Donald Trump claimed this week the late Princess Diana was among dozens of high-profile public figures who at some point “kissed my ass.”
Diana’s brother, Earl Charles Spencer, however, fired back at Trump’s boast via his Twitter account , writing Wednesday:
“Surprised to hear that Donald Trump is apparently claiming that my late sister Diana wanted to ‘kiss his arse,’ since the one time she mentioned him to me — when he was using her good name to sell some real estate in New York — she clearly viewed him as worse than an anal fissure.”
Trump’s boast came while promoting his new book, “Letters To Trump.” The $99 tome reprints private letters sent to Trump by world leaders, celebrities and royals over the last 40 years.
Correspondence from the late Queen Elizabeth II , Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un also appear, per promotional materials. The book is scheduled for release in April.
“I knew them all — and every one of them kissed my ass, and now I only have half of them kissing my ass,” Trump bragged to far-right Breitbart News about the people whose letters are featured in the book.
Spencer’s disdain of Trump should perhaps not come as a surprise. Just months after Diana’s death in 1997, Trump crassly insisted he’d have been able to have sex with her, but on the condition she’d take an HIV test first .
