Gerard Araud left his post as French ambassador to the U.S. on Friday.

And the diplomat pulled no punches when it came to describing President Donald Trump in an exit interview with the Foreign Policy news website.

Araud, 66, said former President Barack Obama was the “ultimate bureaucrat, an introvert, basically a bit aloof, a restrained president.”

Obama was also “a bit arrogant,” he claimed, but “basically somebody who every night was going to bed with 60-page briefings and the next day they were sent back annotated by the president.”

Trump, however, was “an extrovert, really a big mouth, who reads basically nothing or nearly nothing, with the interagency process totally broken and decisions taken from the hip basically.”

Brings truth to MAGA - Morons Are Governing America!

[SallyHemmings]

11. YES!!!!

[c-rational]

15. I like that.

[kaotikross]

3. thanks for telling us what we already knew

Obama- 60 pages read, annotated by hand I assume.
Trump- 0 pages read, too busy grabbing our money.

4. I have a few more:

Willfully ignorant, morally bankrupt, selfish, lazy, bad-tempered, and CRIMINAL.

6. I have read more than once

that people took Obama as arrogant, and I can never figure out where that comes from.

[mainer]

8. The usual "Uppity" complaint

No white guy likes to be outshone by a black guy.

[llmart]

10. That's it in a nutshell.

[Zambero]

14. Presidenting while black

Even more "egregious offenses" were "Presidenting while Kenyan-born and Muslim".

17. And don't forget.....

THE TAN SUIT!

[maddiemom]

20. Which looked GREAT on him. Too bad variety was nipped in the bud.

[Aristus]

18. No racist white guy.

I'm a white, middle-aged guy, and I'll gladly acknowledge that President Obama outshines me in almost every way imaginable.

[groundloop]

9. All I can guess is that he was quite reserved with what he said .....

and that people who didn't know him incorrectly drew the wrong conclusion.

[mountain grammy]

12. From a Frenchman it's actually funny

but whenever I hear it, it's like nails on a blackboard.

[LiberalBrooke]

13. He was the opposite of arrogant.

It is just that entitled white males see any person of color as arrogant if they are smarter than themselves.

[DeminPennswoods]

16. Could be just how introverts are perceived

nt

[murielm99]

19. Not unlike some of the criticisms of HRC.

Like Obama, Hillary gets slammed for being an introvert, an intellectual and a wonk. An introvert is not necessarily a loner or a cold person.

He may be an INTJ.

[UniteFightBack]

21. That's OK they have their own DEPLORABLES...except their color is YELLOW. nt

[Hulk]

22. No news there...

more interesting about President Obama than about the idiot that lives in the White House today. We all know he's a total lazy lard-ass.

[hlthe2b]

23. No and not news that the French would think this... That an ambassador would SAY SO--that's news

[Hulk]

24. Ah...thought he was a past embassador.

Yeah...that puts a brighter light on it.
