<\/p>\nUS President Donald Trump has shared a misleading video of King Charles on social media, edited to make it look like the royal shrugged and walked away when a man fainted in front of him. <\/p>\n
The footage was used in a video montage posted to Trump’s Truth Social platform, splicing together clips that appear to show other world leaders being disrespectful. It then cuts to a nearly three-minute compilation of the President honouring US service members and hugging veterans, with Christina Perri’s 2011 hit A Thousand Years playing over the top.<\/p>\n
Captions over some of the clips read: “The side of Trump the media doesn’t show you” and “the people’s president”. <\/p>\n
The footage of the King was pulled from a much longer video filmed in 2020, when he was still Prince of Wales. It was filmed when he visited a supermarket distribution centre in Bristol during the Covid-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n

It showed the then-Prince talking to a worker who began to sway before collapsing to the ground. <\/p>\n
In the full video, which Trump did not share, Charles reaches out to the man as he falls. He also stays close as the worker receives medical attention. <\/p>\n
Trump’s version cuts out this part, only using the end when Charles walked away. <\/p>\n
When asked by the BBC, Buckingham Palace would not comment on the video \u2013 neither did the White House. <\/p>\n
The video also featured French president Emanual Macron with a guardsman collapsing behind him, and former President Joe Biden appearing to check his watch during a military repatriation ceremony. <\/p>\n
Trump has previously praised the King, labelling him “the greatest King” and a “fantastic man”. <\/p>\n
