Showing Original Post only (View all)Queen Of England to Trump: Riddle me this... [View all]
Found this:
Donald Trump went to London and met with the Queen.
Your Queenship, he asked her. I am finding things way more difficult than I could have imagined. May I ask you how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give me?
Well, replied Her Majesty, the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people.
Trump frowned.
But how do you know the people around you are really intelligent? he asked.
Oh, thats easy the Queen replied. You just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle.
She pushed a button on her intercom. Please send Theresa May in here.
The Prime Minister walked into the room.
You called for me, Your Majesty?
Answer me this, if you would, Theresa. the Queen said. Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?
Without pausing for even a second, Theresa May answered, That would be me.
Yes! Very good, said the Queen.
Trump went back home, returned to the White House and the very next day called for Mike Pence to come and see him.
Pence duly trotted in to the Oval Office
Mike, answer this for me, said the Don. Your mother and your father have a child. Its not your brother and its not your sister. Who is it?
Im not sure, said Pence. Let me get back to you on that one.
Pence went panicking off to his advisers and asked everyone, but none of them could give him an answer.
The next night, as it happened, Pence ran in to Hillary Clinton in a restaurant. By now, desperate for an answer to give to his tyrannical boss, he approached her much to her surprise.
Hillary, I know we havent always seen eye to eye but I would really appreciate it if you could answer this riddle for me
Sure, Mike Hillary said. Im not one to hold a grudge. What is it?
Thanks, said Pence, Its this. Your mother and father have a child and its not your brother or your sister. Who is it?
Hillary answered right back, Thats easy, its me!
Pence smiled, Thanks!
Pence then went back to speak with Trump. Say, boss, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. Its Hillary Clinton.
Trump got up, stomped over to Pence, and angrily yelled at him. No, you idiot! Its Theresa May!
AND THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS PRECISELY WHATS GOING ON AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

One of those old jokes that gets modified with every change of leadership. An oldie but a goodie.

Queens family mentioned to Press a couple months ago, the Queen doesn't like to meet with fools.
