How creepy, petty, deranged........

and whatever else you can say?

Trump claims he could have had a better seat at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral than President and Mrs Biden. They were set in the 14th row, just behind many other dignitaries

What an absolute jackass who Trump! He has no idea where he would have been seated if he would have been invited?

trump didn't crash the funeral - well, try to, anyway.

I can also picture him trying to butt his way to try to walk ahead of the Queen's casket during the funeral procession

Trump thinks if he had been pres, they would have reserved a front row seat especially for him.

And requested he deliver the eulogy (containing charming annecdotes about how great a president/person he is).

Honestly, it is.

ETA: after Trump it’s a wonder we have any relationships left, special or otherwise. Allies don’t know what to make of us any more.

When William and Kate got into trouble in the Caribbean with talk of republicanism and slavery, Charles and Camilla made a quickly planned visit to Canada to bond with us. We call our ambassadors to and from other commonwealth countries "High Commissioners" not Ambassadors.

Hope I was measured enough in my response.

I am weary to the bone with my fellow US Americans thinking we are the center of the world — after all the damage Trump has done and is still doing to us and our allies.

The order of precedence at a monarch’s funeral? Good grief.

prime Ministers there and 3 current or former Canadian governors generals. About a dozen in the leadership of Indigenous groups as well as recipients of the order of Canada, soldiers to march and, 4 members of the RCMP Musical Ride who led the procession.
