US President Donald Trump shared a misleadingly edited video on his Truth Social platform that appeared to depict King Charles III as disrespectful towards a fainting worker. The video, shared on Labor Day, juxtaposed clips of world leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and former President Joe Biden, in seemingly unflattering moments with footage of Trump engaging in acts of service and patriotism.
The specific clip of King Charles was taken from a longer video recorded in July 2020, when he was Prince of Wales, during a visit to an Asda supermarket distribution center. The original footage shows Charles reaching out to the man as he fell and remaining nearby while the worker received medical attention. Trump's shared video omits the King's supportive actions.
