British Embassy Leak Makes Trump Furious

President Trump has been firing back at the British government over a leaked cable, describing him in an unfavorable light. Fox News reports:

Outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday issued a statement of support to Britain’s ambassador to the U.S. after President Trump cut off contact with him amid the leak of diplomatic cables.

May backed ambassador Kim Darroch amid the controversy over leaked diplomatic cables in which he disparaged Trump, including calling him “inept.”

Downing Street said Darroch “continues to have the prime minister’s full support,” adding that “We have made clear to the U.S. how unfortunate this leak is” and that “the selective extracts leaked do not reflect the closeness of, and the esteem in which we hold, the relationship.”

“At the same time we have also underlined the importance of ambassadors being able to provide honest, unvarnished assessments of the politics in their country,” the spokesman added.

The British government has been in total disarray since the Brexit vote in 2016, with the Conservative majority failing to deliver an exit from the EU and political infighting inside all major parties.

I think he should be recalled or if not then “sent home”.

Interesting how Britain only recognizes the United States when they want us to protect them, fight wars for them and support them. For centuries they have had a condescending we are better than you attitude toward the United States and the American people. It is outrages that the prime minister supported the ambassador who attacked, disrespected and attempted to demean President Trump. The only one that this investor and now the prime minister has embarrassed and disgraced are themselves.

You need some real information on the English people. Up until Trump nearly all of Europe, honored and respected the USA, even envied the American people. I spent a lot of time in England and my extended family lives there along with my two daughters who went there right out of College over 20 years ago, because they got a better offer than they had here and have done a lot better than their college friends who stayed here.
What this Ambassador said is what you hear in almost all of Europe, and inn other Countries, they point out how Trump has no education on politics as far as international Government goes, when Trump broke agreements that another President had made with other Countries that sent a message to everyone that he could not be trusted, and who wants to deal with someone who can not be trusted to live up to an agreement.

Clinton had sighed stupid agreements, which costs us thousands jobs and billions of revenue. Decades You ‘d listening politically correct BS, coming out from politicians mouths, and believed in that. Now, when our President, who is a businessman and tells us real things, You and other with You don’t get it. It’s Your problem.

Guess you liked it when Obama gave the Iranians nuclear capabilities AND BILLIONS of dollars, when we have homeless, the elderly and veterans who could use that money. If you think England is so “cool” then go live there.
The reason everyone is not afraid of Trump is BECAUSE he is NOT a politician, which is why the left DEMS don’t like him; they can’t control him. He gets the job done. Now he’s got other nations paying their share of the UN and NATO. All the previous presidents bowed down to the other countries. Sorry, I don’t agree with you in your assessment; your biased because your girls live in England.

I’m glad Pres. Trump had no education in politics or else he would not be as successful as he is today. “That’s not how it is done” are the words of losers and/or those who don’t care and are phoning it in. He was right to break the agreement Obama made because it was a disaster. Our great president uses common sense and truly tries to fix such disasters. He’s quite good at it.

Let me see — which agency can we send to investigate the leaks coming from England — who f****** knows — we don’t have an agency that is not corrupt. My suggestion — oh never mind — no bleeding heart in this country would like it.

I doubt it very much. Darroch is nothing more than a pimple on the world’s butt and May has proven her ineptness more than once. Darroch’s childish opinions means only one thing…..he’s ignorant.

Obviously it is ambassador Kim Darroch who is “inept.” But of course this is a trait he shares with all the Theresa May government. Britain will be much better off when they have a new Prime Minister and a new Cabinet. And a new Ambassador to the US! Britain has bungled Brexit to the max!

Theresa May needs a ‘hard Review’ of herself &&

Teresa May’s administration is CONFUSED! She’s forgetting that Americans saved their BACON in TWO World Wars — a feat they would be WISE to recall. Instead, they make “comments” about their little neighbors across the pond. They STILL see us as “undeserving”, much the same as Australia, another “penal colony” that has emerged Better and Stronger than England! I personally don’t CARE if they become totally Musilm — the “hierarchy, that is. But there ARE many good people there, despite the fact that FEW serve in May’s administration. In short: May has NO ROOM to allow one of her officials, let alone the Ambassador — to even WHISPER disparaging comments about OUR President. And is’t biting her now, but MORE is to come! God Bless President Trump! God Bless America! K.A.G!

Brits have shot themselves in the foot allowing Brit-hating immigrants to control things with the political correctness that allows them to rape and maim Brits with impunity. All of England is truly lost.
