I'm not known for being very diplomatic...

In French we say " franchise brutale". It means literally "brutal frankness". I don't know the appropriate expression in English.

In Arabic too, there is a lot of expression, more in the Mexican style : indirect.

I'll look for one related.

Told the CEO of Wells Fargo: at best you were incompetent, at worst you were complicit. Either way, you should be fired! I wish she would have said this to Trump!
