I must admit I had a giggle at Trumps latest comment "That he wouldn't be deporting Prince Harry as he has enough problems with his wife Meghan"
Prince Harry has come back with a comment about "Weak moral character in the World" not as funny .
I usually hold my head in my hands at Trumps comments but this made me smile. I am not a fan of the Sussex's either.

I am grateful to Trump for this one thing. I would not want the Sussexes coming back here.

I wonder what it is about the African-American/European-American Megan that Trump doesn't like?

He's called her 'horrible' in the past.

I'm not surprised that Trump would make such a misogynistic comment.

I imagine a black, female, beautiful actress who says what she thinks and has influence is Trump’s nemesis.

So he can’t just not like her as a person then?

Casdon Sun 09-Feb-25 17:55:08

I highly doubt they move in the same circles, so he can’t know her well enough to dislike her as a person.

I have little feelings about the Sussexes either way, but Trump’s comment did make me smile!

Me too😁

He prob thinks she’s horrible as she caused such a rift with the royal family, DT was a big fan of the late Queen.

She’s apparently, publicly, called Trump out for some of his comments and actions, so of course he doesn’t like, I expect ..*she’s a bad person, a very bad person*

Soz, rubbish typing again.

I do wish we could have an edit button, then again mine would be worn out by now! grin

I'm not sure about this.
If you read what he actually said about Harry:

I'll leave him alone. He's got enough problems with his wife.

suggests to me that he thinks Meghan is always buzzing in Harry's ear, influencing him and telling him what to do.

Oh I don’t know.
It’s not just Trump. Her staff find her ‘demanding and difficult’ in America. They used a nickname for her when messaging one another that she was ‘on the warpath and in a bad humour’.

I don’t think it’s anything to do with her ethnicity. She’s just not popular with some!

I liked her at the beginning. I thought we as a nation had welcomed her, made a fuss of her and thought she’d be a breath of fresh air. Hey ho.

Rula Sun 09-Feb-25 18:20:01

It's absolutely nothing to do with her race. Typical comment. It's also not misogynistic!

I'm not a fan of the woman. We're allowed not to like people.

Pantglas2 Sun 09-Feb-25 18:25:41

Not sure she has much influence Casdon otherwise he’d never have been elected! I suspect he doesn’t approve of their behaviour towards the late Queen as he adored her.

Churchview Sun 09-Feb-25 18:37:43

We are all allowed to not like people but the president of the United States should surely have better manners than to point that out publicly.

His comment is as misogynist as a 'Take my mother-in law' type of joke.

Casdon Sun 09-Feb-25 18:41:16

I think a lot of Americans admire the Royal Family, and see it as a coup that one of theirs married an American. I didn’t say what I did because I’m a Meghan fan, I’m indifferent to her - but I do think she embodies what Trump doesn’t like in all respects. I cringe when I think of him with the Queen, it seemed to me that he made every attempt to be seen as more important than she was.

Pantglas2 Sun 09-Feb-25 18:54:43

I’m not a fan of either and think they’re both manipulative people who thought they were more important on the world stage than our late Queen!

Casdon Sun 09-Feb-25 18:57:08

Fair comment Pantglas.

Megan started using the ‘because I am black’ to attack the royal
family in the Oprah interview . After seeing her on stage at the
Invictus Games yesterday !

Harry's retort could have been better. weak moral character Trump is neither weak nor moral.
