I still wouldn’t call myself a royalist, nor am I a big supporter of the military, but I think I ought to flag this video up as essential viewing. The incident it details is almost beyond belief: Donald Trump’s son Eric apparently recently tried to make one of the Coldstream Guards at Buckingham Palace break with protocol and salute him, simply for being the son of the current US president. What followed was a truly repugnant diplomatic incident in which Trump Jr showed himself to be the entitled, arrogant piece of shit he is. It is detailed really well in the video, so I’ll let it speak for itself; yet it tells us all we know about what a pathetic scumbag Trump is. What kind of vermin demands to be saluted by Palace guards, simply because they are the offspring of the criminal who the Americans currently call their president? All I have to say is, huge respect for the guard in question for holding his cool; although it strikes me as a bit odd that so little is being said about this despicable event elsewhere.

ADDENDUM Many people are now pointing out to me that the video I linked to is a fake and the incident never happened. To be honest I feel quite embarrassed to have fallen for it. I should have spotted it, although you must admit it’s the type of thing you would expect from Eric Trump.
