US ambassador shrugs off Ed Miliband’s jibes at ‘idiot’ Trump
U.S. Ambassador to the U.K. Warren Stephens dismissed past criticisms of Donald Trump by Britain’s Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband, stating that Miliband’s views from 2016 may have changed. Miliband had previously called Trump a 'racist, misogynistic self-confessed groper' and said he 'lowered the bar for idiocy,' but Stephens suggested such remarks are outdated. The ambassador also noted that Miliband’s past comments are 'irrelevant' now, while acknowledging that people often reconsider past statements.
