Secret cables to London from UK ambassador in Washington describe Trump as 'inept' and 'incompetent'

Leaked secret cables reveal messages from the United Kingdom's ambassador to the United States making disparaging comments about President Trump.

Sir Kim Darroch, one of the U.K.'s most senior diplomats, referred to the president with several unflattering adjectives, including "inept" and "incompetent," according to cable published by the Daily Mail. "For a man who has risen to the highest office on the planet, President Trump radiates insecurity," Darroch also said.

In other messages from the ambassador meant to be seen only by the British government, Darroch, 65, was deeply critical of Trump's administration and legacy. In one missive, Darroch said, "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."

This revelation will be considered an embarrassment to the UK and Sir Kim will be out of a job. 

Too bad. I suspect his take on Trump and his administration reflects those of most in Europe, particularly leaders, even though they won't or can't say so in public. 

Look for Trump to issue another of his childish, nasty tweets in response in 3...2...1...

He was being kind.

In this ambassador's defense, he pretty much hit the the nail on the head.  Probably not the smartest thing to share, even under the note heading of "Secret"

[Sighlass]

Character matters, and it sounds like this fellow got his job due to uncanny ability to judge and elaborate it truthfully.

Yep, and in the world of diplomacy, brutal honesty will get your fired.

These days, nothing is "Top Secret," "Privileged" and/or "Confidential."  Leaks abound.  Wonder who leaked these communications.  A political enemy, perhaps?

In Leaked Memos, British Ambassador To The U.S. Calls Trump ‘Inept, ‘Insecure,’ Says Administration Is ‘Dysfunctional’

.......


The British FCO issued the following statement about the leaked documents:

The British public would expect our Ambassadors to provide Ministers with an honest, unvarnished assessment of the politics in their country.

Their views are not necessarily the views of Ministers or indeed the government. But we pay them to be candid. Just as the US Ambassador here will send back his reading of Westminster politics and personalities.

Of course we would expect such advice to be handled by Ministers and civil servants in the right way and it’s important that our Ambassadors can offer their advice and for it remain confidential. Our team in Washington have strong relations with the White House and no doubt that these will withstand such mischievous behavior.

Could you please advise me as to why should I give one hoot in hell what some light in the loafers British ambassador thinks about anything or anyone @corbe?

[corbe]

  You should care @Bigun because if those limey bastards complete the Brexit process thus destroying the EU they'll come after us NEXT. 
  In other Words, I got nothing as to why you should care.

UK Steele helped prepare that dossier, the government under May and Cameron have got to be called somewhat centrist despite having the Tory label.

[Fishrrman]

Just mention of the name "Great Britain" conjures up thoughts of "incompetence" these days.

[Bill Cipher]

 

Leaking diplomatic cables is not a light matter, no matter the country.

Surely this wouldn't have anything to do with the abuse of Five Eyes stuff?

Trump: 'We're not big fans' of UK's ambassador to the US

President Trump criticized the U.K. Ambassador to the U.S. Sir Kim Darroch after Darroch called the president "inept" and "incompetent" in leaked messages.

Trump spoke to reporters Sunday, saying that Darroch had done a poor job of serving the United Kingdom's interests in the United States. Trump also said he had not seen the messages that were first reported in the press on Saturday.

"We've had our little ins-and-outs with a couple of countries, and I would say that the U.K. and the ambassador has not served the U.K. well," Trump said. "We're not big fans of that man, and he has not served the U.K. well."

"I can say things about him, but I won’t bother," Trump concluded.

The US-UK scandal that is going to hit headlines this week is about the MI6, in coordination with the CIA, running Stefan Halper at me in London.

Trump and Reality occupy opposite ends of the Universe.

Asked about the leak, Trump told reporters in the US: "The ambassador has not served the UK well, I can tell you that.

"We are not big fans of that man and he has not served the UK well. So I can understand it, and I can say things about him but I won't bother."

BS. He’ll bother. Nothing is being said right now, because he’s not entirely sure who the guy actually is, right now. Once he’s fully briefed, expect the tweet storm.
