Donald Trump just 'flexing his muscles' by issuing 'empty threat' to Prince Harry

A royal expert has claimed Donald Trump has no intention of taking action against Prince Harry should he become president, despite hinting he could deport him.

In a recent interview with Nigel Farage on GB News, Trump vowed to take "appropriate action" against Prince Harry if it is revealed that he lied about taking drugs on his US visa application.

He said: "We'll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they'll have to take appropriate action."

Farage followed up by asking if "approporiate action" could mean "not staying in America", to which Trump said: "Oh I don't know. You'll have to tell me. You would have thought they would have known this a long time ago."

However, royal expert Pauline MacLaren claims this is merely an "empty threat" by the former president, who is "flexing his muscles" in issuing the cryptic response.

She told the Daily Express US: "My view is this is just Trump flexing his muscles and I think if he becomes president, he will have bigger things to concentrate on than Harry and his visa. So I think this is a fairly empty threat and I doubt if Harry is too worried at present.

"This appears to be a busy time for both Meghan and Harry with the launch of their new website and the need to have plenty of future content for this. I therefore don’t think Harry will have time to worry too much about Trump’s threats - for the moment anyway."

Prince Harry openly admitted to taking cocaine, cannabis, and magic mushrooms in his memoir Spare, which has landed him in hot water as drug use is typically a reason to reject a visa application.

US-based think tank The Heritage Foundation has since spearheaded a campaign to have his immigration documents made public, so it can be revealed whether he lied about taking drugs on his application.

DON'T MISS:

The Department of Homeland Security is currently scrambling to collect all of Prince Harry's documents and has requested extra time to do so before the judge hands down the ruling.

Trump has maintained his stance on the issue, reiterating in the interview that he will give the Duke of Sussex no "special privileges" should he become president again in November.

Prince Harry is currently awaiting the judge's ruling on making his immigration documents public, which could present new challenges to him living in America with Meghan Markle permanently.
