The co-manager for Donald Trump’s presidential election campaign has called Lord Mandelson an “absolute moron” – as the peer was officially announced as the next UK ambassador to the US.
The Labour grandee, who served in Sir Tony Blair and Gordon Brown’s cabinets, will become the UK’s top diplomat in Washington as president-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House in January.
In a post on X, Chris LaCivita linked to an article in The Daily Telegraph which reported on Lord Mandelson describing Mr Trump as “a danger to the world”.
The peer also described Mr Trump as “little short of a white nationalist and racist” during an interview with an Italian journalist in 2019, according to the newspaper.
In the post on X, Mr LaCivita said: “This UK govt is special replace a professional universally respected Ambo with an absolute moron – he should stay home! SAD!”
He added: “Mandelson described Trump as a danger to the world and ‘little short of a white nationalist’.”
It comes as Sir Keir Starmer confirmed the appointment of Lord Mandelson to the post.
Well if he truly is a moron, he’ll fit in with the yanks really well
He’s not just a moron, he’s an ex-associate of Epstein and a supporter of the Iraq War. A truly evil man.
I agree, a nasty little man. His opinion of Trump seems reasonable though.
Didn’t Starmer call Trump a white supremacist or something?
Therefore confirming an ideal pick for ambassador to the United States. He will be able to speak their language.
Being called a moron by anyone in trumps office is high praise indeed. I would wear it as a badge of honour
Oh Fuck off America. You’re less than 5 years from a civil war and nobody cares what you have to say anymore.
Imagine Trump being your boss and thinking Mandleson is a moron, I mean he’s many things but he’s not stupid, the orange one on the other hand…
Didn’t Trumps VP refer to him as “America’s hitler”?
So much for all the smarties in the announcement thread going on about how very *tactical* and *realpolitik* it was that we made a corrupt, dodgy shit our US ambassador because he’d be popular with Trump’s administration over their mutual friendship with paedophile sex traffickers or whatever it was.
Just because they’ve elected an unsuitable shitsack doesn’t mean we need to start employing them for his sake.
Mandelson is a truly horrible person. The fact that Keir has rewarded him speaks volumes as to the sort of person Keir is.
We’re in for a horrible few years.
Doesn’t really matter what any of Trump’s staff think about it.
Because as soon as someone starts fawning to Trump, he laps it up. And Peter Mandelson is an absolute expert at sucking up to unpleasant people.
It’s about time we used this dubious skill set to our advantage.
The irony of anybody being on trumps side calling someone a moron is hilarious. It’s like Donald trump calling someone a cunt.
To be fair, Mandelson is one of the few politicians with the same level of integrity as Trump. Made for one another.
Working with trump provides first hand experience of clowns and morons
Madelson is definitely no moron… he’s definitely not going to bend the knee to America and can not be bought like someone else who has been over there an awful lot recently… thats what they mean by “moron”.
Now the guy definitely has some sleeze to his name. I personally wouldn’t pick him… but he’s definitely qualified.
In the thread the other day supporters of the government were insisting that Mandelson’s sleaze and corruption would endear him with Trump and make him a great pick.
In this thread supporters of the government are insisting that Trump thinking Mandelson is a moron is actually a complement and makes him a great pick.
I feel like I’m getting whiplash!

Mandelson isn’t a moron. I would accept “Scheming prick”.
If anybody is an expert on morons, it’d be Trump’s campaign co-manager
Mandelson seems like a dreadful choice for this role.
Heartbreaking: the worst person you know just made an great point.

Trump campaign manager says something to attract headlines and pour derision on a threat
Oh, i thought they would like Mandelson, corrupt, scheming and right wing. They even share an interesting mutual friend, a certain somebody who owned an Island and definitely killed himself.
I don’t know about “moron”, but he is a thoroughly unpleasant man – always has been and probably always will be.
The UK is quickly becoming filled with the political swamp creatures despised by the new administration
“Campaign co manager”???
Sounds like a complete random said this 😂
‘The best’, ‘the greatest’, singing straight from the Trump hymn sheet…
There are a lot of things I would call Peter Mandelson. Moron is not one of them.
Someone who works for Trump calls someone else a moron?
Satire wants a refund.
Mandelson is a lot of things, but stupid is not one of them.
I suspect this American may find himself outmanoeuvred soon enough.
I think there are many things you can level against Mandelson, being a moron isn’t one of them.
But he’s our moron. The average UK moron is still better than a US moron.
It is actually exhausting having to cosy up to the US. We never liked them at the best of times and now they’re just getting more and more insufferable. As someone who works solely with Americans too I get first hand experience of their entitlement, perceived exceptionalism and entitlement every god damned day. Awful country full of mostly awful people.
A guy who has associated himself with a man who got almost all of his previous associates jailed calls someone else a moron?
Seems sensible to choose someone that will blend in with the new American government. That can moron the fuck out of each other.
Well, he’s probably had experience of meeting them at rallies.
He should be nowhere near politics and the government – he was shit when he was part of the 97 Labour Party under Blair.
The World: Trump has been elected again, Jesus Christ, What do we do?
The Brits: (*evil fingers*)
We send him… Mandelson.
He’s only saying what everyone else thinks going back to the trash of Blair and Brown the war criminals.
Close chum of Jeffrey Epstein and Mandy even stayed on all the places where the SA took place- Mandy even remained close with Epstein after he was convicted of human trafficking.
Yet no investigation into “Petey” and his close relationship with the world’s most infamous nonce?
You can judge someone by the company they keep.
Oooof they should really be careful about how they talk about their closest ally. They don’t want to sour our special relationship, surely?
This the swift boat guy? He’s a proven liar and scumbag
Who gives a shit what this idiot thinks.
