In the messages, Sir Kim said: "We don't really believe this administration is going to become substantially more normal; less dysfunctional; less unpredictable; less faction-riven; less diplomatically clumsy and inept." He questioned whether this White House "will ever look competent".
Although Sir Kim said Trump was "dazzled" by his state visit to the UK in June, the ambassador warns that his administration will remain self-interested, adding: "This is still the land of America First".
In a message sent last month, Sir Kim branded US policy on Iran as "incoherent, chaotic".
Mr Trump's publicly stated reason for calling off an airstrike against Tehran with 10 minutes to go - that it would cause 150 casualties - "doesn't stand up", Sir Kim said.
Instead, he suggested the president was "never fully on board" and did not want to reverse his campaign promise not to involve the US in foreign conflicts.
Sir Kim said it was "unlikely that US policy on Iran is going to become more coherent any time soon" because "this is a divided administration".
The leaked files date from 2017 to the present day, covering the ambassador's early impressions that media reports of "vicious infighting and chaos" in the White House were "mostly true".

Good luck Sir Kim,
Your thoughts and reasoning is why USA celebrates 4th of July. Same arguments over 300 years and more.
Didn't you like the fireworks? Neither did Cornwallis.
My regards to you and the HMS Queen Elizabeth. Ohh, what a mighty, mighty carrier you have.

He has the cheek to say that considering the mess the UK government is in.
Why? Because the world is run by sociopaths who only care about control and power!

Forgive me, but I fail to see how some hot tea sippin scone eater's opinion qualifies as news.
