Donald Trump Warning To Meghan Markle: ‘Have To Be A Little Different Than That’

She’s been the focus of intense media attention for months and has admitted that the scrutiny she tends to face makes things very difficult for her. However, someone else who also sees a share of negative media attention has some advice for Meghan Markle about how she needs to really look at her situation.

Speaking to Nigel Farage on LBC, President Donald Trump discussed with his host whether or not he felt sorry for the Duchess of Sussex following her admittance in the documentary “Harry & Meghan: An African Journey” that she’s been having a hard time adjusting to the negative attention she’s received since joining the royal family. While he didn’t explicitly say he sympathized with her, the President, who sees his own fair share of less than flattering press, advised her to not take things as personally as she seems to.

“Well, I’ve been watching her interviews and I’ve seen it, and she’s taken it very personally,” he said, “I guess you have to be a little bit different than that.”

“But she takes it very, very personally, and I can understand it,” he continued. “But I don’t know her. I will say I’ve met Harry, he’s great. He is really a fine young man, the whole family is terrific.”

Of course, Trump has had his own history of negative press, and is known for dubbing the mainstream media as the “Fake News Media.” He even blamed the media for misconstruing comments he made before his State Visit to London in June, where he was asked about Markle, who is a U.S. citizen, and her comments from 2016 where she called him “Divisive” and “misogynistic.”

“I didn’t know that. What can I say? I didn’t know that she was nasty,” he was quoted as saying at the time.

He went on to deny that he called the Duchess nasty, stating that the media made it up.

Of course, Markle and Prince Harry have their own reasons for being wary of the negative coverage. When announcing that they were suing Associated Newspapers after their African tour, Prince Harry referred to the same incessant coverage his mother, Princess Diana received and admitted his fears that history was repeating itself with his wife. His mother famously died in 1997 after a car crash in Paris that was largely blamed on the paparazzi who were chasing her vehicle at the time.
