Trump Blasts Theresa May on Brexit, Tweets ‘We Will No Longer Deal With’ British Ambassador After Leaked Cables

By Josh Feldman Jul 8th, 2019, 2:47 pm

President Donald Trump continued trashing the UK ambassador who trashed him in leaked cables today, declaring the U.S. “will no longer deal with” him.

British Ambassador to the U.S. Kim Darroch said in these leaked cables, “We don’t really believe this Administration is going to become substantially more normal; less dysfunctional; less unpredictable; less faction riven; less diplomatically clumsy and inept.”

Trump this afternoon not only hit Darroch but went off on Theresa May for the Brexit “mess” and said, “The good news for the wonderful United Kingdom is that they will soon have a new Prime Minister.”

He also said, “I do not know the Ambassador, but he is not liked or well thought of within the U.S. We will no longer deal with him.”

Trump should have declared the colonies independence from the UK
and occupied the airports in the US with colonial troops.

Also, if the US ambassador hasn't been sending back reports about how dysfunctional May's government is, he's not doing his job.

The irony of Trump slagging off May in public for screwing up Brexit, and then saying "I'm not speaking to an ambassador who says I screw things up" would be mind-blowing, if Trump hadn't already proved he's the dumbest, most hypocritical piece of shit ever to visit the White House, let alone work there.

The ineptness of this President and Administration is indeed one for the record books.

It must be hell working for such a childish narcissist. I wonder why his staff (other than Kellyanne Conway, who probably couldn't find work at a 7-11, not to say anything disparaging about 7-11 employees) stays on? Do they think, "Survivor, Trump White House," is going to look good on their resume?

He doubled down on this idea on 4 June, nearly a year later.

In his original "advice", he also immediately pivoted to cautioning against walking away from negotiations.

Coming soon, Trump's advice to his pal Boris Johnson: Declare bankruptcy and rebrand the UK under new ownership.

The Ambassador was being complemary to him, he could have said a lot worse than that about him. trump's just causing more people overseas to investigate his corrupt activities more by doing this, and being vengeful now. trump's jealous because he knows so many people hate him , and call him names that are the truth. He will eventually turns on everyone, and will his supporters too, they just don't realize how corrupt he really is, yet.
