US President Donald Trump shared a misleading video on his Truth Social platform, depicting King Charles seemingly ignoring a man who fainted during a royal visit. The edited footage omits the part where Charles, then Prince of Wales, actually reached out to the man and stayed nearby as he received medical attention. The video, posted on US Labor Day, also includes clips of other world leaders in seemingly disrespectful situations, contrasting them with scenes of Trump honoring US troops and interacting with law enforcement. Captions in the video suggest that the media doesn’t show this side of Trump, and it features the song “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri. Despite Trump’s previous praise for King Charles, Buckingham Palace and the White House have not commented on the video.
