President Donald Trump Calls Meghan Markle "Nasty"

The President of the United States has a habit of calling people names or using negative adjectives to describe them. He has done that to people in the past. However, just this week he described Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex in a negative way. She made a remark about him when he was campaigning in 2016 for the highest office in America.

President Trump called Meghan Markle "nasty" over a past critical comment even though they both have moved on. He won the election to become President of the United States, and she has become a royal wife and mother.

Trump's remark is giving people something to talk about and it is overshadowing his trip to the United Kingdom where he is widely disliked. He has only a 21 percent positive approval rating there.

People protested when he visited last July. After Trump arrived in the UK this week, people lined the streets to protest again this year.

Donald Trump was interviewed by the British newspaper The Sun before his scheduled trip to the United Kingdom. He was asked about his reaction to Meghan Markle description of him during a 2016 appearance on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore.

The president remarked, “I didn’t know that she was nasty.” He followed up by saying he wished her well. He added that he is sure she will be excellent as a royal.

President Trump will not get a chance to come face-to-face with the Duchess of Sussex during his state visit to the United Kingdom. He should not think she will deliberately avoid him. The Duchess of Sussex has a good reason not to be in the presence of Donald Trump even though she still is a citizen of the United States.

Meghan is on maternity leave after having given birth to a baby boy on May 6, 2019. She has not returned to royal duties since the arrival of Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor just three weeks ago.

Before Meghan became the Duchess of Sussex, she did make a remark about the then-presidential candidate. She appeared on a nightly talk show and described him as “divisive” and “misogynistic.” She said she would continue to live in Canada where she was shooting the legal drama, Suits if he won the election. This was before she met and began dating Prince Harry.

Meghan had a distaste for Trump as a politician before she became a royal. Her remarks became part of public record. As a royal, she isn’t allowed to make public political statements now about Trump or any other politician.

President Trump has called other people names and given negative descriptions of them. He did it while he was campaigning and he hasn't stopped now that he is the 45th President of the United States.

There are so many negative nicknames and negative comments Trump has made that Wikipedia has an entire page with the nicknames listed to criticize foreign leaders, media figures, politicians and even organizations. Check out the chart below to see some of the names President Trump has used to criticize others. Notice that he has given more than one name to some people.
