I'll add that the meaning re ice-caps, is that climate change is real, stop trying to make it worse.
PorneliusHubertII
I listened to his speech, the message wasnt "hidden" it was clear to anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together.
Quixus
I wonder wasn't that speech written by the UK government i.e. not himself?

To be roasted in the most elegant & eloquent way by a True Monarch is the best burn.
blackpete
None of it was hidden, this is expensive
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Pearls before swine.

Yeah hidden messages don't work over here. I appreciate the sentiment, though
7hatsBollocks
Luckily it's not hidden at all.

Trump is 50% dementia, 50% so narcissistic that I'll bet nothing from the speech went into his head. Vance probably asked if King Charles had thanked Trump though.
Jandegrote
I am going to assume the "hidden burns" are going to be wasted doubt the Americans this is targeted at can even understand half the words he used way to fancy.
TrueNorthernLights
Sad thing is Republicunts literally hear what they want to hear. I can guarantee they heard "America is awesome, you guys did the right thing going after Iran-I wish we had done that" and "The rest of the world is jealous."
urusername2
Well done!
Resistance1000
His comment about serving in the Royal Navy as did his father, grandfather, etc was also a reminder that President Bone Spurs did not serve and neither has, nor will, any of his putrid spawn.
bittenicht39
Trump‘s grandfather emigrated to the US to dodge military service in Germany. It‘s a family trait.
MrTenant2
What is this? Interpretation of British English to American English?
crateo
Oh, golly! Not quite!
southoffrance
He mentioned his great-uncle Lord Mountbatten. A paedophile.

The Trump admin does not really think of themselves as the same entity that received help in 2001, so they do not care about any perceived debt or international loyalty. They want to rule the country but do not really understand the concept, let alone why a country would need allies in other countries.
sirdeadlock2
If I recall correctly, the king lives in Windsor castle. I don't remember what Buckingham Palace is used for.
criggie
#2 he's just listing battleships as family members
lonelyrangerofthedreams
Nice.
Correct.
Fuck Trump and MAGAs
Fuck the king anyway.
fcib
Queen's Gambit.
RedSkizzers
There was no hidden message, he said it openly. He just used big words that lost 90% of the crowd
raberscoob
Wow so brave! So smart! This will surely have an effect on anything at all!
AlysObv
#2 What he meant is "you and your ancestors are cowards".
HolyFreakingToast
the dems gave some standing ovations for pointing out our deficits, and the GOP was forced to stand and clap!
- co-equal branches of government - checks and balances
- supporting ukraine and democracy

Not a single American politician understood what he was trying to say. Do the English not understand how unbelievably stupid Americans are, let alone boomers?!?
idrinkcheapbeer
I'm an American. My 15 year history here on imgur is here for you to peruse. I think I'm pretty informed on geo political topics. I'm 51. I was SO against Regan as a kid, when all this bullshit started. Don't give Americans a blanket assessment. I'm sure I could do the same thing about your country at a whim. What sucks is what is going on in the USA affects me way more than someone abroad, yet Im just lumped in with the problem.
Fentex
Unfortunately for you your fellow citizens have tarred your country with a very big "We're stupid!" brush, you'll never overcome it as a blanket assessment, supported by strong evidence.
michaelfire
NO KINGS! Read William Dalrymple's Historical novel "The Last Mughal". British Royalty and aristocracy via British diplomacy, espionage have been leaching off, destroying stronger Empires for 500 years. Colonialism. Why would a US President, Congress celebrate, entertain a corrupt King, royals, from the very country we gained freedom from 250 years before? Of course, the Orange Man who would be king! https://bellacaledonia.org.uk/2026/02/20/triple-failure-protects-the-windsors/
sirdeadlock2
America didn't separate due to a hatred of the royal family. It separated because parliament refused to allow American colonists to have a seat with them to represent the interests of the colonies, yet they were paying taxes to the British government.
michaelfire
Who said anything about hate? Royalty is fundamentally unjust, a violation of inalienable human rights. Fundamentally oppressive, illiberal, exploitative.

Americans need to be shown who the killer is at the start of a who done it movie they won't be able to follow a secret message

He's not doing so bad, is he?
lurkerthatoccationallywantstocomment
3rd grade social studies lesson that so many of our electorate seem to have forgotten, and given to the US by a literal king
NoCutsNoButsNoCoconuts
Not just any king. THE FUCKING KING OF ENGLAND
Whatdoyousaytoanicecupoftea
He's not *just* the king of England. Aus/NZ/Canada ...and a couple of others. Sizeable English speaking economic bloc
PantsAreForTheWeek
Yeah, he's technically my king too, eh?
Whatdoyousaytoanicecupoftea
Yup. King of smelly pants
Inkfinger
Well I didn't vote for him.

Here's the neat thing. Its the hereditary violence of the system!

Bloody peasant!

Oh! Oh, what a giveaway, did you hear that?!
HuruinaInu
I listened to a bit of the speech. I assumed Trump cringed when King Charles said something about 'checks and balances on those in power'.
januarylover
I doubt the speech even registered. Trump has only ever been interested in Trump.
ExTechOp
"The US Supreme Court Historical Society has calculated that Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 Supreme Court cases since 1789, not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances."

You assumed he was listening
tempUser7824
Or even if he was listening, that he understood all those high falutin' words ol' King Charles was using; you know the ones: the ones required for a vocabulary higher than 3rd grader's.
HuruinaInu
I'm sure that in the next few days, someone on FOX will explain just how much this speech was an attack on how Trump governs... by Sunday, Trump will have a rant on his megaphone-forum about how he was stabbed in the back.
glovelyday
Trump was probably sleeping.
IhopeUgetwhatUvoted4
He didn't make any money so he didn't GAF.
ropetopus
This address was not targeted at Trump. This kind of speech would not sway Trump, and Charles and his advisers know this.
This was to encourage Congress to act, in the hopes that not too many of them are asleep in their chairs or complicit in the foolishness of this administration.
And it was to send a message to the rest of the world, who listened, that the UK isn’t blind.
eromitlab
Don't be silly. He was either committing a crime or involved in planning a crime.
TheVillageGrouch9000
Matters not, he'd not understand the subtitles and implied meaning.
iusedtodream
*subtleties, amd exactly what I came here to say
shinagami091
And if he were awake I’d be damned if he picked up any of this
BikeTrailsAndWaggingTails
Sadly Trump didn't fall asleep this time but I'm confident that his was going inside his head.

Date of image? Context?
FellaWithUmbrella
There are several of these ”Trump sleeping” images from different dates and occasions. This one is from his hush-money criminal trial in 2024.
TheVillageGrouch9000
Should have asked was this today. No matter, I'll see myself out.
LiarLiarPantsUntier
Ew. What a truly disgusting image.

WTF, the cameraman was doing their best!
