Britain's man in the the US says Trump is 'inept': Leaked secret cables from ambassador say the President is 'uniquely dysfunctional and his career could end in disgrace'

*EXCLUSIVE: Sir Kim Darroch used secret cables to impugn Trump's character
*Top diplomat warned London President Trump's career could end in 'disgrace'
*Bombshell comments risk angering the notoriously thin-skinned US President
*He describes bitter conflicts in White House as 'knife fights', sources confirmed
*And claims President's economic policies could wreck the world trade system
*Says Presidency could 'crash and burn', 'we could be at start of downward spiral'

Britain's Ambassador to Washington has described Donald Trump as 'inept', 'insecure' and 'incompetent' in a series of explosive memos to Downing Street.

Sir Kim Darroch, one of Britain's top diplomats, used secret cables and briefing notes to impugn Trump's character, warning London that the White House was 'uniquely dysfunctional' and that the President's career could end in 'disgrace'.

His bombshell comments risk angering the notoriously thin-skinned President and undermining the UK's 'special relationship' with America.

In the memos, seen by The Mail on Sunday following an unprecedented leak, Sir Kim:

*Describes bitter conflicts within Trump's White House – verified by his own sources – as 'knife fights';
*Warns that Trump could have been indebted to 'dodgy Russians';
*Claims the President's economic policies could wreck the world trade system;
*Says the scandal-hit Presidency could 'crash and burn' and that 'we could be at the beginning of a downward spiral... that leads to disgrace and downfall';
*Voices fears that Trump could still attack Iran.

In one of the most sensitive documents, Sir Kim writes: 'We don't really believe this Administration is going to become substantially more normal; less dysfunctional; less unpredictable; less faction riven; less diplomatically clumsy and inept.'

1. I'm up for a good measure of career ending disgrace right now!

Get him the Hell out of there!!!

This is stunning - and absolutely true.

[Scarsdale]

13. Copies of this article should

be sent to EVERY gop member. The ones who back this moron 100%, especially such as Nunes, Gym Jordan, Lindsey Graham and the rest of those clowns.

[paleotn]

18. They're all aware....

Some are complicit. True believers. The rest fear being primaried. Only 1 has had the gumption to admit the obvious publicly. The last thing a Rethug wants is to have to find a private job, so staying elected is their primary objective. It's a fine mess they've gotten themselves in.

[GulfCoast66]

25. But they are not true believers. They know he is batshit crazy and unhinged.

That’s the saddest part. But he is the only game they got. There is no other way to maintaining and increasing their power.

They have now bet the farm he can win no matter the means.

But they made a bad bet. He will eventually fall mightily. Literature from Ancient Greece to Shakespeare warm us about this hubris and behavior. And the reason they remain relevant is because humans do not really change.

The only question is the damage he will do before and during his fall.

My greatest fear is the 30 days between histor potential loss and the swearing in of a Democratic President.

I’m not assuming we win. But if we do, and I think we will, those will be perilous times. And no matter what he tries his sycophants will be right there supporting him.

I am for the first time in years glad the states elect the president and the federal government has almost nothing to do with it.

38. Trump and his Slovenian sex worker are what the American capitalist kings want

The richest of the rich want this. The Koch bros, the Walton, the Gates and Bezos are all just fine with having these grifters run our government. They either support the Traitor or they enable him. As long as the richest of the rich are making some money, Trump will remain in office.

Take a good long look at the weird fat man who married his sex work. This is the face of capitalism. This is what the supposed top of our society want. This is capitalism animated.

46. Bammm!

[NoMoreRepugs]

2. In other news Sir Kim Darroch awarded Nobel prize for accuracy.

[UniteFightBack]

3. Dysfunctional tRUMP is Corrupt and Morally Bankrupt. Cheers. nt

[smirkymonkey]

4. Well, at least somebody is on the ball.

That's reassuring.

[TheBlackAdder]

47. Did Drumpf put out the typical "Loser" tweet in response?

[smirkymonkey]

48. I think even he is unimpressed.

Apparently not tweet worthy.

[tanyev]

5. May this be an Emperor's New Clothes moment.

[Marthe48]

7. Our allies should rightly shun us and block any actions this nut cases try

Knock us off the G7 and any other economic platforms. take the trumpskies out of the loop. Oh yeah, and support any action by anyone with the balls to arrest trump, and anyone who tries to prevent the arrest and anyone named as part of the traitorous conspiracy to destroy the U.S.A.

It'll take time, but with the help of our allies, our country can recover. France and Sweden survived nazi sympathizing governments and England survived George III and Cromwell. But this just has to stop. I have impaired relatives and I wouldn't ask them for or expect from them more than they are capable of doing. trump is so impaired he lets anyone who offers him a pet instead of a kick to lead him around by the nose. He doesn't think of the past or live for the future and he can't make decisions more than what flavor of cake he'll eat.

[LakeArenal]

8. Is that all?

[CatMor]

9. This is what we all know and have always known.

I have a feeling most of the rest of the world thinks the same. It is important for our country and the world for trump to be removed from office, the sooner the better.

[Wounded Bear]

10. From the Department of Redundancy Department...

[Wellstone ruled]

11. Wow,it took almost 2 1/2 years for this Guy to

figure out what many of us knew from day 1. I know,I know,some are just a bit slower than others.

[EleanorR]

32. These communications extend from June 2017 to the present

[Jim__]

12. Did we really think other countries didn't know? -n/t

[Jopin Klobe]

14. "impugn Trump's character"??? ...

... HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwww ...

... hooooolllleeeeeeeeeyyyyyy CRAP ...

im·pugn

[NCjack]

15. All western democracies: You are now green-lighted to send secret dirt on Trump

to American newspapers.

[AllyCat]

16. It already IS all of these things.

I doubt many of the folks that already knew that are even ambassadors. Just everyday folks watching this clown and his handlers shit on our country.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

17. OMG BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Love it! Truthteller!

[DemoTex]

19. And the Brits are masters of understatement ..

Tell us how you really feel, Sir Kim .. PLEASE!

[paleotn]

20. Nice to see such conclusions at the top of the British government...

But it's nothing we don't already know.

[Martin Eden]

21. The only startling thing about these revelations is ...

They were made public.

[FakeNoose]

22. He should have just tweeted this - that's what Chump would have done

I get it, Sir Kim Darroch doesn't want to disgrace the Crown or the British government. So he sends it in a "secret" cable that gets leaked everywhere around the world.

Just by using all these $10 multi-syllable words he's already made it unintelligible to most of the ChumpWorld anyway. He could have saved time and money by tweeting it.

[SunSeeker]

23. Just stating what everyone already knows. nt

[SayItLoud]

24. More of these diplomatic cables will be finding their way into the MSM, count on it. nt

[NBachers]

26. Well! Just wait 'till Rump's friend The Queen finds out about thiss!!

The good ambassador will find himself in an unfortunate helicopter crash.

[FirstLight]

40. nope....

[jberryhill]

27. This is a secret?

[Mike Nelson]

28. True, but...

… nobody can "impugn Trump's character" more than Trump himself.

[sakabatou]

29. Tell us something we don't know!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

30. Anyone else sense the irony here?

These are statements from a representative of a government in the middle of a wrong-headed right-wing Brexit war, with many saying that's due to the incompetence of PM Theresa May and divisions in the Tory Party.

Further, it appears they're about to appoint Boris Johnson as the replacement for PM May, who is just as much of an idiot as tRump.

Delighted we heard from Sir Darroch and it is refreshing to hear what we knew but it's also arrogant hypocrisy....

UK's Torys are just like our ReThugs but with fancier words.....

[Kaleva]

31. Pretty much common knowledge. No need for secret cables and briefing notes.

[DeminPennswoods]

33. This stuff is already well-known

and has been reported in the press and 4 or 5 books on the Trump presidency since he was elected.

[Skittles]

34. he's just saying what any thinking person already knows

[BadgerMom]

35. I want to know who leaked these...

(to the Daily Mail, no less) and why. It’s absolutely true that this will light DJT’s hair on fire. He will want to hit back at Britain. Why would someone do this?

[LuvNewcastle]

39. That's what I'm thinking.

I don't believe this was an accident. I'm sure they have ways of sending information that they can be assured is secret. This was either leaked purposely or transmitted in such a way to make it easy to see. They're sending a message that they are distancing themselves from him. They know something is coming and they don't want anything splashed on their shoes.

[Blue Owl]

36. I say, this Trump chap thinks there were airports in 1776

n/t

[dweller]

37. this links back to the Epstein case

right ?

✌🏼️

[Harker]

41. Booting him out will merely prolong the fun.

I suspect he'll be recalled in diplomatic deference to the "special relationship."

[Yavin4]

42. Hmmm

[Hekate]

43. Kick

[sandensea]

44. That's what his Chumpkins like about him

"He's inept and dysfunctional - just like us. And if them Brits don't like it, we'll bomb their queen!"

[lpbk2713]

45. He certainly did not impugn Trump's character.

Trump has no character.

[Goodheart]

49. Never in the history of the world has "inept" been such an understatement.

[ck4829]

50. I've got some sensitive information too... The sky is blue and water is wet

[Gumboot]

51. Very diplomatic and very British.

I'd love to know what the Australian ambassador thinks of Donny.
