"It's a singular privilege to be the first American president welcomed here and, if you think about it, it's a lot of presidents and this was the second state visit and that's the first and maybe that's going to be the last time," he told the royals and the guests present.

I'll leave him alone. He's got enough problems with his wife. She's terrible," he told the press.
