I guess this is what's supposed to pass for humor over at Fox not "news."

Part-time host and frequent contributor Raymond Arroyo took issue with Queen Maxima of the Netherlands possibly mocking Trump during his trip to The Hague on Wednesday during an appearance on this Friday's The Ingraham Angle.

Here's more from Newsweek on what had Arroyo's panties in a knot:

President Donald Trump appeared to be subtly mocked by Dutch royalty during a NATO summit in The Hague on Wednesday.

Trump was photographed alongside Queen Máxima and King Willem-Alexander at the Huis ten Bosch Palace shortly after arriving at the summit. Standing between the two royals, Trump flashed a thumbs-up and told photographers: "That's the picture we want!"

The King followed with a polite, "I hope you slept well," to which Trump replied, "It was great," smiling and thanking those present.

However, as the moment wrapped up, Queen Máxima appeared to mimic Trump's mouth movements before turning back to face the cameras. [...]

The gesture, caught on video, has since fueled speculation online that the queen was mocking the president.

One user on X called the moment "hilarious," saying the Queen should "treat him like a baby." CNN News 18 editor Vani Mehrotra noted that Queen Máxima was "believed to be mocking" Trump.

As they explained, "Neither the Dutch Royal Family nor the White House have commented on the exchange," but that didn't stop this idiot from telling the Fox audience that she ought to have a bomb dropped on her head:

On Friday night’s edition of Fox News Channel’s The Ingraham Angle, Arroyo told guest host Charlie Hurt that the queen was “clearly mocking” Trump, and that she’d better “be careful”:

RAYMOND ARROYO: I wish royalty would behave like it when they meet heads of state. At the NATO conference this week, a lot of people didn’t see this. President Trump met with the Dutch royals. Watch Queen Maxima here. That’s her name, Queen Maxima.

(VIDEO CLIP).

Okay, Charlie, is she mocking him or not?

CHARLIE HURT: It kind of looks like it. I mean, I’m not but I’m not an expert on royal behavior. So

RAYMOND ARROYO: She’s clearly making fun of his mouth. She went, you know, doing the Trump lip thing.

And by the way, the White House, nor the the Netherland Royals will comment on this.

But she better be careful. You know, she could get a personalized bunker buster from Daddy Trump if she’s not really careful.

I mean, she’s gonna go from Queen Maxima to Queen Minima if she is not standing on protocol in the future. This is a bad look for a royal or anybody really.

CHARLIE HURT: Yeah, for anybody.
