Donald Trump 'tired of Theresa May's school mistress tone' and will not hold talks with her at G7

Source: telegraph uk

Donald Trump has grown frustrated with Theresa May’s “school mistress” tone, allies of the president have told The Telegraph, as it emerged the pair will not hold formal talks at the G7 summit in Canada.

The US president is said to bristle at the Prime Minister’s approach during phone calls, with Mrs May quick to get into policy details rather than wider conversation.

One senior US diplomat said Mr Trump had expressed annoyance at Mrs May’s frequent demands, which are seen as taking advantage of the UK-US relationship.

Another long-time friend of the president revealed he had privately complained of how Mrs May calls him out in public when he is deemed to have stepped out of line.

The comments made to this newspaper chime with a report in The Washington Post on Thursday that Mr Trump sees Mrs May as too politically correct after she rebuked him over claims that parts of London have become “no-go” areas.

Asked about Mr Trump’s reported view of her before the summit in Quebec, Mrs Mrs said: “I just get on and make sure that I’m delivering. That’s the job of any politician.”

Facing a smart woman with power clearly scares him.

p.s., I should have said, "whores, mothers, or Ivanka."

He clearly has issues with female authority figures, school mistress types. When Hillary accused him of being Putin's puppet, he went all wobbly and he barely acknowledged Angela Merkel. He prefers paper doll women.

What do you think would happen if you or I, an ordinary person an ordinary job, refused to work with somebody because he/she made us uncomfortable?

What a pathetic excuse for a POTUS.

Theresa May sees herself as the reincarnation of Margaret Thatcher and thought she could get everything she wanted to see happen in the UK by kissing up to Herr Orange after he was elected. How's that working out for ya, May?

Thanks to her governments flagship (and suicidal) policy of leaving the EU, which will make Britain far too dependent on American patronage.

However, as shown at the last general election Theresa May can have something of a tin ear.

Find it hard to like a Tory PM (especially a Brexit supporter), but can respect her situation.

Funny how the Dotard's presence elevates those around him.

eta: Saw an article from another UK source where she defends him for not meeting.

My opinion of Tories is restored.

If they aren't on their knees in front of him, he hates them because he fears they are laughing at him and is mad they aren't worshipping him. He is also aware that they are smarter and work harder than him and that pisses him off too.

If you weren't acting like a spoiled little brat, maybe she wouldn't use that "tone" with you. Your reaction to her proves that you are a spoiled little loser brat. Why don't you stay home and play with your action figure dolls? That's more your speed. Face it, Little Donnie, she knows exactly who you are. As does the rest of the world..

First, he's too stupid to discuss policy so that's the thing that offends him. Second, if I had to speak with him I'd want to get right down to business too. The least amount of time spent with him the better. Third, she has nothing in common with him so what broader topics do they have to discuss? He's not going to discuss how Melania or Barron are doing. Neither of them are him so he doesn't give a shit.

There is only so much "me, me, me" talk she can listen to before becoming physically ill.
