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.

        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.

            Imagine being dead for decades and somebody contacts you to ask about politics. Like fuck off, I don’t care, I’m dead. Why would anybody who’s dead care about politics? Leave them alone.

              I imagine most historical figures will be profoundly disappointed when they learn of modern politics… No god-emperors, no global communism, just a capitalist hellhole full of near-fascist governments. Mussolini might have a field day, but imagine summoning the ghost of Ramesses II or Vladimir Lenin into today’s political landscape

              This is coming from the mail, which has only ever been slightly more reputable than the sun. At this point, they could be tied

      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 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.

    Oh but when Barack Obama shakes her hand because that’s his default “I respect you” gesture it’s a national crisis

        Which by the way, he looked fantastic in. I’d like to see a Republican look so good in a casual suit

          They were actually mad because he stirred that gay feeling so many of them are trying to hide

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

    I vaguely remember the video of the Queen and James Bond during the London Olympics opening ceremony where the Queen asks Bond to get rid of Trump. Or did I imagine that?

    Surprising, considering they’re both racist old fucks and Donny is a pedo like her dear son, whom she lent her properties to for the pedo parties with Epstein. I would have thought they’d get along and will be playing poker in hell together soon enough
