"The most corrupt president The United States have ever seen."

UK Member of Parliament Ed Davey does not mince words when characterizing Trump after his move to take Greenland.

Thanks for the tip @hadon.

Why has it taken so long to start saying this? It's been obvious for many many years.

It's not a normal situation. British politics is not set up to handle the situation where that's a thing that has to be said out loud about a powerful ex-ally without any diplomatic sugar coating, so they take a bit of time to work up to it.

Diplomacy is the art of dealing with others with politeness, but under Trump it's no longer an art, it's become a combat sport.

Oh even when it's polite that doesn't mean it's not a combat sport. Maybe especially when it's a particular kind of polite.
