Trump: FIRST PRESIDENT to visit Windsor Castle if you don't count Reagan, GWB, Obama, & Biden. USA! USA! USA! [View all]
Trump confused onlookers with a bizarre speech to King Charles III and guests at Wednesday evening’s state dinner that included factual errors about the number of U.S presidents who have had the honor of visiting Windsor Castle.
“It is a privilege to be the first American president welcomed here,” said Trump, 79. “And if you think about it, a lot of presidents, and this was this was the second state visit and that is the first. Maybe that is going to be the last time—I hope it is, actually." Guests in the room politely chuckled after that line.
It appears Trump was attempting to reference the fact that he is making an unprecedented second state visit to the UK, which no world leader has done before. His first official state visit came in June of 2019.
It is true that this is the first time a president to dine at Windsor Castle on a formal state dinner, but his claim he is the first President to be welcomed at Windsor Castle is false. Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden all visited Windsor Castle during their presidencies. Trump himself took tea with Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle in July of 2018.
