Trump calls UK ambassador ‘a very stupid guy’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleWASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump calls the British ambassador to the United States “a very stupid guy,” one day after declaring he would cut contact with the diplomat following a leak of cables describing Trump as “inept.”
“The wacky Ambassador that the U.K. foisted upon the United States is not someone we are thrilled with, a very stupid guy,” Trump wrote in a series of tweets.
