Donald Trump mocked his successor Joe Biden for sitting 14 rows from the front at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral – and claimed he would not be seated so far ‘back there’ if he were still president.
Trump sounded off on his Truth Social platform on Monday evening, shortly after the Queen was laid to rest in the UK. Trump posted an image highlighting Biden’s position behind more than a dozen rows.
‘This is what’s happened to America in just two short years. No respect! However, a good time for our President to get to know the leaders of certain Third World countries,’ wrote Trump.
‘If I were president, they wouldn’t have sat me back there—and our Country would be much different than it is right now!’

A lot of decisions went into the seating, including putting UK guests and heads of state of the Commonwealth nations ahead of other countries. If it is accurate then Trump is claiming he would do whatever he wanted to do at the funeral, and that is not in keeping with the respect he is supposed to have had for the queen. Hard to tell.
On the other hand I wouldn't want to be seated ahead of Trudeau either.
Ouch.. That is gonna leave a mark.
I understand there would be protocols, but why was he put behind Poland? They’re not “commonwealth” nations.
Well, to be fair, Joe didn’t know where he was; he thought he was there to hear Queen sing Bohemian Rhapsody.
Show up late you end up in the back.
This reminds me of Alice Roosevelt Longworth quote about her father, Theodore Roosevelt: My father always wanted to be the corpse at every funeral, the bride at every wedding and the baby at every christening.
Trump doesn’t have to worry about The Dirty Diaper Miasma which clings to Ol’ ShizzPantz.
Like America's disgraceful withdrawal from Afghanistan with our tails between our legs and the Taliban laughing at us?
including putting UK guests and heads of state of the Commonwealth nations ahead of other countries.
Commonwealth nations like Jamaica and Uganda?
You are kissing right?
Sorry, I find this uncouth!
This is the FUNERAL of a monarch and the GUESTS will sit where the FAMILY decides! If DJT thinks that Brandon chose his seat, then Trump just shows his ugly ego to everyone else!
STUPID is what this is AND UNNECESSARY to boot!
Lincoln (I think): “It is better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt!”
They wouldn’t have seated President Trump that far back. The Bidens warrant no respect of course…they’re trash and their whole family are trash and criminals. Not a single one has accomplished anything, other than selling out the USA for personal gain.
Biden thought he was at an “Inflation Reduction Act” bill signing ceremony. He finally managed to draw a crowd.
Precisely. This discussion is unnecessary. Trump doesn’t make funeral arrangements for the Queen.
Why not?
At least Pres. T. Roosevelt accepted his far back seating at the funeral of Queen Victoria.
UK Foreign Office determines guests and seating beyond closer family. Don’t think they’re big Trump fans.
Trump said they would not have told him to sit back there.
Uncouth of him to say it, but he’s actually probably correct.
Ha haaa
God love ya Trump!
I’ve seen video that even in the UK they were yelling FJB as he drove by..
“He then added another remark: ‘In Real Estate, like in Politics and in Life, LOCATION IS EVERYTHING!!!’”
President Trump is spot on about the importance of having the best seats at a funeral and how the Royal Family would have made sure a President Trump would have better represented America.
Please. A mark? All Biden has to say as well at least I’m here. Where the hell are you?
