King Charles' Reaction as Rod Stewart Says Trump is A 'Ratbag'

Singer Rod Stewart told King Charles that he did an "absolutely superb" job during his U.S. state visit because he put "that ratbag in his place" in an apparent reference to President Donald Trump. Charles visited Washington, D.C, at the end of April when he gave a speech to Congress challenging Trump on subjects ranging from support for Ukraine to NATO and the war in Iran. The king risked the monarchy's highly prized neutrality in the process but kept to the foreign policy goals of the British Foreign Office. Stewart met Charles at a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the King's Trust at the Royal Albert Hall on Monday night and told the monarch: "May I say, well done in the Americas. You were superb, absolutely superb; put that little ratbag in his place."
