"Did the Queen 'troll Trump' with her brooches?"

"And one Twitter user has suggested that the Queen herself was conducting a protest of her own with the choice of brooches she wore during Donald Trump's time in England.
Despite the fact Her Majesty is strictly neutral when it comes to political matters, social media is convinced otherwise.

Julie (@SamaruiKnitter) took to Twitter to suggest the monarch's choice in brooch during Trump's time in England made a bold statement.

Addressing her 4,000-strong following, Julie said: 'She wore three brooches while she and Trump were both in town. The day he arrived, the day of the banquet, and the day she actually met him for tea. (sic)'”...cont...

Wearing the Obamas' gift brooch (which I love that they gave her and that she wears) to meet Trump might have looked TOO obvious, but I wish she had!

She's also an incredible mimic, so I'm guessing she had a jolly time over dinner with Prince Phillip, relating Dolt45's stabs at English.

He probably never stopped talking about himself the entire time. He's oblivious to everyone but himself. He didn't have the manners to offer her his arm when they were reviewing the line of royal guards outside. The Queen probably didn't care though, she was just happy to see him out the door.

The Canadian brooch isn't just a troll because Canada is our ally. I think it's also a troll because it's a snowflake! Trump loves to think everyone else is the snowflake but in reality, it's he who is the real snowflake!!

I wonder if the fat cheapskate gave the Queen anything as a gift? She'll probably throw it straight in the bin.

Maybe a whole pack this time. I still can't believe what he did to Angela Merkel. He has no respect for powerful women.

1) A special broach the Obamas gave her the first day.

2) A special broach her mother wore to her father's STATE FUNERAL.

3) A special Sapphire broach from Canada!

I said 2 days ago that "Grandma can handle". lol
