When recently asked by the BBC why he was interested in moving to Brussels, Malloch replied: “I had in a previous career a diplomatic post where I helped bring down the Soviet Union. So maybe there’s another union that needs a little taming.”

He also said that Trump was not a fan of the EU, described it as “supranational and unelected” and attacked the European commission’s president, Jean-Claude Juncker. “Mr Juncker was a very adequate mayor I think of some city in Luxembourg, and maybe he should go back and do that again,” he said.


Oh yes! Appoint him now!

Exactly who benefits from discord between the USA and the EU?

In years to come I think that people will see Trump as the grave digger of the Republican party.

Eventually the EU and especially China! Don't tell the OP this but loss of trade with the US will just help trade between China and the EU, both are clearly in the sights of Trump as both are serious threats to American economic dominance, a few days ago Merkel was on the phone to the Chinese PM discussing closer ties on finance and science, among other things.

Trumps antics will only hasten the eventual dominance of China as the global economic power.

Somehow amongst all this Trumpetism the real powers that dictate policy have been ignored.
Their silence deafening, their intentions unknown.
Corporate power, the globalists, the owners of more wealth than most nations, have only their own interests to the fore - and those hardly pay any attention to flags, language, geography, or common folk at all.

The corporate takeover of the state with the red meat of immigration and foreigners to distract the increasingly divided plebs?

No surprise the "revolution" has started in the two most dumbed down major economies........

You seem to be missing a fundamental fact in that one union was imposed by military force, the other a product of mutual agreement.

With the latter organisation having received many applications from the UK to be allowed to join.

It is never to late to learn.....perhaps we should have listened to De gaulle's protestations and left it at that.

Ah well, I am confident that we have now righted a very bad mistake.

Nah, he's a gobshite with a fake CV

"A political scientist who wants to be Donald Trump’s ambassador to the EU appears to have embellished several details in his autobiography, including being praised by Margaret Thatcher and being “knighted” by the Queen."

Everything the man says is covered by similar riders.
Critical, damning even, but always covering his critique with 'unless' conditions are changed.

We left the EU because we could not change how it operates. Today there is hardly a nation that isn't saying it must change.
Resistance to change is futile.

Indeed, such an ignoramus with the manners of a bar room lout would be his perfect representative
If you think that choice for Ambassador is rich, Sarah Palin is rumoured to be his choice forAmbassador to Canada. This has been met here with a mixture of hilarity and incredulity. We're going to move the US embassy up to CFB Alert ( on the northern tip of Ellesmere Island) so that she can see Russia from there.

It's not looking good for the Trump and his crew is it? Some of the liberal, lefty, bleeding heart, truthmongering press here in the UK are now carrying reports that Trumps team were in regular contact with the Russians during the election!
