Breathe
By Laura Pérez Cisneros
Few human beings have the fortune to tell stories that no one else has, and one of them was Queen Elizabeth II, one of the priorities in her official agenda were the meetings with the presidents of a great ally like the United States, in total 14 leaders both Republicans and Democrats from Harry Truman to Joe Biden met her.
But there is one, and Republican who returns to The White House from January 20, 2025, Donald Trump, who -normal in him- dared to fail to protocol in his meeting with the British monarch during his first term, yes, the same one who was also part of the "Crazy Parties" and who con-drank with the pederast Jeffrey Epstein, other attendees at these celebrations of wine and women, were Prince Andrew of England - son of Elizabeth II- and Bill Clinton.
And it is that Trump's arrogance and narcissism always go hand in hand. Can you imagine how he will come back from 2025?
He surpassed his 2016 numbers: From 304 electoral votes he went to 312, he gained control in Congress, he painted the country red, but if there is something that this 78 year old man does NOT have is being a gentleman, just remember during the change of power when shortly before the ceremony when he arrived at the White House, he left Melania behind , to enter the presidential residence alone and it was the Obamas who reacted quickly and placed Mrs. Trump in the middle of them, to give him the passage to what would be his home for the next four years.
State Visit.
Since stepping foot in the British capital in June 2019, Trump right off the bat went off on London's Muslim-born mayor Sadiq Khan whom he called a "loser and a creep" in response to criticism made by the mayor that the US president should not be given a red carpet.
The day arrived, at Windsor Castle was the reception, the queen, accustomed to the English punctuality, arrived at the royal gardens with a blue tailored suit, topped by a beautiful hat, there alone she waited for two long minutes, which for the punctuality of her country is a lot, the presidential helicopter landed; The music of the royal band played, the Trump family arrived, greeted the monarch and without courtesy Donald Trump did not make a small bow before Elizabeth II -it was not his obligation but it was desirable- from there the president stood to the right of the queen to begin the ceremonial inspection of the troops and before the astonished eyes of those present Donald Trump advanced leaving the queen behind, She, smiled amused even as a naughty girl hid behind the American president, he turned to the left and not seeing her continued his way enjoying the spotlight, it was the grandmother of William and Harry who then hurried the pace and caught up with the president of the United States there was never a "Excuse me, your majesty".
This embarrassing moment has nothing to do with the ride the sovereign took on horseback with Ronald Reagan. President Bill Clinton was able to meet the mother of the current King Charles III, and recalled that, although the queen's hair had turned gray, she had what he described as "Youthful eyes, she has these baby blue eyes, just piercing."
With the Obamas, she was so happy to be with the most famous queen in the world, that Michelle at one point put her arm around Elizabeth II's back and although it is not allowed by protocol, the queen even enjoyed this show of affection.
It was 1982, a young senator named Joe Biden had the opportunity to meet the Queen of England and was the last to have a meeting with her at Windsor, President Biden said he didn't think she would be insulted if he said, "She reminded me of my mother in terms of her looks and her generosity."
These are 14 stories of her encounters with U.S. presidents that Elizabeth II took to her grave, but without a doubt the one that stands out is Trump and let's just say that not because of his good manners. These are not fairy tales, they are True Stories.
