Donald Trump shares misleading video of King Charles and fainting worker

US President Donald Trump has shared a misleading video on social media which appears to show King Charles shrugging and walking away from a man who fainted during a royal visit.

The footage, which has been edited, features in a video shared by Trump on his Truth Social platform which appears to show other world leaders being disrespectful. The video goes on to show a montage of clips where Trump is seen honouring fallen US troops, hugging veterans and shaking hands with law enforcement officers.

The clip of the King was taken from a longer video when, as Prince of Wales, he was visiting an Asda supermarket distribution centre in Bristol during the Covid pandemic in July 2020.

The full footage, which Trump did not use, showed Charles reaching out to the man as he fell before remaining close by as he received medical attention. The video posted by Trump edits out the King staying close to the worker.

Buckingham Palace said it was not something it would comment on. The White House has not responded to a request for comment.

The three-minute video was posted by the president on the US Labor Day holiday and opens with footage of French President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee Palace as a guardsman appears to collapse behind him.

The Truth Social video also shows former President Joe Biden apparently checking his watch during a military repatriation ceremony and former President Barack Obama stepping off the Marine One helicopter and saluting US marines while holding a paper cup in his hand.

These are followed by a series of clips where Trump is seen picking up the cap of a US marine, saluting at a repatriation ceremony and comforting the families of fallen soldiers.

Captions saying "the side of Trump the media doesn't show you" and "the people's president" appear during some of the clips and the song A Thousand Years by Christina Perri plays throughout the video.

Trump has frequently spoken of his good relationship with Charles and described him as "the greatest king in my book" at the end of the King and Queen's state visit to the US in April.
