Trump Angrily Threatens Close Ally On Twitter Like A Psychotic Toddler

President Donald Trump continues to attempt to conduct major foreign affairs via his whiny tweets. This Monday, he responded on the platform to the news that Britain’s U.S. Ambassador Kim Darroch had derided the Trump administration as “inept,” proudly announcing that his team would apparently no longer deal with Darroch at all. In other words, Trump is demanding that another country reshuffle their foreign service because he feels insulted — and in the process, he offered some strangely juvenile and even sexist-seeming criticism of outgoing British Prime Minister Theresa May, acting like she just needed to have listened to him to solve all her country’s problems — or something.

In yet another feat of the kind of behavior you’d never hope to see personified by the president of the United States, Trump complained on Twitter of Darroch:

‘I do not know the Ambassador, but he is not liked or well thought of within the U.S. We will no longer deal with him.’

In that same rant, he added of May:

‘I have been very critical about the way the U.K. 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… 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!’

To be clear — Trump has no position whatsoever to be even trying to boss around the U.K. in their handling of their planned and so far, fumbled exit from the European Union. He’s so far off into the deep end here with his arrogance that there’s little apparent explanation besides sexism. Is he seriously standing on the world stage and complaining that a foreign leader didn’t do exactly as he said? Seriously?

British journalist Robert Peston suggested that the only real winner in this mess of a situation is Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has been able for some time now to rely on Trump as an errand boy in his effort to destabilize the Western order.

Besides these topics, Trump also spoke out Monday on Twitter against the Russia investigation as supposedly illegal — it’s not — and claimed that media reports tried to bury the size of the crowd that gathered for his Fourth of July celebration, despite no evidence of this.

Brilliant Constitutional Lawyer, Dr. John Eastman, said the Special Prosecutor (Mueller) should have NEVER been appointed in the first place. The entire exercise was fundamentally illegal. The Witch Hunt should never happen to another President of the U.S. again. A TOTAL SCAM! pic.twitter.com/5sRAMhHAR8
