Former United States President Donald Trump surprised viewers by appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live and launching a scathing attack on Prince Harry, the ex-royal who recently relocated to California with Meghan Markle.
Trump, promoting his latest book, “The Art of the Comeback 2, Electric Boogaloo,” did not mince words in expressing his disdain for Harry, labeling him a traitor and a fraud.
The outburst followed a clip of Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, where he cited racism and oppression from the British media and monarchy as reasons for leaving the royal family.
Dismissing Harry’s claims as false and sensationalized, Trump accused him of being driven by greed, envy, and ambition rather than noble intentions.
He asserted that Harry’s decision to sign a Netflix deal stemmed from financial insecurity after being cut off by his family, rather than a desire to escape oppressive circumstances.
Trump ridiculed Harry for allegedly sacrificing his integrity for monetary gain and allowing Meghan to dominate his life, branding him as weak and pitiful.
In a bold move, Trump challenged Harry to a televised showdown to settle their differences and determine the superior individual.
Whether it be a physical altercation, a lyrical battle, or an intellectual challenge, Trump vowed to demonstrate his superiority over Harry and establish himself as the true leader.
The audience and host Jimmy Kimmel were left shocked and uncertain how to react to Trump’s aggressive stance, prompting attempts to pacify him, which were disregarded.
Not limiting his criticism to Harry, Trump also targeted Meghan, labeling her as a manipulative and opportunistic figure who had exploited Harry for personal gain.
He accused her of being a detrimental influence on Harry’s life and urged him to reconsider their relationship.
The derogatory remarks sparked widespread controversy and condemnation, with many deeming them disrespectful and offensive towards the couple.
Amid the uproar caused by Trump’s appearance, supporters of Harry and Meghan rallied in defense of the couple, expressing solidarity and sympathy towards the ongoing scrutiny they faced post-Oprah interview.
Despite the backlash, Harry and Meghan have refrained from responding directly to Trump’s comments, with sources close to them indicating shock and dismay at the disparaging remarks.
The fallout from Trump’s tirade has reignited debates surrounding the treatment of the couple and the boundaries of public discourse.
