Thank you for speaking up for us President Trump, but you could probably have added that she deliberately derailed Brexit.
Donald Trump criticised Theresa May for not listening to him about the best way to proceed with the UK’s exit from the European Union. In a thunderous tweet, he said it is “good news” the UK will soon have a new Prime Minister. In a further dig at Mrs May, he added “it was the Queen who I was most impressed with” during his state visit to the UK last month.
The US President tweeted: “I have been very critical about the way the UK and Prime Minister Theresa May handled Brexit.
“What a mess she and her representatives have created. I told her how it should be done, but she decided to go another way.
“I do not know the Ambassador, but he is not liked or well thought of within the US. We will no longer deal with him.
“The good news for the wonderful United Kingdom is that they will soon have a new Prime Minister.
“While I thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent state visit last month, it was the Queen who I was most impressed with!”
The latest criticisms from Mr Trump come following yet another weekend of high drama on both sides of the Atlantic.
The Foreign Office has begun an investigation after it emerged Sir Kim had said the US President was “insecure”, “inept” and ran a “uniquely dysfunctional” White House in private memos that have been leaked.
Downing Street said Mrs May has “full faith” in the UK’s ambassador to the US after the huge breach in confidentiality triggered a political firestorm.
But despite appearing to throw support behind Sir Kim, Number 10 distanced itself from his withering assessment of Mr Trump.
