King Charles gifts President a WWII HMS Trump submarine bell

cultureApr 29, 2026491,068

At the White House state dinner, King Charles III presented President Donald Trump with the original bell from the Second World War submarine HMS Trump. The brass bell once hung on the submarine's conning tower and the King framed it as a personal gift because the vessel shared the President's surname. Charles quipped, "Should you ever need to get hold of US, give US a ring," linking the gift to both history and a lighthearted diplomatic tone. The gesture emphasizes historical naval ties between the United Kingdom and the United States and serves as a personal and symbolic memento of the state visit.

There's nothing Trump won't cover-up.

Fun Fact: If his hands are covered with make-up all day, he's not washing his hands after using the toilet. 😳

Where's Melania's Carmen Sandiago hat? Also, my mom used to laugh uncontrollably whenever Craig Ferguson had Secretariat dressed up as Camilla before she became queen b/c my mom's British and referred to Camilla as "horse face" on many occasions.

He should have worn gloves like Melania.

What a foursome of weirdos.

It is a shame they couldn't find a way to cover up his mouth so he wouldn't make more and more diplomatic gaffes to embarrass us in front of the whole world once again.

He should have just borrowed Melania's gloves.

Maybe they have upped the antivirals for his disease....

Two hands caked in makeup like a failed drywall project. What are we hiding now—bruises, bronzer collapse, or the stress of lying nonstop? Even his hands need a cover story. King Charles got a state dinner and a front-row seat to DECLINE. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Liberal DJT

Now we know what color the sheets are in the WH--pale pink

Misread the memo. The foundation matches the first hooker’s dress. More importantly, one can simply smell the rot and fetid cheese odor emanating from this photo. 💩💨💨

Gosh, to think a generation ago, this picture would show the world what grace, reverence, stability, duty and strength looked like. Today, it's four people dressed in party clothes.

He’s using a lighter shade of orange on his face

Nicht Böse sein Amerikaner. Dafür mussten die Ureinwohner die Indianer sterben. Damit wir heute dieses Bild sehen. Don’t be angry, Americans. The Native Americans had to die for this. So that we can see this picture today.

I’d prefer they were covered in shackles…

Melanie’s stylist hates her as much as we do.
