Tuesday was Day 2 of President Trump's state visit to Britain, and on Monday night, "the world's cutest White Walker, her majesty the queen, hosted an official state dinner in honor of Trump's favorite thing: himself," Trevor Noah said on Tuesday's Late Show. Trump apparently broke protocol by touching Queen Elizabeth's back, and Noah shrugged. "Look, I don't think Trump touching the queen was offensive," he said. "What was offensive was Trump's outfit for the big dinner. I mean, people, what's with this tuxedo? How can a man have access to the nuclear codes but not a tailor?"
Meanwhile, "a whole different kind of party" took place in London on Tuesday, with "tens of thousands protesting Trump, and this was in the rain," Noah said. "Man, British protesters are no joke." They were trying to make Trump feel unwelcome, he added, "but for Trump, protests are like Eric: He just pretends they don't exist." Trump said at a press conference there were only "very small" protests and large groups of Britons cheering him on, but neither of those was true, Noah said. "Like, how does Trump always get this wrong? First his inauguration and now this? It's almost like Trump is dyslexic, but just for crowd sizes, and also for words."
