U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a brutal rejection of Meghan Markle live on television. The comment has sent shockwaves through the media and royal circles, with many calling it a sharp turn in the already tense relationship between the two high-profile figures.
The exchange occurred during a live interview where Trump was asked about the Duchess of Sussex's recent political involvement, particularly her outspoken views on social justice and the royal family. Trump, known for his unapologetic and blunt style, didn’t hold back, responding with biting remarks that left many viewers in disbelief.
"Meghan Markle? I don’t know her, I don’t think much of her," Trump began, his words leaving little room for interpretation. He continued, "She's always looking for attention, and she’s trying to put herself in the spotlight in the most dramatic way possible. I think she's made some bad choices."
When pressed further about Markle’s public statements and her perceived role in challenging the monarchy, Trump didn’t hesitate: "She’s had a rough time with the royals, and honestly, I think it’s better for her to stay out of politics. She’s better suited to act, maybe stay in Hollywood—something more suited to her, but politics? Not for her."
His words echoed what many critics have said about Meghan Markle's foray into political advocacy. While some view her as a force for good, advocating for women’s rights and equality, others believe her actions are too controversial and self-serving. Trump’s remarks, however, have raised the stakes in this ongoing public saga.
Markle, who stepped back from royal duties alongside Prince Harry in 2020, has since made headlines with her Netflix documentary, her podcast "Archetypes," and her vocal political stances. Despite her popularity among certain circles, she has faced immense criticism from both sides of the political spectrum, often accused of being out of touch or self-interested.
This latest comment from Trump comes at a time when both figures have become increasingly intertwined in the public consciousness, with Markle’s global influence and Trump’s continued political clout dominating media discussions. Their differing approaches to fame and influence have led to a fierce and ongoing clash of ideologies.
Critics of Trump argue that his rejection of Markle is politically motivated, seeking to align himself with more conservative values while dismissing someone who has advocated for progressive causes. Supporters, on the other hand, applaud his directness and no-nonsense approach to public figures who they believe aren’t contributing meaningfully to the public discourse.
Regardless of the perspective, one thing is clear: the feud between Donald Trump and Meghan Markle is far from over. With each passing comment, their rivalry continues to fuel headlines and public fascination, showing no signs of fading into the background.
As for Markle, her camp has yet to respond to Trump’s latest remarks, but given her history of standing up to public criticism, it’s likely that this won’t be the last time she addresses the comments made by the former president.
For now, the world watches closely, waiting for the next round in this increasingly bitter w
