But the Brits denied Trump one big honor. Unlike his predecessor, Trump won’t be staying overnight in Buckingham Palace, and instead, he will stay at Winfield House, the stately home of U.S. ambassador Woody Johnson. Yes, “Woody Johnson.” Maybe the most memorable diplomat name since 1920s ambassador, Hugh G. Member. --Stephen Colbert
It’s not personal, folks. It’s just that Buckingham Palace is reportedly unable to host the Trumps because of ongoing renovation work that began in 2016. Colbert as Royal Aide: “Oh, Mr. President, we’re so sorry. We’d love to have you stay here, but the chimney sweeps are cleaning the loo. It won’t be done until 2020 or, God help us, 2024.” --Stephen Colbert
The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, will not join other members of the Royal Family in meeting with the President, as she is on maternity leave with her three year old son, Archie. Oh, that’s sad. I was really hoping they would meet. I was looking forward to the new reality show, “The Duchess and the Douche.” --Stephen Colbert
Another story came out about President Trump’s visit to Japan. It was reported that the White House wanted the U.S. Navy to move the warship U.S.S. John McCain out of sight. Yes, Trump would have been enraged if he saw a ship with his arch-nemesis on it. That’s why the navy was also asked to hide the U.S.S. Salad. --Stephen Colbert
