JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: THE EMBARRASSING LEAK OF AN ASTUTE BRITISH AMBASSADOR’S CONFIDENTIAL OBSERVATIONS OF TRUMP – THEY CONFIRM EVERYONE’S WORST FEARS – MY QUESTION IS THEN WHY BRITISH POLICY TREATS TRUMP AS A LEADER RATHER THAN WHAT HE CLEARLY IS, A DANGEROUS MAN OF NO TALENT AND NO UNDERSTANDING ?

Well, the diplomatic papers might have been secret, but the Ambassador’s observations are shared by millions.

There really are no secrets here.

I am glad to see a British Ambassador offering such accurate analysis to his government, but then why is British foreign policy cast as though the opposite were true?

Criticizing and laughing in private at Trump is not very helpful if you still follow him in all his dangerous blundering as though he really were a leader.

Just who is the bigger fool then?
