Trump sends his prayers to King Charles for a ‘fast and full recovery’ from cancer: Ex-President calls monarch a ‘wonderful man’ who he got to know ‘very well’ during his presidency
Former President Donald Trump issued an all-caps message praising King Charles after his shock cancer diagnosis, sending prayers for a speedy recovery to someone he ‘got to know well.’
Trump’s was just one of the many acknowledgements that came in following the news that the King, 75, has begun treatment for an unidentified former of cancer, with President Biden saying he plans to call the King soon.
King Charles, whose whose coronation was in May, was receiving treatment for an enlarged prostate when physicians identified an issue of concern that turned out to be cancer, according to Buckingham Palace
‘KING CHARLES HAS CANCER. HE IS A WONDERFUL MAN, WHO I GOT TO KNOW WELL DURING MY PRESIDENCY, AND WE ALL PRAY THAT HE HAS A FAST AND FULL RECOVERY!’ Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

It came on a day when Trump gave a podcast interview, railed against ‘Crooked Joe Biden’ for not doing a Super Bowl interview, crowed about paying off loans for his commercial properties, and said the civil business fraud case against him in New York should be dismissed.
Trump while in office had occasion to interact with Charles multiple times before he ascended to the throne. During one encounter, Tea at Clarence House, Trump kept Charles waiting for an hour.
Four biographies identified Trump as the source of reported rumors that members of the Royal Family were planning to purchase units in Trump properties.
Trump in his 1987 book Art of the Deal admitted benefiting from the reports that were denied by the Palace at the time. ‘It certainly didn’t hurt us, but I had to laugh to myself,’ he wrote.
Trump’s well wishes came on a day President Joe Biden said he plans to speak to King Charles III after Buckingham Palace revealed he has been diagnosed with cancer.
