Donald Trump Is Terribly Sad About Disgraced Prince Andrew's Exile (11/4/25)

When asked about Prince Andrew’s exile from royal life and the Epstein scandal that forced King Charles to strip his brother of his military titles and patronages, Donald Trump struck a tone of sympathy — not for the victims, but for the Windsors. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump said, “I feel very badly. It’s a terrible thing that’s happened to the family. That’s been a tragic situation. It’s too bad. I mean, I feel badly for the family.” In classic Trump fashion, the comments came off as tone-deaf, framing the ordeal as a misfortune that befell the royals rather than a reckoning for Andrew’s own actions or associations. He offered no mention of Virginia Giuffre, the survivors, or the broader scandal surrounding Epstein’s network — only sorrow for the House of Windsor’s discomfort.


The remarks were quickly criticized as another example of Trump’s tendency to sympathize with power over accountability. Rather than condemning Andrew’s behavior or the pattern of privilege that shielded him for years, Trump painted the royals as victims of circumstance — as if Andrew had simply stumbled into bad luck rather than disgrace of his own making. His comments echoed the same populist-elite paradox that defines his persona: railing against “the establishment” while showing deference to its crowned members when they fall. For many observers, the takeaway was clear — once again, Trump’s empathy seemed to extend only upward, toward the powerful, not toward the people whose lives were destroyed by Epstein and the system that protected him.
