Mangled



Lord Mandelson called an ‘absolute moron’ by Trump campaign chief


Donald Trump’s campaign manager has called Lord Mandelson an “absolute moron” and said he should “stay home” after the Labour peer was announced as the UK’s next ambassador to Washington.

Chris LaCivita, who masterminded Mr Trump’s presidential bid earlier this year, hit back at Sir Keir Starmer’s choice for the role and praised the incumbent, Dame Karen Pierce.

“This UK government is special,” he said. “Replace a professional universally respected ambo with an absolute moron - he should stay home! Sad!”



I don't have any particular angle on this, merely the belated pleasure of seeing Mandelson mangled so robustly and so prominently.

The US ambassadors, at least to the plumb jobs, tend to be a reward for donors and supporters. I wonder who will be their ambassador to London, and how it will show what they think of us.

In my opinion he has made a living out of appearing to be a 'safe pair of hands'.

Perhaps Mandy's tenure may be cut short if Epstein's "guest list" is made public?

djc - it will be a hoot if their ambassador to London turns out to be Kamala Harris.

DJ - but not necessarily safe near everyone allegedly.

Penseivat - I hope so, what fun that would be.
