Maybe all you poor souls on this forum who have nothing better to do than smash Trump daily could entertain us with some stories of your exploits and successes in life. Surely they would make Trump pale by comparison. I know I would be thrilled to know more about you all. It's not a dissenting voice you provide, just an incoherent and illogical puerile rant that one might expect of a five year old - "Well, what have you done that makes you so special "...etc etc ad nauseam. Returning to the subject, the source of the leak may be easier to detect than some think.A previous Ambassador points out - "The more sensitive stuff — in other words, the ambassador's personal judgment about the longevity of the Trump administration — would have been written as a letter addressed to an individual, copied to a small number of other individuals, probably not more than half a dozen, perhaps 10 or 12. It ought not to be too difficult for a leak inquiry to discover who had that, and who has shared it with other unauthorised people." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the hell is this jumped up, unqualified nothing who is only there just because her father wants to Gafurgle her! My government should just ignore her as they all did at the G20 Conference. And apart from anything else - the UK Ambassador just spoke the truth! Everything he said was correct. Truth or not doesn't matter, he only gave, confidentially, his personal opinion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well since you brought it up, I'll have to admit that I didn't get millions from my daddy, squander it on bad business deals to the tune of 4 bankruptcies, con the life savings out of ordinary people, constantly stiff contractors working for me, hire illegals on a routine basis, cheat on my wife(s) repeatedly, dodge military service with a fake deferment, sexually assault countless women, and constantly lie my ass off about all things big and small. Oh, I also didn't win a Presidential election with the help of the Russians.

Jesus! Are you for real? Do you realise that is what Ambassadors do? They inform their Governments about the things they need to know! It's not the Ambassador - it's the cretin who leaked it that's the problem. What if that had been a report that was vital to the UK? (Well, actually it was, if they didn't already know that)! And not only that - the guy was telling the truth! Great that the world can see just how Mr. Trump conducts the business of his country ............

There's probably an irony in all these leaked UK Ambassador's memos in that the U.S. intelligence agencies most likely have copies as well. But given the nature of the UK Ambassadore's description of Trump and his administration, the U.S. intelligence agencies would withhold the content of those memos from the White House. Trump tends to punish the messenger of bad tidings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RJRS1301 Posted July 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2019 He insults people all the time, both on twitter and verbally in press conferences, but when the truth is told about him, he shows how thinned skinned he actually is. He acts like a spoiled entitled teenager, no dignity or emotional intelligence. The Ambassador did not say anything that was not already known worldwide. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that you and other geniuses on this thread have not bothered to read Liam Fox's comments with care.He was not apologizing for the Ambassador's comments but rather for the malicious leaking. Jayboy, surely by now you should know anyone who clings to, or supports, apologizes for, attacks critics of, Trump seem incapable of grasping basic high school concepts of, well, any slightly nuanced shit whatsoever! Ironically, they'll latch onto absurd claims as gospel truth -if Trump says it. He's lied thousands of times, and most of the facts to prove it, existed BEFORE he was POTUS. It matters not. Their minds are made up and they'll follow him into the mouth of hell, like the poor fools in Hitler's Berlin bunker 1945.???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
