President Trump unleashes on British leader - and it's really bad

President Trump criticized British Prime Minister Theresa May's handling of Brexit negotiations — and says a US trade deal with the UK may be now be off the table.

What did he say?

Trump noted that recent cabinet resignations in May's administration stemmed from opposition to her plan, which is seen by critics as keeping the government too closely aligned with the EU — after Brits voted to operate their own independent economy starting eight months from now.

Speaking about the prime minister's strategy, President Trump said, "I would have done it much differently. I actually told Theresa May how to do it, but she didn't listen to me."

He added, "If they do a deal like that, we would be dealing with the European Union instead of dealing with the UK, so it will probably kill the deal," and, "if they do that, then their trade deal with the US will probably not be made."

Anything else?

While insisting that he thinks May is a nice person, President Trump dismissed a report from The Washington Post that he thinks of the prime minister as "a bossy schoolteacher."

Trump told The Sun, "No, no, no, no. I never said anything bad about her. That is fake news. I think she is a nice person.  I get along with her very nicely. The Washington Post is totally fake. They are just a lobbyist for Amazon."
