Over the course of his presidency, Donald Trump has enjoyed a rather close, friendly relationship with his European counterpart, Boris Johnson — likely because they’re so similar in so many terrible, horrible, awful ways.
However, like most everything that Donald gets his grubby, tiny little hands on, it seems that he’s now fucked that up too.
Recently, Donald conducted a phone call with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson that many officials described as “apoplectic” that ended with the United States president “slamming the phone down” on Johnson, according to a report from the Evening Standard.
The call was borne of Boris’ defiance against Trump, which is something we all know Donnie doesn’t take well to, after he allowed Huawei, a Chinese telecoms company, to develop the 5G network in the UK, against Trump’s wishes.

One inside source spoke with the Financial Times and described the conversation between the two world leaders as “very difficult.”
Reports indicate that Johnson was “irritated” by Donald’s repeated threats and Trump’s unwillingness to actually suggest any viable alternatives.
Even Vice President Mike Pence spoke out on the subject in the wake of the tense phone call and stated that the Trump administration had been sure to make their disappointment in the UK Prime Minister’s decision “very clear to them.”
However, the official statement regarding the viral call from the United Kingdom government doesn’t exactly mirror the Trump administration’s account of things, as they stated that “the Prime Minister underlined the importance of like-minded countries working together to diversify the market and break the dominance of a small number of companies.”
The Sun newspaper has now reported that, on the heels of the disastrous phone call, Johnson has pushed back a previously planned trip to Washington that was scheduled to take place as soon as possible to March and went on to clarify that it “may be pushed back still further.”
Johnson’s spokesperson has thus far declined requests for comments regarding the phone call.
However, if Trump’s own British twin is done with his bullshit, you know we’ve got a pretty big issue at this point.
