Often revered as an astute judge of character, Queen Elizabeth II told friends that she found Donald Trump “very rude,” and mused that he must have “some sort of arrangement” with his wife, Melania.

The stunning claims are made in a new biography of the late queen which is being serialized in the Daily Mail. It also says that the late monarch “particularly disliked” Trump’s habit of looking over her shoulder, as if “in search of others more interesting.”

Elizabeth hosted Trump twice during her reign, in 2018 and 2019.

Stunning claims? How is this stunning? Everyone knows Trump is rude as hell, he doesn’t even try to hide it.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure everyone except his followers knew that the day he came down that escalator.

One person’s rude is another person’s dominant/alpha.

That’s so weird. “Oh wow he’s so disrespectful, let’s bow to him!” Like, how weak can you be?

Still, for a queen to spill the beans on someone like this, not what I’d expected.

Except she didn’t, she kept it private.

Somebody else now wrote in a book she said that, which may or may not be true (I believe it). But she made those statements in private.

Maybe she said that, or maybe this is like the time The Sun’s psychic contacted Princess Diana and learned that she was (of course) a Brexit supporter.

Didn’t we already know she thought he was rude? Regardless, who cares. The fact that some rich person from some other country agreed with us isn’t news worthy.

Look. Melanie’s a prostitute. She married and fucks him for money. Just telling it like it is. Not making a moral judgement.

Hey, prostitution is plenty fine. It’s the lack of moral compass that’s concerning.

I don’t want the money I make to come from others suffering. She is obviously plenty fine with it.

I’m sure she suffered, too. He fathered a child on her, after all.

Only partly serious.

I remember she was so mad and didn’t want to move to the white house when he won lol. She was comfortable living in a penthouse, while fucking Raul the Yoga instructor, and rarely being in the same room with Trump.

Not saying it’s not true, but isn’t the daily Mail tabloid/sensational journalism similar to infotainment like Fox or Weekly World News

yup, though i think in this case it makes more sense to interrogate the honesty of craig brown, since the claim comes from him. daily mail is just reporting on (advertising) his book
