And just which diplomatic skills does Johnson bring to this post?
Trump: I cant help it if all my friends are Billionaire and men and (mostly) white.
He’s a billionaire, so that’s more than enough. More so than owning a minor league football team.
This has always been a big political plum, so maybe Johnson would not be the worst ambassador to the Court of St. James ever. Maybe the 2nd worst.
(Actually, the worst might have been Joe Kennedy, appointed by FDR, who hated the Brits and flirted with the Nazis.)
Heh-heh, “Woody.”
Heh-heh, “Johnson.”
Which was odd as there were a fair number of royals and Tories who liked Hitler as well. You would have thought Joe was in good company, even if he was Irish-American.
Because “Woody Johnson” is exactly the sort of name Britons would never make fun of.
I see you swim in the same juvenile muck as do I sometime.
He does a spot on fake British accent, guv’nah.
And now I have a new most hated NFL team!
I’ll be rooting for an 0-16 season for the NY Jets
You mean like the former King Edward VIII who abdicated in 1936 and went to live in France then spent the entire war working for the Nazis? He was a personal friend of Hitler and thought he was a great guy.
Oh Good Lord, could there be a bigger rightwing billionaire than the British crown, all photogenic Princes aside???
When will Bobby Knight be appointed ambassador to China. We’re going to need a cool, experienced hand there. Right?
Trump’s not letting that bone spur stand in the way of his wreath laying…
Never heard of the guy.
Pads or no pads finally the question may be answered then the world can live in peace.
Well, if he does half as good a job as Ambassador as he did as owner of the Jets, we are really fucked.
Isn’t the much ballyhooed relationship with the post-Brexit UK supposed to be second only to Putin? Yet even they get someone like this. I guess the bottom of the barrel is getting a thorough exfoliation, at least.

That noise you hear coming from New Jersey and Long Island are Jets fans seeing light at the end of the tunnel.
