Donald Trump’s two-day royal interregnum is over and the President is lashing out at his political foes as brewing trouble at home begins to erode the statesmanlike demeanor he has adopted on a smooth state visit to Britain.
Trump blasted top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer, warned Mexico he wasn’t bluffing about a new tariff offensive, accused Joe Biden of plagiarism, boasted about the size of his crowds and rebuked the media.
The outburst, from the stately US ambassador’s residence in London, came before Trump takes part in two days of solemn commemorations of the D-Day Normandy landings in 1944 and after he mostly kept a lid on his disruptive tendencies in a gracious performance alongside Britain’s royal family.
