Unsurprisingly, leaked comments from the United Kingdom's ambassador to the United States, Kim Darroch, calling President Trump "inept" and "incompetent" did not sit well with Trump.

It took the commander-in-chief a little while to respond to the news, which broke on Saturday evening, but he eventually got around to firing back at Darroch on Monday afternoon over Twitter. Essentially, Trump said that the White House will ignore Darroch until Prime Minister Theresa May's resignation goes into effect and a new government takes over in London.

....thought of within the U.S. We will no longer deal with him. The good news for the wonderful United Kingdom is that they will soon have a new Prime Minister.

It's unclear if the sentiment that Darroch is not well-liked in the U.S. is actually true. Senior Trump officials, including White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, senior adviser Stephen Miller, and acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, have all been Darroch's private dinner guests, while national security adviser John Bolton meets with Darroch frequently, The Washington Post reports.

He also apparently played a role in orchestrating Trump's state visit to the U.K. last month, which Trump remains enthusiastic about.

Fact check: @KimDarroch is well-liked by the Trump administration and played a key role in the State Visit that the President liked so much. He's also an excellent diplomat that did some fo the finest reporting on US politics that I saw during my time in the @foreignoffice. https://t.co/KeAIOB1XuU — Andrew Overton (@AROverton) July 8, 2019

One other word that Darroch used to describe Trump in the cables was widely noted: "insecure." Tim O'Donnell
