'If I were president, they wouldn't have sat me back there': Trump MOCKS Biden for being sat 14 rows

'If I were president, they wouldn't have sat me back there': Trump MOCKS Biden for being sat 14 rows back at the Queen's funeral

- and says there is 'no respect' for the US two years after leaving office


Jesus Christ on a pogo stick. EVERYTHING has to be about him. When you sleazed your sorry ass to the UK you embarrassed all of us - simply by donning that clownish looking tux. You also broke every rule of protocol and etiquette earning a face palm from HRM AND her family


President Joe Biden and first lady Jill sat 14 rows back in Westminster Abbey during the Queen's funeral

Biden sat behind the President of Poland Andrzej Duda, while Jill sat next to president of Switzerland

The first couple left London for the United States just two hours after the service finished

Trump took to Truth Social to mock the President's position - and said there is 'no respect' for the US

He insisted it was a good time for Biden to get to know 'leaders of certain Third World Countries

QE II just adored that tuxedo that made tRump look like a morbidly obese pregnant penguin.

But Her Majesty refused to let him have a ride in her horse drawn Golden Carriage. Although he begged her about 1,000 times. tRump ended up pouting, The Queen said no,.. forget it,.. that's final.

(Especially among his fellow Republicans)

He's such a very twisted, dessicated person. The queen dies, the leadership of the world gathers to solemnly commemorate her, and all Trump can talk about is himself, and what's really true is-- the royal family despised him and his whole trashy crew.

so why is he moaning, because he's left out all by himself. Poor baby.

Grow up. Good grief, grow the f**k up.

For an older wealthy man (supposedly) he moans and gripes about everything. Me thinks that he's not as rich as he claims he is, that there's more to the story that hasn't come out yet about his finances, his wrong doings while as president, and all of the misdeeds that he did.

We'll see more of his misdeeds soon. The 1/6 committee is due to start up again soon, and they already have said that they have a ton of crap that will come out soon, being (1) still delivering stuff on what they didn't cover from before, and also, all of the new witnesses that have come out, and described more misdeeds and wrong doings.

I can't wait.

The service was not about Joe or Jill it was about the Queen, her family, and the nation.

I'm sure Joe and Jill could have gotten front row sitting if they wanted to but instead showed
what real class is all about.

It's not some free-for-all, and it's not all about the US President. Americans who think so need to get over themselves and their sense of entitlement. The heads of the 50-something or so Commonwealth nations were all seated ahead of the US President because the Queen was their head of state...

Tue Sep 20, 2022, 02:23 AM

'Protocols dictate that, at the late Queen’s funeral, Commonwealth political leaders outrank those from the rest of the world, regardless of their importance. And so it was that Mr Biden found himself 14 rows from the front and nine behind Justin Trudeau, prime minister of Canada, the neighbour that the US normally looks down upon. On this side of the pond, the world order can sometimes turn upside down.'

That’s the basic information that was provided in the other article. TY!

I’m actually thinking of something that explains in intimate detail who sits where and why. And I would also like to find out other explanations when protocol calls for someone to sit in a certain place, but that proves to not be advisable, and how things are to be rearranged should it happen that two individuals (let’s say) need to be kept apart. I haven’t found anything quite that detailed yet, and might not, but it was worth a look.

but rather that his late arrival due to traffic didn’t inconvenience anyone. The Bidens are normal people who do what they can to be good sports, not fussy primadonnas. Not surprised that rump would have wanted a seat in the hearse and a chance at the microphone to whine about his long ago election loss.

the leaders of Commonwealth nations take precedence. So the US is not part of the Commonwealth, of course, and so has to sit behind those. Would have been the same for the Dotard, though I think they'd have done better not to invite him at all had it happened when he was in office. Scary to think how he'd try to get attention on such a solemn occasion.
