Sir Kim Darroch, the British ambassador to the U.S. whose blistering and insulting dispatches about President Trump became public, has resigned his position As they say, a good diplomat can tell someone to go to hell and that person will be smiling and tell the diplomat that he is looking forward to the trip! Even if the ambassador in question hated President Trump's guts, he did not act like a diplomat.

ambassadors to the U.S. pick up much of their thinking about the U.S. from the functional equivalent of watching CNN — consuming the mainstream media and talking to Washington “insiders.” Few such insiders think anything that’s original or unconventional. If they did, they would be Washington outsiders. In the case of President Trump, Washington thinking is even less varied and nuanced than usual. That’s because many Republican insiders hold Trump in as much contempt as Democratic insiders do. Yep, Trump shook up our oligarchy - and most of those of other countries. Hopefully, he will get re-elected. Michael Anton’s line of thinking expressed in his “Flight 93 election” still applies, as much as ever. claremont.org
