Neverending treachery: SHITLER manages to alienate our closest ally, even BoJo

Trump is losing the support of the United States' closest ally after the president slammed down the phone on them during an 'apoplectic' call

.... Donald Trump's previously close relationship with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson looks close to collapse, following new revelations that the president slammed down the phone on him.

Trump's behaviour during last week's call was described by officials as "apoplectic," and Johnson has now reportedly shelved plans for an imminent visit to Washington. ....

In a clear barb at Trump and his threats to launch a new trade war with Europe, Johnson added that "from Brussels to China to Washington, tariffs are being waved around like cudgels, even in debates on foreign policy where frankly they have no place." ....

Trump's decision to assassinate Qassem Soleimani last month was quickly criticised by Johnson's administration, with UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab warning that further conflict with Iran is "in none of our interests." ....

Trump's threats to target Iranian cultural sites were also criticised by Johnson, with his spokesperson telling reporters in London that any attempt to do so would be a war crime. ....

He (UK Defence Secretary Ben WALLACE) added: "The assumptions of 2010 that we were always going to be part of a US coalition is really just not where we are going to be."

But even then, I don’t think Johnson is that far right.

I wish we never did Brexit.
