Boris, Trump and smelling of roses

7/22/2019

It’s all going to be alright, we don’t have to worry. Donald Trump thinks Boris would make a good PM, he even likes him apparently.

There was me feeling decidedly nervous (see earlier post) about Johnson getting the top job … and there was no need. Silly me.

We haven’t heard from Putin yet, but he’s probably okay with the imminent appointment too. He and Trump are buddies, or so we are told.

On Tuesday we will know for sure, but it looks pretty clear that Boris is going to get the gig.

Maybe having a privileged, self-obsessed, womaniser with wild blond hair and historic connections to the German aristocracy and our Royal Family, is just what the UK needs in order to achieve a decent Brexit outcome.

But then again…

Sir Alan Duncan (currently of the Foreign Office) previously stated Mr Johnson was "the last person on Earth who would make any progress in negotiating with the EU at the moment." And that he described himself as Johnson’s "pooper scooper" at the FO, clearing up mess Boris had created.

I am no fan of the Guardian, but this old piece, from a chap with a decent insight into Boris’ character, is a thoroughly entertaining read.

Max Hastings, who used to be the editor of the Telegraph (and Boris’ employer), had the following to say in October 2012:

“He is not a man to believe in, to trust or respect, save as a superlative exhibitionist. He is bereft of judgment, loyalty and discretion. Only in the star-crazed, frivolous Britain of the 21st century could such a man have risen so high, and he is utterly unfit to go higher still.” 

But even discounting the significant value of Trump’s personal endorsement, Johnson’s farts must smell of roses because it seems that Higher Still is where Boris is heading.
