Donald Trump said the Queen kept him waiting and the responses are a right royal treat

Donald Trump told a crowd in America that the Queen kept him waiting during his recent visit to the UK.

He said reports that it was actually the so-called president who kept the Queen waiting were ‘fake news’.

Just In: US President Donald Trump has said 'the fake, fake disgusting news' told lies about his meeting with the Queen during his UK visit. He claims he was early for the meeting and that he 'got along' well with HRH. pic.twitter.com/CBITo47oCf

“I was asked to have tea with the Queen, who is incredible by the way. Incredible.

“I had landed and I’m on the ground and I’m waiting with the king’s and with the queen’s guards – wonderful people.

“I’m waiting. I was about 15 minutes early and I’m waiting with my wife and that’s fine. Hey, it’s the Queen, right? We can wait. But I’m a little early.”

King’s!

And here’s all you need to know about that.

That’s funny, I witnessed the Queen standing alone for a very long time, checking her watch and then several more minutes later, @realDonaldTrump finally showed up. Then he had the extremely poor taste to cut off the Queen when reviewing the Guards.

Not a royalist in any way but YOU DO NOT MAKE THE QUEEN WAIT. SHE IS AN OLD LADY AND SHOULD KICK HIM IN THE TESTICLES WHEN HE SHOWS UP THE BIG ORANGE WAZZOCK https://t.co/2mkSAPtzTr

Glad to set the record straight, Mr So-Called President. Oh, and a handy reminder everyone.
