Mandelson grovels to Trump on Fox News

Oh Mandy. It’s now nine days since Donald Trump was elected – and our new man in Washington is still yet to get final sign-off. Peter Mandelson was named as the new UK Ambassador to the US last month in a move that did not go down well with all in Trumpworld. Mandelson has made various insulting comments about the new President, calling him everything from a ‘danger to the world’ to a ‘little short of a white nationalist and racist’. Trump’s campaign manager Chris LaCivita spoke for others when he dubbed Mandelson an ‘absolute moron.’ Ouch….

Now, in a belated effort to suck up to Trump, the Prince of Darkness has prostrated himself on the President’s favourite TV channel. Mandelson gave an interview to Fox News this morning, in which he claimed – surprise, surprise! – that his views of Trump have now shifted. Gee, what could have prompted that? ‘I consider my remarks about President Trump as ill-judged and wrong,’ he grovelled.
