After Meghan Markle & Prince Harry encouraged individuals to register to vote, Donald Trump has taken a cheap shot at Markle with some not so subtle shade.
Despite even her purest of intentions, it seems Meghan Markle cannot catch a break when it comes to winning over certain world leaders.
We’ve all heard the stories about the rift between Meghan and her in-laws over the years, but now it seems Meghan has caught the attention of US President Donald Trump who threw some not so subtle shade Meghan’s way during a new speech.
Speaking with members of the press on Sept. 23, President Trump made it abundantly clear that he’s not a fan of Markle directly stating, “I’m not a fan of hers, and she’s probably heard that.” He, however, did not stop there adding, “Is wish a lot of luck to Harry, ’cause he’s gonna need it.”
Why did Donald Trump call out Meghan Markle?

In the message, which aired on National Voter Registration Day, the couple referred to the 2020 election as “the most important election of our lifetime” and encouraged voters to ” reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity.”

The comments were seen by many as a subtle way by the couple in addressing their disapproval of President Trump. Judging by President Trump’s comments, it seems he too viewed the couple’s comments as an endorsement for his opponent which spurred him to verbally call Markle out in his latest address.
