President Trump calls Meghan Markle 'nasty' in new interview

[jaysunb]

President Donald Trump is headed to the United Kingdom for a state visit next week, but he won’t be meeting fellow American and the newest member of the British royal family — Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.
Perhaps that’s for the best.
In a new interview with the UK newspaper The Sun, President Trump was asked about the former Meghan Markle and alerted to comments the future duchess made around the time of the 2016 election. In an appearance on Comedy Central’s “The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore,” Markle called then-candidate Trump “divisive.”

[AJT]

1. But the other royals will still meet with him? What do they have to gain?

[Hekate]

5. Ya think they want a trade war declared on the UK by Trump?

[Kaleva]

23. It's their job as Head of State.

[Jake Stern]

45. These people met with actual dirtbag dictators like idi Amin, Augusto Pinochet and Robert Mugabe

They can handle Trump.

[shanny]

2. oooooh, "divisive" is a trigger?

everybody in for a rough ride

[Kid Berwyn]

9. EVERY slight sets him off.

[ProudLib72]

3. That's an insult to British Royalty

I hope they take firm action!

[Hekate]

4. Dotard Don has no filter at all any more, zero sense of what's appropriate to say...

Where's that family intervention, hmm?

[StarfishSaver]

6. I wonder how Harry will react to this?

He's pretty good at shade - it will be interesting to see what he does.

[Ohiogal]

10. F**k shade!

I hope he walks up to Dopey Donald and punches him right in the face!

[StarfishSaver]

11. That would be pretty sweet, too!

[Ilsa]

17. Harry could walk up to the trumps and ask Melania and

Donny's little princess where they got their facelifts and boob jobs done. He has friends injured in Afghanistan that need extra help.

[Cirque du So-What]

20. I'd like to buy Harry a milkshake

[wryter2000]

52. That would be sweet

It's a disgrace they have to deal with him

[dhol82]

28. Did he ever have a filter?

[Hekate]

38. No idea. I never followed his young career, but obviously he had charm ....

... that he could turn on and off like a faucet, which means he damn well knew how to behave when he chose to.

He appears to be so far past that now it would be sad if the real tragedy were not that he and his enablers are destroying my country.

[JHB]

37. It's a Mitchtery to me.

[Hekate]

39. Just one more question...

How soon can you clap cuffs on him, Detective?

[sop]

55. Trump suffers from a kind of political Tourette's Syndrome

[underpants]

57. See, she's not white. He filtered that directly to his racist base both here and abroad

Yes he thinks his really is that popular but doesn't see that he is just one of many to take advantage of fear of a changing world and ignorance.

This was not a mistake. To have a person of color in the Royal Family is just as disconcerting to the Nazi types as having a black President.

[Hekate]

64. Definitely a point

[Hoyt]

7. I hope the UK embarrasses him, but they'll probably kiss his rear with stiff upper lip.

[HipChick]

29. They won't...The British press in particular

Don't mince words...

[liberal N proud]

8. Anyone who does not patronize the Donald become victim to his rage

Vindictive fuck.

[Hekate]

12. You people are funny. What we have is a head of state meeting with other heads of state....

1. There are protocols for behavior between them. Trump may not know what they are, but other people do.
2. Trump has proven he is a nasty-tempered, erratic, international bully, just itching for a chance to cause chaos and punish any person or any country that gets in his way.
Would you want it to be your people who get hurt?
3. How about them trade wars? (The fact that Trump's trade wars are going to hurt America the worst is beyond his comprehension. All that matters is that he beat his chest and hurt another country's leaders.)

Other world leaders are going to treat him with a spectrum from courtesy to kid gloves as much as possible until he either goes away or does something too intolerable to ignore. Behind the scenes, though, the US is no longer the "indispensable nation" nor can we be trusted to be any kind of partner in intelligence or trade or anything else.

[AJT]

25. They could send representatives. A slight but still within norms.

[3catwoman3]

13. A "stable genius" would know better than to disparage the wife...

..of someone who will be hosting him in just a few days.

[Ilsa]

18. Especially since the food handlers work for the host. nt

[jmowreader]

36. I have no doubt whatsoever...

...that the dishes the Royals will serve to President Trump will be safe, properly cooked, and nutritionally balanced.

They will also be traditional British dishes like kidney pie, eel and mash, bangers and mash, mushy peas, and beans on toast.

As Frank Zappa once wrote, "Lord, have mercy on the people in England for the terrible food these people must eat."

[Ilsa]

41. Kidney pie and eel are not on my list, but

bangers, mash, beans on toast, peas, etc are good food!

[jmowreader]

48. Maybe so, but Trump wouldn't eat those things voluntarily

All kidding aside, a good Sunday roast would be a nice thing to serve him. He’d eat fish and chips, and he might enjoy a Melton Mowbray pork pie.

But since we’re trying to be as mean to the bastard as he is to the rest of the world, break out the eels and organ meats.

[Ilsa]

59. Sunday roast is always good.

I bet trump skips the good vegetables.

Is there a reason people don't eat at least part of the crust of a Melton Mowbray pork pie? I love a meat and vegetable pie in crust. Is the meat in MMPP very heavily flavored with savory herbs and spices? Are there significant variations?

[jmowreader]

61. It's mostly flavored with salt and pepper

I would say the reason people don't eat the crust is because of how the pie is made: after they bake it, they pour hot pork gelatin into the hole in the top of the crust to seal the meat and keep it from spoiling. As a result, the crust turns into this disgusting soggy mess that's essentially inedible.

The Yorkshire pie is probably superior to the Melton Mowbray...Yorkshiremen eat their pies hot, and that's a mortal sin when it comes to the Melton Mowbray pie.

[roamer65]

14. Dump is a degenerate.

[Ilsa]

15. He's like a small primate slinging feces.

He can't help but do it, just because he feels threatened. No filter, no manners. Completely unqualified to meet the Queen's family. He's an embarassment.

[struggle4progress]

16. "I didn't really want to grab her pussy anyway"

[jaysunb]

32. LOL n/t

[Make7]

19. I guess calling someone 'nasty' is not divisive.

Regarding whether or not Trump is 'divisive', perhaps we could poll the following people for their opinions:

Crooked Hillary, SleepyCreepy Joe, Da Nang Dick, Low Energy Jeb, Cheatin' Obama, Crazy Nancy, Little Marco, Crazy Bernie, Cryin' Chuck, Pocahontas, Liddle' Bob Corker, Lyin' Ted, Wacky Omarosa, Fat Jerry, Low-IQ Maxine Waters, Rocket Man, No Talent Samantha Bee, Dumb as a Rock Mika, Sour Lemon, Wacky Congresswoman Wilson, Little Jeff Zucker, Jeff Bozo, Mr. Kellyanne, Horseface, Miss Piggy, Lowlife Christopher Steele, etc., etc....

At the risk of being divisive, my opinion is that Trump's an asshole.

[keithbvadu2]

31. Putin has no nasty little nickname from Donald

Putin has no nasty little nickname from Donald

[Ilsa]

42. Trump's nickname for Putin is probably, "Master." nt

[keithbvadu2]

44. As his master Vlad approaches

As his master Vlad approaches

[Haggis for Breakfast]

21. Inasmuch as the Royal family is not involved with politics,

I fail to understand WHY they are compelled to have anything to do with him at all.

His vile and vulgar remarks about Diana have not lost any traction in the ensuing years. On that alone, Harry and Wills should shun him at all costs. The man is beneath contempt. Common. Dead common.

[jaysunb]

33. +1 n/t

[keithbvadu2]

34. 'Common' is not appropriate. 'Trash' would be more fitting.

'Common' is not appropriate. 'Trash' would be more fitting.

The 'common man' is way better than Trump.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

46. In British vernacular,

calling someone "common" is not a compliment.

Calling them "dead common" is much worse.

[keithbvadu2]

51. Aha! English to English translation.

Aha! English to English translation.

Two peoples separated by a common language.

[Hekate]

40. Well, if their 90 yo grandma must be there, it's good that the boys will share the burden with her.

That's all I can say. Then they can escort the trash out when grandma gets too fatigued.

[smirkymonkey]

43. +1000

I just don't get it either. They are not political. I don't understand why they are hosting this group of Hillbillies. It is an embarrassment. Let the politicians of the UK take on the job.

Why make the royal family bow to this indignity? This will be such a fiasco. It is hilarious to me that the Trumps think they are worthy of being guests of the royal family. This all seems so forced and contrived.

[sop]

62. Look Granny, the Washington Hillbillies are comin' fer a visit!

When the royals see Trump and all his kin, they'll likely thank 'em for kindly droppin' in. The Queen will politely ask them to take their shoes off, set a spell. Trump will start tellin' the Queen tall tales about how the first thing he knew he was a self-made billionaire, then he loaded up the truck and moved to Mar-a-Lago...swimmin' pools, porn stars.

While there the Trump clan will try to get the Brits to join his invasion of Iran, talkin' about all that bubblin' crude, oil that is, black gold, Texas tea. Finally, as Trump and his kinfolk are wavin' bye to the Queen, she'll invite them back next year to their locality, to have a heapin' helpin' of UK hospitality. Y'all come back now, y'hear?

[smirkymonkey]

63. *snicker*

Very good! Just as I would expect it to go!

He is going to bore them silly talking about himself non-stop. They will be hating every moment of the visit.

[obamanut2012]

58. They have to, they don;t have a choice

I'm very glad the Duchess of Sussex has a legit reason to not have to meet him, but yet her husband must meet and be polite to a man who called her "nasty."

[Doodley]

60. They don't "have to" do anything. They are unelected and only in their

position of privilege because their dictator ancestors, beheaded who they didn't like, tortured their fellow countrymen, invaded other lands and owned millions of slaves, and accumulated riches for themselves.

At any time, they can abdicate and disown their archaic, undemocratic roles that are a symbol of a shameful past.

[Takket]

22. so will someone FINALLY stand up to this guy???????

The UK has no worries about upsetting drumpf's base. So will they cancel his visit due to his attack on the royal family? or like EVERYTHING else in his life will he just get away with it because no one can ever seem to stop him?

[dalton99a]

24. If you don't say nice things about him, then you're a nasty person

Nice or nasty - from the tremendous vocabulary in the dotard's skull

[Cha]

26. Stupid Projecting Asshole.. Snub the

the Wanker, Royal Fam.

[Ilsa]

47. Not just the one wanker, but all of them.

They are all complicit.

[UTUSN]

27. K&R

[CTyankee]

30. Never in my wildest imagination would I think a president would be so smarmy to a member

of the British royal family. His visit won't go well after this vile statement.

[Hekate]

35. No, I don't think it will go well for him at all. Especially since the people will be ...

...out in the streets in their millions floating their big orange baby balloons and giving him the one-finger salute. They are not required to be polite.

[malaise]

53. She's just another black woman to the king of cons

I am more interested in how the British government and the royals react.

[RockaFowler]

49. Trump War Room tried to downplay it and failed miserably

Play the tape . . .

Link to tweet

Fake News CNN is at it again, falsely claiming President Trump called Meghan Markle "nasty." Here is what he actually said. Listen for yourself!

[keithbvadu2]

50. There is an "Official Trump War Room "? That is a real part of his team?

There is an "Official Trump War Room "?

That is a real part of his team?

[mr_lebowski]

56. One could argue that what he meant was ...

"I didn't know that she'd said nasty things about me in the past" ... as opposed to outright calling her "nasty", like, as a person. In fact, given the context, and the other things said before and after, that is the most logical interpretation.

However, a PRESIDENT should most definitely be much more aware and precise with the words coming from his pie-hole, and how they might be perceived.

Also I'd bet any amount that he's full of shit ... he knows what she said in the past.

[tanyev]

54. His teeny tiny vocabulary must get very lonely rattling around all by itself in that very big brain.
