I agree with Princess Mabel. Donald Trump will never be in the same league as Barack Obama when it comes to class and dignity. As president, he showed respect for all people (including women & the handicapped) & dedicated his time to helping to improve the American economy, foreign relations health care. He never went on twitter and make venomous attacks against people who disagreed with him. President Obama accepted people's different opinions and never attacked them.

It is quite rare for members of European royal families to get involved in politics, especially the politics of countries apart from their own. However, Princess Mabel of Orange-Nassau was among those to take to Twitter to express her opinions following the inauguration of President Trump on Friday.

On 7 January, a few weeks before the inauguration, the Dutch Princess retweeted two tweets that praised the then-President Obama for his leadership over the last eight years, commending him for the fact that he had managed to avoid a scandal during his terms and would "leave office with 75 straight months of employment growth".

Another retweet condemned Trump for attacking allies in transatlantic relations and urged Europe to prove the new President wrong.
