During a lavish banquet at Buckingham Palace on Monday, President Donald Trump noted the coming 75th anniversary of D-Day and the British royal family’s steadfastness and dedication during World War II.
Now, as Washington Post Fact Checker Glenn Kessler can attest, Trump is not always accurate with his claims. With this one, though, he is spot on. By February 1945, the war was still raging and Elizabeth had turned 18. At her own insistence, according to the Royal Collection Trust, she joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service as a subaltern and trained as a truck mechanic and driver.
By the end of the war later that year, Elizabeth had reached the rank of junior commander. To this day, she is the only female member of the royal family to have served in the military.
Yes
QEII overcame her bonespurs and was indeed a mechanic.
More service than he's ever given his country.
'Now, as Washington Post Fact Checker Glenn Kessler can attest, Trump is not always accurate with his claims. With this one, though, he is spot on.'
So if he’s incorrect...what does that mean... Lemme guess!?! IMPEACH! IMPEACH!! Ridiculous reporting
I heard she had bone spurs.
I believe that might be true!

Donald Trump kicks off British visit with tweet against London mayor: ‘He is a stone cold loser’U.S. President Donald Trump arrived in Britain for a largely ceremonial visit meant to strengthen ties between the two nations, but the trip was immediately at risk of being overshadowed by Brexit turmoil and a political feud with London's mayor. No thank you Robin_Global Cecchini_DC What responsible mayor would send out a tweet inciting his citizens to protest against a head of state? BTW you posted a picture of a balloon mocking Trump. You DID NOT post the balloon mocking Sadiq... WHY NOT ? You have 2 to choose from.

Queen Elizabeth addresses state banquetQueen Elizabeth speaks during the state banquet for U.S. President Donald Trump addressing the relations between the two countries. Most unusual for Her Majesty to hold an formal event that includes a clown. CTV/Laflamme's near 100% negative coverage of Trump's state visit is a disgrace - almost as bad as that rude jerk of a London mayor.

The one royal who knows how to trump Trump - Macleans.caThe U.S. president seems intimidated by the widely respected Queen Elizabeth II Maclean's Magazine SEEMS to be pulling opinions out of their assholes rather than reporting the news. The photo would have been more balanced had the Queen been in the middle and Mrs. Trump at the end. anyone that is respected would be intimidated by Trump. He is a bottom feeder that only appeals to the masses similar to Hitler or Mussolini's appeal

No 'brooch warfare': Queen keeps it simple for TrumpQueen Elizabeth II kept her jewelry simple for her meeting with Donald Trump, choosing to wear the Cambridge Emerald Brooch – with no sign of the ‘brooch warfare’ that some interpreted in her last face-to-face with the U.S. president.

Trump meets queen, escalates feud with London mayorMixing pageantry and political pugilism, President Donald Trump opened a state visit to Britain on Monday by drawing a smile from Queen Elizabeth II and stepping up a long-running feud with London's anti-Trump mayor before his plane had touched down on English soil.
