I was her favorite President, says Donald Trump about Late Queen Elizabeth II

In a recent unexpected declaration, Donald Trump claimed to be the late Queen Elizabeth II's "favorite president." He angrily refuted rumors that the Queen considered him to be "very rude." In a recent book, journalist Craig Brown claimed that Queen Elizabeth II disapproved of Trump and questioned his marriage to Melania. This infuriated Trump, who vented his fury at Brown. Trump appeared to be disputing the late monarch's memory with his remarks, although directing his wrath towards the journalist, as per the reports of Yahoo entertainment.

Unlikely bond with the Queen

With her extensive relationship with American presidents, it seems dubious that Trump was Queen Elizabeth's favorite president. She got familiar with 13 of the 14 presidents who held office under her rule. She was close to several of them, such as Barack Obama, Ronald Reagan, and Dwight D. Eisenhower. During a trip to the United States, the Queen lodged in Eisenhower's private chambers at Balmoral, her resort in Scotland. She was invited to celebrate her 90th birthday, and her love of horses cemented her friendship with Reagan. Trump asserted that the Queen thought well of him despite these established ties.

Trump's alleged conversations with the Queen

In an interview with DailyMail.com, Trump stated that he spoke with the Queen on a daily basis. He talked about how they spent "hours together at a state dinner" and how frequently they chatted, particularly during his trips to the UK in 2018 and 2019. The way the book portrayed their connection was attacked by Trump, who referred to it as "totally false" and called the author, Craig Brown, a "sleazebag." Trump claimed to have heard from sources close to the Queen that she confided in acquaintances that he was her favorite president.

Anecdotes play a major role in Craig Brown's biography, A Voyage Around the Queen, which attempts to depict the Queen's life. In one such tale, following one of Trump's trips, the Queen is said to have called him "very rude" and surmised that he must have had "some sort of arrangement" with Melania. In spite of these assertions, Jack Stooks, a former employee of Buckingham Palace, rejected the notion that the Queen would have ever spoken such things. According to Stooks, the Queen was never careless in her behavior, thus it was difficult to think that she would have voiced such views against Trump.
