President Trump denies being late to meet Queen during UK visit
DONALD Trump has denied being late to meet the Queen during his visit to the UK - and instead claims she was the one who kept him waiting.
The US president was speaking about his trip to Britain last month during a passionate campaign rally in Pennsylvania last night.
He blasted the media as "fake, fake disgusting news" amid reports he had been late for his meeting with Queen Elizabeth II and that he had overstayed his welcome.
Mr Trump told the crowd: "I was asked to have tea with the Queen, who is incredible by the way. Incredible.
"I landed [and] I'm on the ground and I'm waiting with the King's and the Queen's guards - wonderful people. I'm waiting.
"I was about 15 minutes early and I'm waiting with my wife and that's fine.
"Hey, it's the Queen, right? We can wait. But I'm a little early."
The billionaire continues: "So, I then go up and meet the Queen and she is fantastic. We then go up and we have tea.
"And I didn't know this - it was supposed to last 15 minutes but it lasted like an hour. Because we got along. And she liked our first lady and our first lady liked her.
"But we got along fantastically well. But the time went by - you know, sometimes you get along and the time goes by.
