"I will never forget how uncomfortable the late Queen Elizabeth looked when she hosted Donald and Melania Trump during their first state visit to the United Kingdom in 2019. Her Majesty, who I adored, and whose entire reign was defined by composure, duty, and restraint, could not hide her unease, at least to me. Even behind her famously stoic demeanor, you could see the stiffness of her body language. And he probably pissed her off by breaking protocol a few times."
"It was as if the presence of Trump, with his odorous blend of bluster, entitlement, and real odor, made the very air in Buckingham Palace heavy. According to her biography, the queen thought he was "very rude," and she believed Trump "must have some sort of arrangement" with Melania - otherwise, "why would she remain married to him?" Thankfully, the queen is spared the indignity of enduring him again."
"Trump, however, seems to consider himself an exception because, well, Trump thinks he's a king like Charles. He's getting the exception though because, for all intents and purposes, there's the reign of "Trump I" (2017-2021) and now "Trump II." And if his mother thought the worse of Trump, Charles is in for a rude (literally) awakening. That's because Trump II is far, far worse than Trump I."
Queen Elizabeth appeared visibly uncomfortable hosting Donald and Melania Trump during their 2019 state visit to the United Kingdom, showing stiffness and unease despite customary composure. Biographical accounts report that the queen found him “very rude” and speculated about Melania’s motives for staying married. King Charles now faces a second state visit from Trump, a rare extension for an American president. Trump treats himself like royalty and frames his political eras as “Trump I” and “Trump II.” The current presidency exhibits increased provocations and narcissistic, revolting behavior, intensifying concerns about decorum, protocol, and the monarchy’s diplomatic burdens.
