Trump Reportedly 'Berated' Theresa May in Phone Call on Air Force One

Source: Mediaite

A new report on President Donald Trump‘s weekend abroad takes a look at how the POTUS has been in a bit of a sour mood for the past few days.

Most notably, per the Washington Post, he ended up boiling over when called by Prime Minister Theresa May:

As he jetted to Paris last Friday, President Trump received a congratulatory phone call aboard Air Force One. British Prime Minister Theresa May was calling to celebrate the Republican Party’s wins in the midterm elections — never mind that Democrats seized control of the House — but her appeal to the American president’s vanity was met with an ornery outburst.

Trump berated May for Great Britain not doing enough in his assessment to contain Iran. He questioned her over Brexit and complained about the trade deals he sees as unfair with European countries. May has endured Trump’s churlish temper before, but still her aides were shaken by his especially foul mood, according to U.S. and European officials briefed on the conversation.

He's talking with the leader of another sovereign nation and a very important ally.

Not only that, she knows a hell of a lot more about what's going on in the world than he does.

don't construe this as me supporting drumpf but... she kind of deserved it after doing something that stupid.

on the other hand, kissing drumpf's ass usually gets you your way with him. stroke his ego and he'll betray his country for you. reference Putin and Kim

Preferably in a manner embarrassing to his flock. It's not nearly as much fun when he does it and only a few hear it.

Thanks Theresa May for adding to trump's fury over being such a LOSER in the Midterms. Lol at your calling to congratulate on his meager "wins".. that's so supportive of the psychopathic, gaslighting sociopath in the US wh.

And for her to allow herself to be berated by someone who knows less than she does shows how miserable she is at statecraft.
