Trump said that he and the Queen had "good chemistry" and "got along fantastically" when he met her during his trip to the United Kingdom in July.

As reported by the Telegraph, video footage suggested that Trump was late for the meeting as the Queen was captured checking her watch and discussing with her aides.

Trump clarified the speculations and gave his perspective on the story; in which he was 15 minutes early to the meeting and was waiting to meet her.

The 72-year-old said that his meeting with the Queen was a beautiful visit and afternoon. He pointed out at the media and said that they could make anything look bad because they were the "fake news."

Trump used the rally, which was meant to promote Senate candidate Lou Barletta, to point out other instances where he felt that the media was not up to the mark while covering his European trip.

He said that the media's criticism about his joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his attendance at a NATO gathering in Brussels did not give the complete picture to the public.

His speech at the rally was another instance where President Trump called out the media in front of his fervent supporters.
