Trump's request for a particular UK person as Ambassador to the US

[MineralMan]

is just the first of what will be a long and embarrassing series of diplomatic gaffes by Trump. Since he has no understanding at all of diplomacy as practiced by nations and their representatives, he will err frequently and seriously. Even the smallest and poorest of nations takes sovereignty as a very serious matter. Trump thinks he will be the sovereign of everyone, but his blunt, abrasive, and confrontational style is going to be rejected and condemned by almost every nation and diplomatic representatives.

Donald Trump is the quintessential "Ugly American," and he will have enormous difficulties in dealing with other nations, simple because he has no respect or knowledge of how diplomacy works. He is an affront to the entire concept of diplomatic relations.

Donald Trump will be a total failure on a grand, international scale.

1. He's no doubt waiting for countries to select their US embassadors.

Can't wait to here who Jamaica picks. Maybe Canada will pick Willie Nelson. Saudi Arabia will want Dick Cheney. Honduras will pick Ollie North.

2. Quintessential "Ugly American" hits...

...the old nail right on the head.

No class, no gentility, no grace, no dignity, no manners. He is a boorish clod.

3. Trump, to his protocol director:

"So, when I meet the Queen of England, do I call her Liz, Beth, or Queenie? Which would be better?

Protocol director: "Call her "Your Majesty."

Trump: "What?!? Doesn't she have a name? I call people what I want to call them. You're fired!"

4. I foresee a...

..."We are not amused" expression of controlled distaste on the Queen's face when they meet.

5. I hope she has

a very special kind of diss for him.
