At a grand state banquet last night, Donald Trump ventured into political territory, disregarding royal protocol in his speech. The US President embraced the opulence of the dinner at Windsor Castle’s St George’s Hall, captivating 160 guests with remarks that sparked intrigue.
Seated beside King Charles, Trump delivered a speech that included a veiled reference to “free speech” and a comment about the perpetual presence of the Union Jack, hinting at UK political matters. He also indirectly criticized former President Joe Biden, asserting that the US was in a dire state before his second term.
Expressing admiration for Princess Kate, Trump highlighted the honor of being the first American president to attend such an event, possibly the last. He lauded the King’s dedication to preserving British traditions and praised Prince of Wales for his promising future.
Acknowledging the significant historical and cultural ties between the US and the UK, Trump emphasized the enduring bond that defines the “special relationship.” He credited the British Empire for laying the groundwork for principles of law, liberty, and free speech worldwide, including in America.
In a toast to the strong friendship between the two nations, Trump commended King Charles III and the Queen, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to be part of the occasion. The event underscored the shared values and heritage that unite the English-speaking world.
By recognizing the contributions of both countries to global progress and pledging to uphold their shared legacy, Trump reiterated the commitment to standing together in defense of common principles and people.
