
When Britain stood alone during the Blitz of 1940 and 1941,
the Nazi war machine dropped thousands of bombs on this
country and right on this magnificent city. Buckingham
Palace alone was bombed on 16 separate occasions.
In that dark hour, the people of this nation showed the
world what it means to be British. They cleared wreckage
from the streets, displayed the Union Jack from their
shattered homes, and kept fighting on to victory. They only
wanted victory.
The courage of the United Kingdom’s sons and daughters
ensured that your destiny would always remain in your own
hands.
Through it all, the Royal Family was the resolute face of
the Commonwealth’s unwavering solidarity.
In April of 1945, newspapers featured a picture of the Queen
Mother visiting the women’s branch of the Army, watching a
young woman repair a military truck engine. That young
mechanic was the future Queen – that great, great woman. Her
Majesty inspired her compatriots in that fight to support
the troops, defend her homeland, and defeat the enemy at all
cost.
We also pay tribute to Prince Philip’s distinguished and
valiant service in the Royal Navy during the Second World
War.
On D-Day, the Queen’s beloved father King George the Sixth
delivered a stirring national address. That day, he said,
“After nearly five years of toil and suffering, we must
renew that crusading impulse on which we entered the war and
met its darkest hour…Our fight is against evil and for a
world in which goodness and honor may be the foundation of
the life of men in every land.”
This evening, we thank God for the brave sons of the United
Kingdom and the United States who defeated the Nazis and the
Nazi regime, and liberated millions from tyranny.
The bond between our nations was forever sealed in that
“Great Crusade.” As we honor our shared victory and
heritage, we affirm the common values that will unite us
long into the future: freedom, sovereignty, self-
determination, the rule of law, and reverence for the rights
given to us by Almighty God.
From the Second World War to today, Her Majesty has stood as
a constant symbol of these priceless traditions. She has
embodied the spirit of dignity, duty, and patriotism that
beats proudly in every British heart.
On behalf of all Americans, I offer a toast to the eternal
friendship of our people, the vitality of our nations, and
to the long, cherished, and truly remarkable reign of Her
Majesty the Queen. Thank you.

State Dinner Remarks from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II:
Mr President, I am delighted to welcome you and Mrs. Trump
to Buckingham Palace this evening, just 12 months after our
first meeting at Windsor.
Visits by American Presidents always remind us of the close
and longstanding friendship between the United Kingdom and
the United States, and I am so glad that we have another
opportunity to demonstrate the immense importance that both
our countries attach to our relationship.
In the coming days, you will see some of our most treasured
historical buildings, speak to the business leaders whose
expertise and innovation drive our economies, and meet
members of our armed services, past and present. You will
also travel to Portsmouth and Normandy to commemorate the
75th anniversary of D-Day.
On that day – and on many occasions since – the armed forces
of both our countries fought side-by-side to defend our
cherished values of liberty and democracy.
Mr. President, in your State of the Union Address this year,
you paid tribute to some of the American heroes who risked
their lives, and we owe an immeasurable debt to the British,
American, and Allied soldiers who began the liberation of
Europe on the 6th of June 1944.
I paid my first State Visit to your country at the
invitation of President Eisenhower. As Supreme Allied
Commander, he had ultimate responsibility for the execution
of the Normandy landings. 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.
As we face the new challenges of the 21st century, the
anniversary of D-Day reminds us of all that our countries
have achieved together. After the shared sacrifices of the
Second World War, Britain and the United States worked with
other allies to build an assembly of international
institutions to ensure that the horrors of conflict would
never be repeated.
While the world has changed, we are forever mindful of the
original purpose of these structures: nations working
together to safeguard a hard-won peace.
Of course, it is not only our security which unites us, but
our strong cultural links and shared heritage. Every year,
there are almost 4 million visits by Americans to the United
Kingdom, with a great number claiming British descent. And
with your own Scottish ancestry, Mr. President, you too have
a particular connection to this country.
We are also bound by the strength and breadth of our
economic ties, as the largest investors in each other’s
economies. British companies in the United States employ
over one million Americans, and the same is true vice versa.
Mr. President, as we look to the future, I am confident that
our common values and shared interests will continue to
unite us. Tonight, we celebrate an alliance that has helped
to ensure the safety and prosperity of both our peoples for
decades, and which I believe will endure for many years to
come.
Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you all to rise and drink a
toast to President and Mrs. Trump, to the continued
friendship between our two nations, and to the health,
prosperity, and happiness of the people of the United
States.
