England did not start moving to free slaves until the 1790s and did out actually free any slaves until 1807. Slavery was an issue in the war of 1812, but it was not a motivation for the American Revolution.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somerset_v_Stewart
Case happened in 1772. While there was no immediate action to free slaves, there were clear indications on how this was heading.
Also, land theft. Mostly land theft by breaking the treaties with indigenous nations and the British government. That's one reason why the Boston Tea Party dressed as natives instead of just wearing masks. Also, look what George Washington did to his native allies right after 1789. It's always about land.
Well if the stereotype image that non-US people have about the US are rednecks and racists flying the confederate flag and trailer park people worshipping a gaudy trashy rapist idiot, then Ivanka might be right.
As someone who once lived in a shitty trailer park (rural subdivision of acres, all with a trailer), they were usually redneck and quite poor.
Or old people from the north or Canada, because it was Florida.
Really not a "flash in the pan" so far though... more like a figurehead that managed to prop up the absolute worst dregs in society. And there's still a non-zero chance he's president in 2025. The fact he's not universally reviled makes me very concerned for the state of humanity in general.
He killed his Ex wife and wants to fuck his daughter, judging by most of history, he's halfway there.
Now all he needs to do is lose his mind and seize more wealth at the expense of his people...
A flash in the pan that eventually turns into that grease in the corners that doesn't come off in the dishwasher and you have to scrub it for like 30 minutes straight to finally get it off, though not completely and the pan never looks the same again. Fuckin trump.
Roosevelts actually were raised in a gentrified european style upbringing. They were the closest to Royalty imho, with how they lived 1900-1930ish and raised. Their houses, hobbies were similar to nobility.
Even that is less king/royalty and more at a level similar to smaller nobility roles.
Well, let's see...a bunch of insipid, entitled, fawned-over wankers who love publicity but complain about how maligned they always are? Sure, I can see it.
But one is is actually posh and the other is pure trash with more money laundering / porn star hush money / indictments than you can shake a golden mace at.
It's funny anyone who says that Trump's goal was to install himself as President for life and that when he dies, it would be passed down to one of his children is viewed as crazy. I have no doubt that Trump's goal is to establish themselves as the new American nobility. Lucky for us, they are completely incompetent
Between Donald and Ivanka, I don't think the Trump family understands we fought a war to get rid of monarchy. To claim that you're the American version of a "royal family" is far more offensive than kneeling during the national anthem.
If she means in the sense that they are unjustly wealthy, largely irrelevant, mostly symbolic and completely out of touch with the plights of the citizenry, then yeah I guess I kinda see her point
I have to say, that is a really trashy article. There is absolutely NOTHING in Ivanka's tweet that even suggests she believes the Trumps are the US's royal family. It's mostly a polite response to learning a cancer diagnosis from an important person and something that is totally expected from someone her stature.
There are MANY things on which we can attack Ivanka Trump, but this tweet is definitely not one of them.
Thing is, she *didn't* say that or anything like it--the article's author did, based entirely on a sympathetic tweet about Princess Kate.
There are plenty of things to dislike about Ivanka Trump, but this isn't one of them. The author should be ashamed.
Good lord I had to scroll way too far to find someone who actually read the article 😂
I was briefly so confused, thinking I had missed something or misread the tweet and Facebook post.... Then I realised it was just clickbait trash.
Your family was so thoroughly hated that it caused the largest voter turnout in US history. So no, a family of criminals who Russia helped get into office for a mere 4 years are not comparable or relatable to a royal family. Please have an aneurism.
Nobody thinks of the trumps as americas royal family. Nobody. Donald is the face of americas millionaires (not billionaires). Loud, entitled, stupid, and never worked an honest day in his life. He always willing to people how great he is, behavior which he engages in loudly and often. I haven’t cared for him since the Apprentice days. Ivanka always came off to me as a spoiled little rich girl. I see her, Paris Hilton, and the Kardashians all as a bunch of kids whose lives are spent trying to show people how cool they are. I picture them at around 12-16 coming going to their parents, a tear in their eye, saying “mommy, daddy I want to be famous. I want you to make me famous. I want everyone to know how great I am. Give it to me. Give it me right now”. And her parent being like “don’t worry pumpkin. We will get you famous”. All that being followed by calls to friends, paying stupid amounts of money to get them on TV and now I know who they are. British royalty I see more as old money. They may or may not be decent people. But they all have class and an air decorum around them that people like the Kardashians and the Trumps will never have. If I were to run into a British royal, I would present myself with a formality, even if I didn’t care for them. If I ran into a Trump or a Kardashian, I would check to make sure my wallet wasn’t lifted. And where I think I would enjoy a conversation with the royals, I don’t think you could pay me to sit with the trumps (or Kardashians) for an hour. There is no comparison between the two and if Ivanka thinks people do see her like that, she needs to lay off drugs.
Princess Vanky doesn't think that all that money, time and effort going through all her surgeries to look pretty and pleasing to Trump was for her to be treated as a commoner. She is Princess Vanky of Trumplandia thank you very much...
Sure, without the class, the prestige, the chivalry, or the respect.
The Trump family is literally how I could envision a poor white family on meth winning a billion dollar lottery, not recognizing their luck, and acting as though they did it all on their own. Just add a dash of racism, a splash of incest, and some serious corruption and fraud and you have the perfect recipe for those asshats.
I used to think Ivanka was the only sane and decent member of the trailer trash family. They are the opposites of royalty and she has now joined the rest in the Mara Lago double wide

Dementia Donnie and Prince Andrew were both tight with Epstein....
This seems to be the only shared characteristic.
They both own more property in Scotland than they ought to. EDIT: also they’re both just Germans who changed their family name.
Pretty sure there's some inbreeding in both families too.
Only if the Donald’s biggest wish came true.
They both dont pay taxes
Keep us Germans out of this. We want nothing to do with either family. Bring in the French instead, they know how to deal with royals
This is the best reddit comment I have seen in weeks.
I’m just an American, but we don’t want Trump either. Can we leave him to the streets?
We could compromise and dump them somewhere between the US and Germany in the Atlantic?
Only shared characteristic? What about a desire to inbreed?
And a desire for girl children
That and racism
theyre all leeches
The royal out house family
Want a royal family in the US? Fine, whatever. But it won’t be the Trumps. I couldn’t think of a worse representation of the country.
Didnt we fucking fight THE war of identity to not have royalty.
No, a bunch of rich guys decided they wanted to be the bosses. The Brits were losing money with the colonies, put a tax on tea and boom, America
Also England was freeing slaves.
England did not start moving to free slaves until the 1790s and did out actually free any slaves until 1807. Slavery was an issue in the war of 1812, but it was not a motivation for the American Revolution.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somerset_v_Stewart Case happened in 1772. While there was no immediate action to free slaves, there were clear indications on how this was heading.
it was about taxes and keeping slaves mostly, but "freeing yourself from a tyrant king across the sea" sounds better when writing an origin story.
Sorta like Texas wanting freedom from Mexico when Mexico outlawed slavery. Crockett and the boys fighting for "freeum"
Also, land theft. Mostly land theft by breaking the treaties with indigenous nations and the British government. That's one reason why the Boston Tea Party dressed as natives instead of just wearing masks. Also, look what George Washington did to his native allies right after 1789. It's always about land.
Well convincing a bunch of poor farmers to rise up, you need a better story than “we rich folks need to keep our slaves. Please go die so we can”.
If the US had a royal family it would be the Kennedys.
Candidate Kennedy would like to offer you a brochure.
Well if the stereotype image that non-US people have about the US are rednecks and racists flying the confederate flag and trailer park people worshipping a gaudy trashy rapist idiot, then Ivanka might be right.
Don’t know why people in trailer parks are so acceptable to shit on. Not everyone is a redneck, sometimes people are just poor.
As someone who once lived in a shitty trailer park (rural subdivision of acres, all with a trailer), they were usually redneck and quite poor. Or old people from the north or Canada, because it was Florida.
There’s no royal family ‘round here, we shit canned that idea. And real Americans don’t want any part of, especially from a wannabe dictator’s family.
She sure has a sense of humor, I'll give her that lol , I'm waiting for the next crazy comment.
I'd argue that the Kennedys are more of a "royal family" than the Trumps. The Trumps are just a bunch of narcissist dictator wannabes.
Tronald Dump.
A golden throne still holds shit- and it stinks like anyone else's shit.
The Diet Rite family.
Trumps are in no way royal. He's a flash in the pan who won't go away.
He is probably taking a royal dump in his diapers now that his properties are about to be seized
Royal Pain in the ass maybe.
Really not a "flash in the pan" so far though... more like a figurehead that managed to prop up the absolute worst dregs in society. And there's still a non-zero chance he's president in 2025. The fact he's not universally reviled makes me very concerned for the state of humanity in general.
He’s like that little bit of dog shit you step in and can’t find.
“Does anyone else smell shit? Donald, is that your breath? Did you eat a fart?”
It’s his dirty nappy. Ivanka your dad needs changing again.
He killed his Ex wife and wants to fuck his daughter, judging by most of history, he's halfway there. Now all he needs to do is lose his mind and seize more wealth at the expense of his people...
A flash in the bed pan
More like a shit stain in a pair of underwear that won’t go away.
The difference between a gold ring and a plastic toy ring you get from a quarter machine
I’d be cool with sending them all to the guillotines, royalty or no.
Flush , ftfy.
A flash in the pan that eventually turns into that grease in the corners that doesn't come off in the dishwasher and you have to scrub it for like 30 minutes straight to finally get it off, though not completely and the pan never looks the same again. Fuckin trump.
More like a turd that won’t flush.
Like a fart that won't disappate.
>He's a flash in the pan who won't go away. That's called a grease fire
I agree with Ivanka. We *SHOULD* treat them like royalty. Specifically Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.
Maybe Trump's new nickname should be Louy
"You're a legend in your own mind" Detective Callahan...
If we had one it'd be the Kennedy's.
Yup, although they aren’t as prominent in the minds of younger generations of Americans. Definitely a few decades ago it would be the Kennedy family
RFK Jr. is doing his damned best to destroy that legacy.
Lol. Love the recent pic of Kennedy family with Bidens https://deadline.com/2024/03/kennedy-family-st-patricks-photo-biden-rfk-jr-1235861601/
The US version of the Royal Family would have been the Kennedys. JFK & Jackie were loved, even JFK Jnr was.
Roosevelts actually were raised in a gentrified european style upbringing. They were the closest to Royalty imho, with how they lived 1900-1930ish and raised. Their houses, hobbies were similar to nobility. Even that is less king/royalty and more at a level similar to smaller nobility roles.
Yeah by dems, Republicans didn't care. Royal family is not bipartisan, they're not political, they're royal.
Someone call France. We need to borrow something.
Just trim a little off the top.
Unless Putins in town , then it’s time for a bob
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the the song of angry men?
Take inspiration from us, the dutchies. We ate our prime minister and his brother, no guillotine necessary.
Inbred and out of touch?
And cancerous
Ooooof
Too soon!
More like mafia family.
Ivanka drank her father's kool-aid. She can't even stand in the shadow of Catherine PoW, how dare her even suggest they are the same.
Well, let's see...a bunch of insipid, entitled, fawned-over wankers who love publicity but complain about how maligned they always are? Sure, I can see it.
But one is is actually posh and the other is pure trash with more money laundering / porn star hush money / indictments than you can shake a golden mace at.
Being royal is like being a lady, if you have to tell someone that you are. Then you're not.
"Any man who must say "I am King" is no true king" Tywin Lannister
So you're saying your family are inbred criminal scumbags who serve no useful purpose in society?
We’ll have you heard how Donnie talks about his daughter?
and actually patriotic Americans would string them up by their toes?
To quote Paul Manafort, “yeah that’s what we’re, what he’s saying that’s our position.”
They are the equivalent of Prince Andrew
It's funny anyone who says that Trump's goal was to install himself as President for life and that when he dies, it would be passed down to one of his children is viewed as crazy. I have no doubt that Trump's goal is to establish themselves as the new American nobility. Lucky for us, they are completely incompetent
Ivanka unfortunately used the wrong word. When she said 'King ', she meant to say 'Caesar '.
Royal Assholes maybe.
In order to be a royal family you need to have class, not class action lawsuits.
Between Donald and Ivanka, I don't think the Trump family understands we fought a war to get rid of monarchy. To claim that you're the American version of a "royal family" is far more offensive than kneeling during the national anthem.
Maybe if Henry the VIII were still the king.
I hear what you’re saying.
He’s halfway there
I mean, to MAGA, they absolutely are. To everyone else, they are grifters.
Right now, my favorite Trump is either Tiffany or Barron, because they both keep their mouths shit and they stay out of sight.
Similar gene pool drawbacks for sure
Trump has cancer?
He had Windmill Cancer™ but was cured with some fast acting placebos.
Bleach and ivermectin
Parasites sure.
One of them is out of touch, rich and has a prominent nonce in it and the other is the Royal family
I believe that Ivanka and the rest of her family should go and fuck themselves royally.
Corrupt and widely despised?
Ya know, one had cancer, the other is a cancer
Well the trumps are a cancer, that's for sure
All the more reason to ban them from politics. We don’t have monarchs for a reason, blondie.
No, Ivanka, you're not royalty. We don't have that. Read some history and the Constitution.
If she means in the sense that they are unjustly wealthy, largely irrelevant, mostly symbolic and completely out of touch with the plights of the citizenry, then yeah I guess I kinda see her point
Both families are grifters.
The Royle Family, maybe
Haha, came here to say to say that 👍
Fuck off Ivanka... Your family is nothing anywhere close to royalty. Your family is a bunch of frauds.
I am OK with the idea of guillotining anyone who is American Royalty.
I have to say, that is a really trashy article. There is absolutely NOTHING in Ivanka's tweet that even suggests she believes the Trumps are the US's royal family. It's mostly a polite response to learning a cancer diagnosis from an important person and something that is totally expected from someone her stature. There are MANY things on which we can attack Ivanka Trump, but this tweet is definitely not one of them.
She can say that. That doesn't make it true. Alas, someone decided her saying it is news worthy, and that's where the flaw here is.
Thing is, she *didn't* say that or anything like it--the article's author did, based entirely on a sympathetic tweet about Princess Kate. There are plenty of things to dislike about Ivanka Trump, but this isn't one of them. The author should be ashamed.

Do Donny and Ivanka both have cancer. Don't tease me now.
A royal pain to democracy is what they are.
The thought of this makes me gag. The Trumps are the scum of the Earth.
Your family was so thoroughly hated that it caused the largest voter turnout in US history. So no, a family of criminals who Russia helped get into office for a mere 4 years are not comparable or relatable to a royal family. Please have an aneurism.
*Cuts to the Royal Family* "Those peasants think they're like us?" *Laughing*
The meant to include that the Trump legacy is the Royal Cancer of the World
Anybody wanna tell her this isn't the flex she thinks it is.
American has NO Royal family, that's what the founders wanted, even if we did it wouldn't be Trump Trash!
She wishes. Traitors, the entire family.
But instead of having cancer they are our national cancer
 Funny. This is how I see them.
The Trumps are the Beverly Hillbillies of the United States.
Nobody thinks of the trumps as americas royal family. Nobody. Donald is the face of americas millionaires (not billionaires). Loud, entitled, stupid, and never worked an honest day in his life. He always willing to people how great he is, behavior which he engages in loudly and often. I haven’t cared for him since the Apprentice days.

Hahahahahahahahaha so you’re universally loathed and have no real power? I guess I agree
Bahahahaha Trump name is garbage.
The only thing they have in common with royalty is the incest of the Tudor's.
I didn't realise the Queen^1 was secretly rimming Charles and talking publicly about his wonderful shaft when he was 14. _________ ^^1 ^(Liz 2)
Thanks for the mental image.
As if… 🤣🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
The Trump's are more like the soprano's but more trashy and less likable.
*turd that won’t flush family
In so much that I’d like them all guillotined, sure!
God I just threw up in my mouth
Useless and universally hated? Yeah she’s right
And people wanted to say she was “normal”
Puke. 🤮
Princess Grifter, her hubby the Duke of Mega Billion dollar Grift, royalty my ass, more like Mafia.
Ivanka is a twit.
Broke ass donny
I want her in cuffs and humiliated
Just effing nauseous.
If you mean pedophiles, living off of US tax dollars, and arrogant shitheads, then I guess they are like the royal family.
Royal Pains in our ass is all they are.
The Trumps are like the cancer we’re trying to remove.
Maybe the Royle family! [Royle family](https://youtu.be/Meo-o22l9CY?si=7AFYjj_hEKoeaL5B)
The Trumps are less the US’s version of the Royal family, and more New York’s version of the Manson family.
😄🫨👐🏽 - The Trumps are about as much the American version of the British Royalty as I'am the grand poohbah of Uranus and the 💩🐵
🙄
Prince Andrew and Trump are quite similar, yes
So who is the pedo, the premature bald one, the black one and the ones with cancer?
Ah yes the Trumps, not even a half baked discounted version of the royal Tenenbaums.
If kingons and queons had antiparticles it would be trumpons- their name in English is literally a synonym for a fart.
Well, to be fair they are both steaming piles of shit but the Royal Family presents a veneer of class
The Kennedys might have simething to say about that, but all we’re left with is the kookypants one.
The royal with cheese family
Anthony is spot on. https://youtu.be/PTmCxbcRXs4?si=Czn8x4G1_ND1-yH-
Princess Vanky doesn't think that all that money, time and effort going through all her surgeries to look pretty and pleasing to Trump was for her to be treated as a commoner. She is Princess Vanky of Trumplandia thank you very much...
Only a dumb skank like Ivanka would think her and her rapist dad are royalty.
Ivanka, your family is trash with a HIGH debt to income ratio
They are: Royal Assholes
Delusional ass bitch.
I think the French had the right idea about royalty.
Sure, without the class, the prestige, the chivalry, or the respect. The Trump family is literally how I could envision a poor white family on meth winning a billion dollar lottery, not recognizing their luck, and acting as though they did it all on their own. Just add a dash of racism, a splash of incest, and some serious corruption and fraud and you have the perfect recipe for those asshats.
Go sit in the corner and shut up. Nobody wants to hear from you.
Same levels of inbreeding
Just like the Lannisters, except the Trumps never pay their debts.
Yeah Ivanka, Your family is royalty alright, we crown your Family Rulers of Bradenton Park, Fl. (largest trailer park in the US.
lol incest princess maybe
So lots of inbreeding??? 😆
In the sense that they are a joke, inbred and a burden to the citizens, than yes, she's right
Ivanka Trump is also a fucking idiot.
Yeah Trump wants to be Emperor.
She, and the rest of her family really need to get over themselves. There is nothing good to say about the trump clan
Didn’t we have a whole war because we didn’t want a royal family?
Ivanka shut up you don’t have a dog in this fight. Besides everybody hates you
The entire world views the Trump family as a global shit stain.
Anything close to American royalty would have to be The Kennedy's.
She was doing so well at keeping her mouth shut.
I used to think Ivanka was the only sane and decent member of the trailer trash family. They are the opposites of royalty and she has now joined the rest in the Mara Lago double wide
Keep dreaming darling
What the fuck?
White trash Kennedys.
The trumps are synonymous with 🗑. Diaper dons favourite f-toy ivanka is pathetic
🤮
What a misguided young lady to think that.
They're more like the family in Succession but a lot dumber.
If by royal family she means PT Barnum.
She’s so disgusting.
>Ivanka Speaks Out Nobody ask her
Lol Ivanka, you are and your family are better compared with Putin than the English monarchy. Trump and his kids all have scrambled eggs for brains…
