"Donald Trump has insulted the UK one too many times - he is not welcome here"

From one of the editors of the UK paper the Independent:

Who does Donald Trump think he is?

Whoever that may be, he has that rare and most unblessed of political gifts – an uncanny ability to unite enemies (think Iran and North Korea forming an informal nuclear alliance), and divide and alienate friends. Now it is again the turn of America’s staunchest ally, Britain, who he seems to think is some sort of jihadi sewer in a civil war with Isis.

The President of the United States took to twitter to declare: “Just out report: ‘United Kingdom crime rises 13 per cent annually amid spread of Radical Islamic terror.’ Not good, we must keep America safe!”

He has better things to do, surely, than to take such an unusual interest in the crime figures of a foreign country; what a shame his facility for statistics is not correspondingly keen (as was graphically displayed before when he picked on Sweden for some abuse).

Imagine if Theresa May tweeted some line about how “dumb” Americans must be to allow their citizenry to buy combat rifles and powerful machine guns that can kill dozens in seconds, as they did in Las Vegas so recently, all in the name of some “sad” old document from the 18th century that, arguably, was intended to let them have a musket or something.

For the British, like so many Americans, Trump is turning from an embarrassment and source of innocent amusement into a clear and present danger to America’s internal and external security. In an unprecedented episode, both his immediate predecessors have said as much. Barack Obama and George W Bush have made coded but precise criticisms of the damage this man is doing. It is not difficult to believe that the other surviving presidents – Jimmy Carter, George HW Bush and Bill Clinton share those deep concerns. In fact every president since the War of 1812 would be astonished by Trump’s anti-British insults.

How bad can things get before he has to leave office? How long do we have to endure the Trump nightmare? Who will he insult next?

2. K&R. With a resounding fuck you for emphasis

3. Sarah Huckabee Sanders will

bat her false eyelashes, and scold them for daring to hit back at the "commander in chief". I wonder if he has been allowed to read this, since his handlers keep any negative reports hidden from the overgrown baby. What a disgrace he is to this entire country. The whole world knows he is not qualified for the job, not even remotely qualified for anything really. Maybe that is the reason he was Putin's chosen one.

8. Huckabee and Kelly will start calling the Queen an empty barrel.

6. I think we should bookmark DU on his smartphone as his homepage.

The Cabinet will only need to call in the cleanup crew to wipe up the exploded head.

7. As Trump(R) foments nuclear war with NK, he alienates our closest ally. And the band plays on.
