Oh god. How horrible that must have been for her. On behalf of a majority of my country who can’t stand him I apologize for whatever was said.

What a striking contrast between classy & dignified (QUEEN) and classless & trashy (TRUMP).

No doubt she kept the call super brief so as to spare herself from having to listen to Trump’s bragging.
We’re sorry to have put Your Majesty through that, truly.

We’ll try to do better this November.
Respectfully,
America
Please don’t make her do that. We’re so sorry.

Did he call her weak and stupid? He apparently likes to do that when he talks to powerful women on the phone.

Trump: “DID YOU HEAR I’M NUMBER ONE ON FACEBOOK??”
I apologise to Her Majesty on behalf of the US citizenry. That lout does not represent even a bare majority of us.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth is an immensely respected head of state.

An example of Grace and dignity through her entire reign.
I would bet money that this was a very brief phone call.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth knows how to deal with people like Trump
Did she get a word in? Why would she waste her time? WHY?

So sad that she had to talk to him. Was probably so glad to get off the phone. Probably needed a stronger drink than tea! 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Did the Queen enjoy discussing Trump’s favorite subject…himself?

I would imagine that Queen Elizabeth is extremely talented at subtle insults. Can we see a transcript of the conversation? We need a laugh.
