In news that should surprise no one, Donald Trump‘s relationship with Queen Elizabeth II wasn’t as rosy as he always imagined it to be.
The former president’s warped ego was dealt another blow when he did not receive an invitation to the late queen’s funeral, according to New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman.

RawStory points to an intervew Haberman gave on CNN earlier this week, in which she told host John Berman:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Trump and people around Trump believe he had some sort of special connection to the queen. There’s, for some reason, some expectation around people close to Trump that he should be getting an invitation. He fancied himself as having some kind of close relationship with her. A former aide to Trump told me, ‘No, the queen really liked him.'”
Haberman has heard nothing to support the idea that Elizabeth II, who met with Trump during his trip to the United Kingdom in 2019, held him in any kind of special regard.
“I have no reason to believe, from anything I have ever heard or read, that the queen felt as if she had some special connection to Donald Trump,” she said.

Queen Elizabeth II reigned over the United Kingdom from 1952 until her death on Thursday at the age of 96. The longest-reigning British monarch, her royal majesty worked with fourteen British prime ministers throughout her time as queen.

Thrust into the role at age 25 after the death of her father, she reigned through the Suez Canal Crisis, the decolonization of Africa, the formation of the European Union, the decriminalization of homosexuality, and most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic.
While generally seen as being pro-LGBTQ towards the end of her reign, she stayed largely silent on queer rights, only expressing moderate support that reflected the evolving social and political landscape.
In 2013, she signed a historic equal rights charter supporting LGBTQ people.

Queen Elizabeth didn’t hold well for bad manners and Trump was the epitome of loutish behavior…from walking ahead of her at the Trouping of the Colours and his sloppy dressing to making her wait while he took his time to arrive. He’s a pig and it wasn’t taken well.
Justnanny
Brilliant comment. Trump’s the scumbag of the earth. I also think the Queen was just a person born into a family of centuries of inbreeding and muddled up DNA. Very unintelligent. They also robbed other countries of their resources and human rights under Colonialism so I think worshipping “Royalty” is stupid.

@woodroad34 – giving you a thumb’s up here, so give me a few minutes while I look for the button….

2 words: Spot On !

Justnanny, I actually believe the Queen to have been quite intelligent.
ptseti
Beautifully stated. ????????

POS feels a certain kinship with Her Majesty because his place of birth shares a name with hers……
abfab
POS will be invited to Ken Starr’s shindig. That should keep him happy for a while.
RIGay
No, he’s angry at Starr for not returning his calls this week about being his attorney again.
Prax07
Trump was a dirty wet diaper wearing shit stain, her corgis turds would sooner be invited than him. If that bothers him at all, that’s Excellent.
stanpaske
BFS! He claimed to be knighted. Dickhead Donald is out for glory. Cannot wait til that glory has a hole at the end. Donald sucks and he will be on his knees before the sun goes down.

why does a former US president think they would be ‘invited’ to the funeral of a Head of State. Protocol generally means only current Heads get the invite.
RoughRugger
The former US Presidents did NOT expect to be invited; the former Russia-installed puppet, on the other hand, has his knickers in the utmost of twists.
bachy
Failure 45 imagines that the British are going to proffer the “special treatment” he’s enjoyed in the US for decades. Um, I don’t think so. And it looks like that “special treatment” is finally coming to an end in the US as well.
Fingers crossed.
RIGay
Fingers crossed.
johncp56
She the late Queen live around horses most of her life, she knows horse shit and he is just that,
can everyone remmmber how he walked in front of here like he was waiting on the dogs, who doe snot forget the time on stage when he came from the back and pushed men out of the way,
what a classsssy act that morn is
ScottOnEarth
Why is anyone even giving this oxygen? trump is a deranged nitwit whose fragile and twisted ego always has to place him at the center of everything. He’s a fat, sloppy, ugly, ill-mannered pig, so it’s highly likely that Queen had very little regard or affection for him. He’s thoroughly disgusting, while Queen Elizabeth was all things composed, gracious and elegant.
RIGay
Because it was announced on NewFox (previously known as CNN).
carllonghorn
You’re right – a really big problem with tRump in America nowadays is that he is still getting oxygen on the airwaves. He craves it, and the people around him and who support him crave it. It needs to be cut off so we can all move on. He only survives because he continues to be newsworthy.
Max
if anyone believed there was something special going on, they’re living in a fantasy and also ignorant.
RIGay
Yes, Knighted. Only they will use the Guillotine for the service.
bachy
LOL!
Jim
Why is this a story. We’ve always known he was a legend in his own mind.
Cam
Trump’s delusions are hilarious.
As for the part about the Queen, I love the whole “Thrust into the role at 25……”
Many people are “Thrust into” the working world to help out their families at the age of 15 and aren’t given millions of dollars of years and multiple houses on the backs of taxpayers.
Rick
I think they used that phrase “thrust into the role” as meaning that she was pretty required to be the queen as a birthright (or curse, depending on her attitude about the role.) She had little choice in the matter.
Duchess of Bellwether
Like a great many people you seem to think the monarchy is wholly funded from taxation. This is not correct. The Sovereign Grant is part of the profit from the Crown Estates. The balance of that profit goes to the treasury. Only security is funded by government.
Georgeiv2
Or who felt it was their duty to carry on working at 96 years of age indeed meeting with the new PM two days before she died !
LumpyPillows
The Queen was most excellent at masking her feelings. Anyone who watched her when she was with Trump can see she is not happy. Trump is everything the Queen found detestable in “leaders”.
Mr. Stadnick
I don’t think anyone ever believed he had a “special” relationship with the Queen. He is deluded and making a fool out of himself. No one with an iota of sense ever thought he would be invited to her funeral. Never mind he is not the head of state but he is a vulgar lummox.
Pitiful and pathetic man who is just waiting for his comeuppance.
seven5tx
The Queen who was always very good at hiding her personal feelings clearly shows in the photos meeting the tangerine terd that she hates him. Same for Pope Francis
kevkev
The Queen hated The Pope?
Kangol2
As always with Don the Con, garbage in, garbage out!
MISTERJETT
it’s a well known fact that she hated him. the Pope also hates him and when the Pope hates you, there is something seriously wrong with you.
RoughRugger
She didn’t even have to say a word. You could tell solely from her body language when they were together that she thought he was a complete lout.
marshal phillips
My royal sources surmised the queen was not amused by Trump at all. In fact, after he left she told one corgi “He’s a feckless blowhard.”
Diplomat
The only thing special about global trouble maker Donald Trump’s connection with the Queen of England is the fact he walked ahead of the Queen when they met, and the world was aghast by that behavior. That’s bad boy Trump’s life long legacy regarding his “special” connection with the Queen of England.
ericr_wilson
There was absolutely no way Queen Elizabeth would like tramp in ANY capacity – and for numerous reasons. First and foremost, tramp lacks class. I rest my case.
SteveRic
And the Royal Household said, “Donald who?”
james7
One more reason to be glad that Trump is not longer President: if he were he’d go to funeral even if he had to crash it, and somehow make the funeral all about him.
humble charlie
why should the orange blob care what an old woman wearing a bucket for a hat thinks?
ghtyler1
Clearly you’re not a fashionista fan.
twomen4u
It is a shame there is NOT a second grave on his golf course – his! No one has addressed why he took control of everything with ex-wife #1. The children should have been in charge and of course, he had to be in charge.
Thank God President Biden has worked hard to restore the US to the place of prominence it once had with world leaders and world organizations. The disgraced twice impeached fuehrer destroyed treaties and relationships throughout the world. President Biden and his wife deserve to attend the funeral representing the US. It has been said they will meet with King Charles III and the new PM. Can you imagine if it was the idiot????
ptseti
Why would Elizabeth, the epitome of manners would want to invite this orange, bloated turd at her funeral? Why would the Palace specifically invite this self absorbed, ill-mannered, lying sack to the funeral? Is he a HOS? Is he Royalty? Well only in LIEMERIKA ‘he is.
Look the Brits are very good at masking their feelings for a clown. It so happens they masked their feeling for this ill-mannered, full of hot air bastard that NO one would want to sit beside anyway. Bye Felicia ????
IanHunter
She picked up on his shit years ago. Nobody want to have anything to do with that.
BigJohnSF
She supported gay rights, but was mum on “queer” rights.
LumpyPillows
“Queer” rights? What are those?
Kangol2
She signed off on an LGBTQ bill but was muted in her support of gay rights. In her personal life, she dealt with equanimity with some high-profile gay, bi, and queer people, including her brother-in-law, photographer Lord Snowdon; her Surveyor of Pictures (chief art curator), art historian Anthony Blunt, who was later revealed to have been a Soviet spy; her husband’s uncle, military leader Lord Mountbatten, assassinated by the IRA; and others.
DBMC
Giving her too much credit either way.
marshal phillips
She certainly knew many gays who worked for her.
words2lvby
I believe they confiscated ALL of his passports.
TomG
Come on, we ALL KNOW that Trump lives in some alternative reality with alternative facts etc. Nothing new here.
Jimmynj
In his pea sized brain, he thinks everyone loves him. Why would the royal family want that piece of trash at the funeral for Queen Elizabeth II? He would make it a photo op for himself. Donald, get over it and get ready for prison. You’ll be there soon.
LMG
The word “UNCTUOUS” has more than 50 definitions. Between tRump and Notworthapence, they can account for more than 90% of them. Enough said.
