‘Has he been under the influence of barbiturates?’ Trump admits to not being able to meet a ‘record,’ and it involves Melania Trump
King Charles III and Queen Camilla are visiting the United States this week, marking the first British state visit since Queen Elizabeth II’s in 2007. The event has been anything but smooth. From awkward handshakes and even more awkward stares to uncomfortable silences and gestures of disgust, some parts of the event have turned into memes.
Donald Trump keeps putting on a show every time he gets the chance, as King Charles III and Queen Camilla visit the U.S. to remind the world of the long-standing relationship between the two countries. From lavish press conferences to public addresses and beyond. Overall, these events, especially those involving King Charles III, have become the focus of discussions, with some suggesting he isn’t having the best time on his tour. While several moments have been documented during King Charles III’s time in the U.S., one significant moment is currently gaining traction online. So what is it? You’ll find out.
Donald Trump goes big on breaking records
On April 28, 2026, United States President Donald Trump officially welcomed King Charles III and Queen Camilla to the U.S.. He stepped up to the podium and addressed King Charles III, and everyone gathered in front of him. While the event was meant to celebrate the long-standing bond between the U.S. and the U.K., it sometimes crossed into awkward territory, with many people, especially King Charles III, unsure how to respond.
As previously mentioned, a moment involving Trump during King Charles III’s visit to the U.S. is going viral online. Especially on X (formerly Twitter), the clip has gained a lot of attention. In the clip, Trump is seen speaking into the microphone, talking about his parents and their long marriage, and praising them for sticking together for so long. Then, he quickly turned to his wife, Melania Trump, and said that he and Melania probably couldn’t beat that record. “That’s a record we won’t be able to match, darling. I’m sorry. Just not gonna work out that way. We’ll do well, but we’re not gonna do that well.” At this point, if you look closely at King Charles III’s face, who’s sitting behind Trump, you can see him going through all sorts of emotions, clearly showing on his face. Yikes!
King Charles III gives a sharp rebuttal to Trump’s “German” joke
If you’ve been keeping up with everything Donald Trump has done since becoming president last year, for a second term, you might have an idea that in January this year, while addressing European leaders, Trump said that if it weren’t for the United States, the people of the UK would be speaking German. Although the UK didn’t respond to the specific comment at the time, King Charles III seemed to offer a rebuttal during his recent visit to the United States.
During a state dinner held on Tuesday in honor of King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s visit to the United States, he jokingly told a laughing Donald Trump, “Dare I say that, if it wasn’t for us, you’d be speaking French.” Ouch!
