Often revered as an astute judge of character,Ā Queen Elizabeth II told friends that she foundĀ Donald Trump ā€œvery rude,ā€ and mused that he must have ā€œsome sort of arrangementā€ with his wife,Ā Melania.

The stunning claims are made in a new biography of the late queen which is being serialized in theĀ Daily Mail. It also says that the late monarch ā€œparticularly dislikedā€ Trumpā€™s habit of looking over her shoulder, as if ā€œin search of others more interesting.ā€

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

    Except she didnā€™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 Sunā€™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 donā€™t care, Iā€™m dead. Why would anybody whoā€™s dead care about politics? Leave them alone.

          I imagine most historical figures will be profoundly disappointed when they learn of modern politicsā€¦ 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 todayā€™s political landscape
