Donald Trump: "I'm Glad Harry and Meghan Left the United States"

The U.S. president said he was pleased by Harry and Meghan's departure, accused them of showing deep disrespect toward the Royal Family, and said he would not welcome them back.
Donald Trump: "I'm Glad Harry and Meghan Left the United States"

Against the backdrop of threats toward Iran and escalating tensions in the Middle East, the president of the United States still found time to address what the original article wryly presents as the truly important matter: the departure of Harry and Meghan.

"I'm glad about it. I think they were very disrespectful to the Royal Family. I didn't like it," he said.

These are days when tensions are once again rising — not because of the weather, but because of the temperament of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Meanwhile, we, the unfortunate citizens of Israel, are living from one statement to the next, trying to work out whether to prepare the safe room or whether, once again, the threats will amount to nothing.

Our existential anxiety, however, does not appear to trouble Trump, who still has enough time to concern himself with what the article describes as the really important subjects: the departure of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

He added that if he were in the Royal Family's position, "I wouldn't take them back."

"I'm glad about it," the president told reporters in the Oval Office when asked about the departure of the Duke and Duchess of California.

"I wasn't a fan of theirs."

Before continuing, it is worth recalling that Trump has never tried to hide the fact that he is not an admirer of the couple — particularly Meghan.

In twenty twenty, nine months after "Megxit," Trump wished Harry "good luck with Meghan" after the pair urged the American public not to vote for him in the election.

During a press conference, when asked about Harry and Meghan's remarks, he replied: "I'm not a fan of hers.

I'll say this — and she probably has heard that — but I wish a lot of luck to Harry, because he's going to need it."

On another occasion, when Harry's visa status made headlines, and after Trump had repeatedly threatened that he would not allow him to remain in the United States, the president said: "I'll leave Harry alone. He's got enough problems with his wife. She's terrible."

Returning to Trump's latest remarks, the president focused particularly on Markle and criticised her conduct toward the late Queen Elizabeth the Second and her treatment of King Charles.

"I think they were very disrespectful to the Royal Family. I didn't like that. I didn't like the way Meghan behaved. I thought she was horribly disrespectful to the Queen and to King Charles," he said.
