Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1st June, 2019

1st June, 2019.

Yep.

It’s official.

The US president’s an undiplomatic twat!

As you’re aware, President Trump due to visit the UK: to mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

He’s been interviewed by The Sun in the run-up to the visit.

Where he backs Boris Johnson as the next Tory party leader.

Frankly?

I’m … 

Well, let’s just say I don’t like blatant interference with the government of the UK, by the government of the US.

Undiplomatic?   Is possibly mild.
