All Hail the Jokes: Trump’s UK Royal Tour
President Trump and the First Lady recently touched down in London for their much-anticipated state visit, and you can bet the late-night hosts were ready with their royal treatment of jokes.
Jimmy Fallon of “The Tonight Show” kicked things off by noting the unique appeal of the trip: “It’s fun when the first lady joins President Trump, because when Melania goes to Buckingham Palace, the guards try to make her smile.”
The humor flowed as hosts imagined the interactions and observations from across the pond:
“Trump really loves the U.K, especially because when he holds a little tea sandwich, his hands look normal sized.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Well, guys, President Trump just arrived in the U.K. for a state visit with King Charles and Queen Camilla. Charles and Camilla are Trump’s second-favorite king and queen, next to Burger and Dairy.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Over the years, Trump and Charles have actually bonded because they both know what it’s like to inherit everything they have. Besides that, they also know what it’s like to spend all day on the throne.” — JIMMY FALLON
“I can’t wait to see those two together: ‘[imitating Trump] So, Charles, let me get this part straight: You cheated on your ex-wife with an older woman? Is that even legal?'” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Tomorrow, Trump, Melania and the royal family will share a carriage ride. And if they’re not home by midnight, either the carriage or Trump will turn back into a pumpkin.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Oh, the pageantry! He’s just like Cinderella, but good luck slipping the glass slipper on those cankles.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
The Punchiest Punchlines (Trump the Tattletale Edition)
Beyond the UK visit, President Trump’s interactions closer to home provided more fodder for comedy gold.
“This morning, Trump warmed up for his date with the British press by yelling at a reporter from Australia who dared to ask about the billions of dollars he’s been raking in since the election.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Also, you think you’re going to scare an Australian? They live in a country that’s mostly unlivable desert. They have spiders the size of tennis rackets, but he’s shaking in his boots ’cause you’re going to tell on him?” — SETH MEYERS
