  • Donald Trump shared an edited video that appears to show King Charles ignoring a man who fainted during a 2020 visit to a supermarket distribution center.
  • The full footage shows Charles reaching toward the man as he fell and remaining nearby while he received medical attention.
  • Buckingham Palace declined to comment, while the White House did not respond to a request for comment.

A video shared by Donald Trump appears to show King Charles shrugging and walking away from a man who fainted during a royal visit. But the clip has been edited to remove what happened next.

Trump posted the video on Truth Social as part of a montage portraying other world leaders as disrespectful. The montage then switches to images of Trump honoring fallen U.S. troops, hugging veterans and shaking hands with law enforcement officers.

The footage of Charles came from a longer video recorded in July 2020, when he was still Prince of Wales and visited an Asda supermarket distribution center in Bristol during the Covid pandemic. In the complete footage, Charles reaches out as the man falls and remains close while he receives medical attention.

The version shared by Trump cuts out the part showing the future king staying beside the worker. Buckingham Palace said it would not comment. The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
