In response to Iran's seizure of Britain’s Stena Impero tanker, 19 July, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Trump have taken joint action.
Both have been dropped via helicopter onto the deck of Iran’s tanker Grace 1, seized by the British on July 4.
This “joint action” has now been clarified that neither of the two men were observed with a small vaporizing vial near the nostrils as they descended.
Major statements on global policy and management were proposed but in a manner "fitting to the office.”
Mr. Johnson’s colorful charisma as with various helmets, hung up in a crane, bicycling in polka-dot underwear, consuming a large glass of porter, etc. have been an inspiration.
Mr. Trump, on the other hand, weighs in as plain-talker plus distinguished and experienced.
After deposit of the two onto the deck of Grace 1, a smiling two-step with linked arms and twirling took place immediately.
Microphones were rushed forward.
Mr. Trump:
“Now, I think the world should know that, for example with Afghanistan, I could entirely, completely, obliterate that country.”
Mr. Johnson: “Hear, hear!”
Mr. Trump: “And I could kill ten million people in the process. But I’m not going to do that. At least not at this time.”
Mr. Johnson (with a little jig prior to): “And Brexit? Well, it’s that kind of power I’m bringing to the office at this time!”
Mr. Trump: "So the globe ought to pay attention on this obliteration thing we can do, and that I can do anytime I want to!"
Mr. Johnson (sucking his thumb): "Oh my! Oh my!"
Mr. Trump: “So all these folks, in this very area where we are right now, seizing tankers like England’s Stena Impero—lovely name, by the way, reminding me of myself—had better watch out!”
Mr. Johnson: “Believe it, brothers, believe it! This man be serious! This man a doer! Yeah! Yeah!”
Mr. Trump: “And with that little reminder, I turn this mic over to my friend, Mr. Johnson.”
Mr. Johnson: “Always remember! Rule Brittania! Brittania waves the rules! And America! Vigilante semper! No brains no temper!”
The two leaders then embraced, with Mr. Johnson placing a bicycle helmet on Mr. Trump’s head, and waving at the camera.
