The reaction from government officials in the United Kingdom to President-elect Donald Trump's suggestion that they replace the sitting ambassador to the United States with Britain's populist, anti-immigrant U.K. Independence Party leader, Nigel Farage, was swift and dismissive.

So....what you're sayin' is....President Obama did well in his first 4, so he got 8! I'm down with the plan.

Yahtzee!

Nope.

 

I'll give Obama credit, he can talk a good fight. He just can't fight.

I believe she just said she's down with 8 years of Trump. Coming around quickly.

Now that we've had our fun, does anyone care to comment on the OP? Is this a harbinger of "diplomacy" to come?

It was a tongue and cheek comment response to a something. This is meaningless.

Trump gets asked a tongue-and-cheek question about Farage as ambassador and replies routinely that he would make a great ambassador. From such meaningless exchanges do miles of newsprint grow.

Nigel Farage would be great UK ambassador to US, says Donald Trump | Politics | The Guardian

 

In a brief call with BBC Breakfast, Farage said he had been awake since 2am UK time when the tweet was first posted.

The Ukip leader said he was flattered by the tweet, calling it “a bolt from the blue” and said he did not see himself as a typical diplomatic figure “but this is not the normal course of events”.

But a Downing Street spokesman said: “There is no vacancy. We already have an excellent ambassador to the US.”

 

 

Since both Trump and Farage are outsides they have forged a relationship. Further down from Farage.

 

Farage said personal relationships were key to how the former business tycoon operated. “Sadly, the cesspit that is career politics understands nothing of this,” he said. “In their world the concept of trust is transitory."

 

 

Lets see if Jonathan Pie does a bit on this. The British Youtube redition of Colbert hates both May and Trump.
