THE ABC journalist whose savage take-down of Donald Trump’s G20 performance went viral has doubled down on his scathing assessment.

Political editor Chris Uhlmann pulled no punches when he delivered his wrap-up of Trump’s appearance at the conference on Sunday, calling him an “uneasy, lonely, awkward figure” who was left “isolated and friendless” with “no desire and no capacity to lead the world”.

But even after the brutal commentary was shared thousands of times across the world and caught the attention of Washington heavyweights, Uhlmann was not deterred to further critique the President’s performance.

In a cross to ABC radio’s AM program on Monday morning, the reporter again railed against Mr Trump’s leadership style while discussing his lack of commitment to addressing the situation in North Korea at the weekend’s summit.

Absolutely brutal take down of Trump and his inability to lead. Well worth watching.

NOTE: I almost never watch Morning Joe but I could not take any more of Kellyann Conway lying to Chris Cuomo on CNN. I turned over to MSNBC and caught this and I am so glad that I did!
