Decency, decorum, and common sense suggest Trump would go out of his way to show gratitude toward his British hosts. But once again, he lacks restraint.

It quickly became apparent that this was not a wise move: the American president ended up insulting British Prime Minister Theresa May and caused a minor international incident by praising one of her prominent critics.
What’s more, the article appeared online during a gala dinner that May had thrown in Trump’s honor.

Trump later insisted he “never” called Meghan Markle “nasty,” despite video evidence suggesting otherwise.
