U.S. And Britain In Uproar Over Diplomatic Bombshell | NBC Nightly News

this isn’t secret nor is it a bombshell

[daniellastamp]

Was this supposed to be a secret? In that case, we all knew already.

[philliplopez]

Guilty of an honest assessment of the Trump administration, how terrible .

[redeye]

Bombshell, slash, roast, slammed, bam, boom ect. Reminds me of the old Batman cartoons. Bam, pow, slam. Na na na na Batman

[fajita]

The propaganda around Iran, blaming them for everything, is completely astounding.

[summertyme]

I like the Ambassador and he is well thought of in America and by Americans, esp. now.

[louisechacon]

How is saying Trump is dysfunctional a surprise? It's not like anyone else isn't thinking it.

[mrviperx]

Sadly I think that more then less proved his point in a way.

[agolftweetler]

Radiates insecurity, inept. Brilliant! Funny yet painfully obvious! 👏

[newlvlup]

“Radiates insecurity” lol dude got that right for sure

[viakhnine]

0:49 J. Hunt is fighting hard to hold back a smile.

[novellanurney]

He should defend that free speech right for every citizen with in the U.K. getting fined, jailed and harassed for thier opinions. Seems a tad hypocritical considering the appalling freespeech violations, that are becoming increasingly evident . But, cheers for the vague, milquetoast placations.

[stokelyvieira]

Was he wrong for saying what everyone else is thinking 🚬👀

[jackjack]

Obama and FAKE British MI6 spy tried first ever USA COUP and FAILED .. enough said about HYSTERICAL House DEMS and British Fascism!

[earlenewallace]

The ambassador was saying what is clearly evident to anyone with eyes and ears.

[billkemp]

This is not news! The Brit diplomate only stated the obvious, the elephant in the room. Seriously who did not already think this?

[gordonadams]

He calls 'em as he sees 'em. ☺

[robcog]

The Brits have criticized every US President for decades. Maybe for centuries...

[drd]

With a tweet, Trump proved the ambassador's assessment to be accurate.

[karlwolf]

At this point, talk means nothing. The ambassador can say whatever he wants (it's his freedom), but Trump has proven that he is not inept. Nothing else matters.
