Trump now attacking UK Government

......Trump will be gone soon.Perhaps the next US president won't be so thin skinned.

What would you have him do? Lie through his teeth about how competent the government is? If he's inept then he's inept.No need to sugarcoat it.These comments were not meant for trumps ears but our governments ears.Its useful for governments to know how competent other governments are.

As for relationships.......Trump will be gone soon.Perhaps the next US president won't be so thin skinned.

Tell the truth. Or at least explain what exactly he is referring to as inept. The fact is the US is doing great in ways they weren't doing before and to not even acknowledge this signifies pure bias. This isn't the job for an activist.

If you honestly think trump won't win next year, you're in for a disappointing shock.

Calling him inept constitutes a subjective opinion, not a detailed assessment.

If you think his comments foster a good relationship with the US then that's your opinion.

Its hard to say he should never have said them because you can bet the US says exactly the same when reporting to Washington

The ambassador didnt do anything wrong, but now May has spoken up for him, which means they have 100% messed up in their assessment of the situation.

Trump is a child with a monstrous ego, but also the most powerful man in the world. Any sleight is about him and will be taken personally, he doesnt let anything brush over. He works himself up into a tantrum. His ego comes before international relations.

May should not have backed him in the way she did, but should have figured out a way of reassuring the US.
Now May leaves US/ UK relations in a shambles which is unforgivable.

We now have Trump directly attacking the UK, which is crazy unpresidential behaviour to do to your greatest ally.
He is a liability, child, unstatesmanlike president and he should pack it in. He can do it behind closed doors. It is all utterly ridiculous and there are more important matter of nations they should all be focusing on than some twitter war. Crazy behaviour and they both need to grow up, but especially Trump.

He was right to say them, in private, because that's his honest, professional assessment. What others say is utterly irrelevant.


You think that he should have been thrown under a bus? A decent manager must stand-up for their employees when they are in the right. Sir Kim is.


He is an immature, egotistical bully. May said exactly the right thing. She knew that Sir Kim's position had been made untennable by Trump's statements, and that Sir Kim would feel duty-bound to resign. Trump needs to be told, clearly, that his actions are not acceptable.


No. She has said what any decent person would. I would have been extremely disappointed if she had done anything else.


Trump needs to be fired. He's entirely unfit to be POTUS, and a poor excuse for a human being.

Are they though? If you want an example of how the trump government is inept just look at his handling of Iran.He unilaterally ripped up his commitment to the nuclear deal and then acted surprised that Iran are no longer keeping to their side.A toddler could have seen that one coming.I think it's you who are biased not me.Trump is completely unfit to be president.

He gave his *professional* opinion, something that Trump could never claim.


He gave his professional opinion in private correspondence. He would not have made those comments publicly, for obvious reasons.

Trump's public comments on this amount to bullying. He simply cannot take criticism.

Yes they are. That is a documented fact whether you choose to acknowledge it or not. You're just throwing bias again. Many people including myself think the Iran deal was awful and was rightfully scrapped. Again, his place as an ambassador does not include activism which is what you appear to be engaging in.

Worthless drivel.

Worthless drivel.

Many people including myself think the Iran deal was awful and was rightfully scrapped.

I am rather more pragamatic about these things. Interests of the country come first and whilst what he said may have been entirely correct plus he is an egotistical bully, then we still have important matters of state to work with them over. He could have been reassigned.

You wont be firing trump any time soon and their is an egotistical baby bully in the WH, but not something we can change.

I see Boris is refusing to give a clear answer and dodging the question again.

May essentially had a free pass to say the right thing. Even being pragmatic, I think that she did the right thing.


I get to vote, which is as much as I can do. Impeachment is also a hope, although has disappointed by its absence.


Another unfit leader, IMO.

Oh no he won't. Trump will win next election in a landslide. He is s breath of fresh air in an otherwise toxic establishment hell bent on preserving itself at our expense.

Trump is upsetting the establishment and the establishment can not handle it.
