WASHINGTON—President Trump assailed Britain’s ambassador to Washington for the third successive day, calling him “very stupid” and “wacky,” an attack that will present an early challenge for Britain’s next prime minister in managing relations with the country’s most important ally.

Mr. Trump was responding to leaked diplomatic cables sent by Kim Darroch, a senior career diplomat who has been the U.K. chief envoy in Washington since 2016. In the secret documents, reported by Britain’s Mail on Sunday newspaper, Mr. Darroch described the Trump administration as “clumsy” and “inept,” and criticized its policies on Iran and trade.

The wacky Ambassador that the U.K. foisted upon the United States is not someone we are thrilled with, a very stupid guy. He should speak to his country, and Prime Minister May, about their failed Brexit negotiation, and not be upset with my criticism of how badly it was...


On Tuesday, Mr. Trump’s response followed up earlier criticisms of Mr. Darroch. “The wacky Ambassador that the U.K. foisted upon the United States is not someone we are thrilled with, a very stupid guy,” the president tweeted. He added “I don’t know the Ambassador but have been told he is a pompous fool.”
Maybe if someone gave him a pacifier it would help.
