Lord Peter Mandelson UK’s ambassador to the USA

love0c

Trump will eat him for breakfast. Trump is a very clever man. Unlike Mandelson who just thinks he is!

I assume you are joking.

'Trump a very clever man' A bully, a narcissist, a fantasist, a liar and a rabble rouser, definitely, but clever?

As an article in the Daily Mail (NOT a Labour supporting paper) said today Ruthless, cynical and cunning - why Mandy is the perfect choice as US ambassador

I completely concur. He will have Trump running round in circles.

Actually be doesnt. He comes across as someone who is imitating a suave old Etonian, but, scratch the surface is obviously a Grammar boy impersonating a Public boy!

That's interesting, Jaberwok. Can you explain how you reached that judgement?

What is he doing wrong that marks him out as a grammar school oik rather than pukka public school?

I just love that sentence. It's pity we don't have the equivalent of a family quotes book on here

I watched him being made to look utterly ridiculous by Piers Morgan of all people on the gender issue, so perhaps he parked his political intellect that day.
As I have mentioned before I dont cheer on men who associate with Epstein, whichever party they belong to.

DT is very thin skinned and has a good memory for those who insult him. The choice for Ambassador should have gone to a person with a clean record on that score.

Then he must have forgotten, or failed to notice, that his 'buddy' Boris Johnson also once opined, publicly, that he considered him unfit for the office of POTUS.

... and accused him of "stupefying ignorance"

A Gransnetter perhaps?

I do wonder though Monica whether Trumps deliberate obscuration, his constant change of mind and his weird self referencial way of speaking is hiding a very cunning clever mind

Cunning and clever doesn’t equal intelligence imo

I agree Iam64

He reminds me of a fox, similar moral compass

No, but I think anybody dealing with Trump needs all the weapons he can get!

😂I’ll do it, a stint in the US being well paid is right up my street.As long as DT doesn’t look at GN and my comments about him.😲🤭

Get your passport packed Oreo, I can see you and Prince Darkness as a good combination. The idea anyone who hasn’t criticised Trump can be found …… Ah it’s FriedGreenTomatoes but we can’t send her because she can see no wrong in orange Donald

He won’t have forgotten anything said publicly about him including Johnson, Lammy, Mandelson and Khan.
In any case Boris isn’t going to be our Ambassador in the US.

I’d prefer to do the job on my own Iam64 and I don’t think I’d play well with Mandy🤭

Have you ever met any of these 'suave Etonians' you talk about? Most of them are conmen and find faking the false idea of an old Etonian, pays very well.

I have met several old Etonians they varied from the very ordinary, chap in the Claphm omnibus to the delightful kind and courteous people many of them are.

Haven’t seen or heard of him called Mandy for years, early days of his sexuality being in the press started it

And then again, there's Boris! 😁

Trump is a very clever man



In what way do you think he is clever?

It's a serious question - I have never heard him be described thus previously!

I think he's wily and artful, but not skilful.

Really not sure that it will be Mandelson who is served up for breakfast.

I may be wrong, something might go wrong early but I see Peter Mandleson as a good appointment. He’s an experienced operator.
Anniebach, I’d completely forgotten it was his sexuality that had him named Mandy. I don’t believe that kind of derogatory demeaning of a gay man by journalists would happen now. Calling him a moron though, quite acceptable. It’s one step forward two steps back.

Oreo, sorry you don’t get the job. You weren’t being appointed to play nice but to co- work with the Prince of Darkness. Anyway he’s been touch and doesn’t want a job share.
