This... IMO is an understatement on trump!

<Britain's Ambassador to Washington has described Donald Trump as 'inept', 'insecure' and 'incompetent'+ :screwy in a series of explosive memos to Downing Street.Sir Kim Darroch, one of Britain's top diplomats, used secret cables and briefing notes to impugn Trump's character, warning London that the White House was 'uniquely dysfunctional' and that the President's career could end in 'disgrace'.>
<His bombshell comments risk angering the notoriously thin-skinned President and undermining the UK's 'special relationship' with America.>


<In the memos, seen by The Mail on Sunday following an unprecedented leak, Sir Kim:>


  • Describes bitter conflicts within Trump's White House – verified by his own sources – as 'knife fights';
  • Warns that Trump could have been indebted to 'dodgy Russians';
  • Claims the President's economic policies could wreck the world trade system;
  • Says the scandal-hit Presidency could 'crash and burn' and that 'we could be at the beginning of a downward spiral... that leads to disgrace and downfall';
  • Voices fears that Trump could still attack Iran.
<In one of the most sensitive documents, Sir Kim writes: '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.'>

<He also says that he doesn't think Trump's White House will 'ever look competent'.>

<In reference to Trump's ability to shrug off controversies in a life which has been 'mired in scandal', he says that the President may nonetheless 'emerge from the flames, battered but intact, like [Arnold] Schwarzenegger in the final scenes of The Terminator'.>

In before "fake news".
 
Any competent and honest individual knows we have an inept White House. Barely news at this point.

And yet, we will indeed have cries of "but TDS!!", and "didn't happen!"...which is absurd as usual.

Once again, the truth comes out in a leak.

Wow, who was involved in the knife fights? Anyone of them die? I would think it would be hard to cover up multiple trips on many occasions of White House staff rushed to the ER with knife wounds - or that it could be covered up for so long.
 
In before "fake news".

Who would you guess was involved the the knife fights? That is such extreme events that I find it hard to believe it could have been covered up for so long.
 
I also am surprised White House staff members would be having knife fights with the British ambassador present.

Was the British ambassador himself in any of the knife fights? What kind of knives? Why no names and dates if he was telling the truth?

Personally, if the British ambassador was seeing "knife fights" in the White House he must have been on LDS.
 
The ineptitude is the point. That's why he was elected. That and anti-"them" sentiment, of course.
 
Who cares what some whiny Limey thinks?

Do you care what the ambassador from our "closest ally" thinks? Trump appears to be almost universally mocked and despised abroad.. With good reason. Even his best bud, Rocket Boy Kim thinks he's a loser.
 
He is correct about Trump being inept, insecure and incompetent.
 
US/UK relations will be a sticky wicket, wot, for the foreseeable future.

It could be - but as of today the American flag is still displayed in the British airport in Detroit.

The British government cares. That's why they have an ambassador to the US, to get his take on the US government.
Who cares what some random doofus on the internet thinks?

Can't say he's wrong.

It's refreshing to hear someone disengaged from American politics tell it like it is regarding Trump.

You’re brighter than this, aren’t you?

Its not, like...literal knife fights, man.

Sure. But why should I care what he thinks? It's not like he will affect me or my country.

Nobody said you should. No-one here cares about every topic raised. But you seem to think that what doesn't matter to you just doesn't matter.
Or it's just you doing your usual 'shrug' when you have nothing to say but feel like the rest of us need to know that you have nothing to say.
 
Actually this story perfectly highlights Trump supporters inability to accept almost anything negative about the man.

What this person said is entirely consistent with tons of news articles and books that have been written about Trumps White House and the thing is, any of the stories that involved anonymous sources were dismissed because they were anonymous sources.

But even when they’re not anonymous, they’re dismissed as fast, if not faster.

Anyone who speaks against Trump is immediately not credible to his zealots, these people have absolutely zero credibility and anything they have to say in the matter is entirely irrelevant.
