THE Queen felt being asked to smell Donald Trump’s fingers on his official visit to the UK was a breach of etiquette, a biographer has claimed.
A new book about Elizabeth II reports that during Trump’s 2018 visit he repeatedly invited her to ‘sniff them’, going so far as to lift his hand to her face for a prolonged period.
The book continues: “It appears that President Trump, due to a misunderstanding caused by his own stupidity, had convinced himself all Britons thought Americans were ‘dirty’.
“Working himself into a characteristic mania, he then began to rail against England for its belief that its transatlantic cousins did not know how to wipe their bottoms. By the time his plane touched down it was all he could talk about.
“Consequently, the bulk of his summit with Theresa May was taken up with an extensive discussion of his post-excremental ablution technique, with mimed demonstrations, and the providing of visual proof there is indeed a flushing toilet on Air Force One.
“This was not enough to dislodge the notion. When he met the Queen the following day, he asked her to smell his fingers. She declined and yet he still forced the issue.”
It adds: “They smelled, of course, of shit.”
