Now Trump is turning very nasty.

Oh my goodness is Trump mad angry or what! This British ambassador to Washington stuff has really got under his skin. He is lashing out at everyone British, except for the Queen and Prince Charles. He is now calling poor Sir Kim Darroch, Our Man in DC, a "pompous fool" and "very stupid" and won't have anything to do with him. Presumably he has ordered Mike Pompeo and his team at the State Department to cold-shoulder the ambassador and strike him off the invitation list for everything. How is poor Sir Kim bearing up? We don't know of course. Trump woke up tweeting this morning and sounded off not just at Sir Kim, again, but also at Theresa May, again. He blasted her for being foolish. Has the man no manners? It's one thing to be upset by the diplomatic faux pas but it's quite another to be so damned rude at the British prime minister. Leave her alone, I say. She's coming to the end of her premiership and she doesn't deserve to be spat at by the president of the United States as she closes the door of Number 10 Downing Street for the last time. Hasn't he got better things to do with his time than write unpleasant tweets about America's closest ally? As Sir Kim's predecessors have said, he was just doing his job. I'm sure that the current US ambassador to London has written some pretty damning telegrams back to Washington about the state of play in British politics right now. Luckily for him they haven't been leaked to a Sunday newspaper. Yet. As I said in my blog yesterday, the person responsible for collating all the emails and letters and telegrams from Sir Kim to London over the last two years has caused untold damage to this country and deserves to be hounded by the police and charged with a serious breach of the Official Secrets Act. But I doubt he or she will ever be found. The leaker will be keeping very quiet but I hope he or she is feeling mortified at the damage done. But, again, I doubt that's the case. The leaker, presumbaly known to the Mail on Sunday journalist who wrote the story, must have realised that Trump would go ballistic when the confidential comments by the ambassador were published. The first thing the police should investigate is whether there is someone either in the Foreign Office in London or at the embassy in Washington or anywhere else in Whitehall with a personal grudge against Sir Kim. Or did this person actually want to cause damage to this nation's reputation and used Sir Kim's confidential emails to achieve his aim? Or perhaps he/she thought it would be fun and never thought through the consequences. But only someone with a pea brain could imagine that this whole episode would just be laughed off. I fear Trump hasn't yet finished his tirade against the British ambassador and Theresa.
