Donald Trump 'inept', 'insecure' and 'incompetent'

[bots]

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'.

He warns senior politicians in London: 'Do not write him off.'

The leak is embarrassingly timed for the British Government, coming just weeks after the Queen welcomed Trump and his family with a 41-gun salute and a State banquet at Buckingham Palace as part of a diplomatic drive to secure a post-Brexit free-trade deal.

In a memo sent after the visit, Sir Kim warned that while Trump and his team had been 'dazzled' by the visit, and the UK might be 'flavour of the month', Trump's White House remained self-interested: 'This is still the land of America First'.

The Washington Files span the period from 2017 to the present, covering everything from Trump's policy in the Middle East to his 2020 re-election plans.

One account of a Trump rally says that there is a 'credible path' for Trump to win a second term in the White House – but describes the crowd as 'almost exclusively white'.

In what is likely to be regarded as a patronising passage in the cache, officials in London are told that in order to deal with Trump effectively 'you need to make your points simple, even blunt'.

The most incendiary paper is a letter to National Security Adviser Sir Mark Sedwill sent on June 22, 2017 – 150 days into the Trump administration – and copied to what Sir Kim describes as a 'strictly limited' number of senior figures in Downing Street and the Foreign Office.

The document, sent ahead of a National Security Council discussion on the UK-US relationship, paints a damning picture of the President's personality and leadership style.

It says media reports of 'vicious infighting and chaos' inside the White House – dismissed by Trump as 'fake news' – are 'mostly true'.

And referring to allegations of collusion between the Trump camp and Russia – since largely disproved – the memo says: 'The worst cannot be ruled out.'

The cache also includes diplomatic telegrams – known as 'DipTel' in Foreign Office jargon – updating Downing Street on political events in the US and providing commentary on Trump's foreign policy decisions.

They reveal details of highly sensitive negotiations over efforts to curb Iran's nuclear weapons programme, as well as the disarray surrounding the President's handling of recent attacks on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.

One memo, sent by Sir Kim on June 22, refers to 'incoherent, chaotic' US-Iran policy, adding: 'Its unlikely that US policy on Iran is going to become more coherent any time soon. This is a divided Administration'.

He questioned Trump's recent claim that he aborted a missile strike on Iran because it would have caused a predicted 150 casualties, saying it 'doesn't stand up'.

'It's more likely that he was never fully on board and that he was worried about how this apparent reversal of his 2016 campaign promises would look come 2020' – at the next Presidential election.

Another memo, sent on June 10, warns of tensions ahead over Brexit: 'As we advance our agenda of deepening and strengthening trading arrangements, divergences of approach on climate change, media freedoms and the death penalty may come to the fore.'

But I guess it's another flub for people to mock for weeks on end to make themselves feel clever :)

You should do some research into the story, it's difficult to read and even more difficult to doubt especially considering how much it lines up with all the other **** around Trump as well. He raped a thirteen year old girl with Jeffrey Epstein, he raped his ex-wife and he has a list of women who have put forth their stories against him and most of all, we have his words that detail how he thinks he can grab women because of who he is.

Let's not defend a child rapist because he happens to align with you politically, shall we?

Someone who looked into the case doubts the 13 year old even exists (https://www.revelist.com/politics/i-talked-with-katie-johnson/3573/the-day-after-my-interview-baer-forwarded-me-a-letter-johnson-looked-to-have-written-that-day/15), so let's not jump the gun.

That is a nothing article. A victim wants to remain anonymous because she's accusing the president and this is cause to doubt her when her story and the facts line up? How long did you have to google to find such an article, I wonder?

Trump is a rapist, even if the conspiracy theories around Jane Doe are true, he still raped Ivana Trump and he still has victims in his wake crying out for justice.

[Oliver_W]

Who knows for sure? A guilty verdict is the only thing which will keep him out of the White House until 2024, so it's obviously gonna be the drum his detractors keep banging, no matter how much truth there is in it.

[Twosugars]

It was amusing to hear Hunt throwing the ambassador under the bus and kissing the giant orange arsehole. We're fast becoming a vasal state of america. Getting back control? More like handing it over to the orange moron.

[user104658]

He "refuses to deal with" anyone who has any criticism of him. Honestly, at this point, we're just lucky that the US does have some very robust basic laws woven into their political and legal system, because Trump would LOVE to be a classic dictator. Thankfully - whilst somewhat powerful - the POTUS doesn't have that sort of unilateral control or the world would be in real trouble.

It’s great news that a man just doing his job, has lost his job because someone leaked documents not meant for public viewing, then was bullied by Trump because his feelings were hurt? Your bias is showing Arista.

There was no real ammo in there though. There was more complaining about how Trump is incompetent and a big baby, but nothing substantive the Dems could use.

Whoever leaked ti should be dragged across the coals instead of Sir Tim taking the fall.

True but it could be a kind of ‘look,The Brits even think you’re **** too’.

I don’t think the ambassador was the target.Only because he’s apparently retiring at Christmas anyway.Plus if a new PM wanted to get a new ambassador then they really would’nt need to go to all that trouble.

Of course, it's underhanded and cheap and it stinks of the brexteering tactics. They've moved on from lying on the side of buses to risking international incidents just to get someone in who will be Pro-Trump. EU is bad but gagging on Trump's chode is perfectly fine.

Oh yeah I forgot that ambassadors the the USA have full control over the UK's departure of a trade partnership in Europe.

[bots]

it was most probably Aaron Banks that leaked it to the press and he was probably fed the information by a tory MP. Banks is a good chum of Farage .... so it was most probably a brexit led leak, backed up by Boris not supporting the diplomat. Why they decided to do it remains to be seen, but I hope it doesn't get brushed under the carpet.
