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.
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
Is this the JD Vance school of caring?
Not that epitome of truth that is The Sun, surely?
This is coming from the mail, which has only ever been slightly more reputable than the sun. At this point, they could be tied
Oh, right! Biography, not autobiography. I see
Well, I used to think that. Now that is in the Daily Mail I'm less sure.
Maybe it’s stunning because the queen is dead?
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.
