Jeffrey Archer, a senior member of the Conservative Party, has criticized President Donald Trump, describing him as behaving childishly and rudely. Archer, a well-known author, expressed his dismay at Trump’s behavior, stating that such conduct is unbecoming of a national leader. He highlighted Trump’s tendency to embellish and insult others, including world leaders like Emmanuel Macron. Archer emphasized the importance of decorum in leadership, drawing on his experience serving under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. He questioned Trump’s self-proclaimed greatness and compared him unfavorably to past US presidents like Jefferson and Lincoln.
The criticism comes following Trump’s controversial speech to Navy sailors, where he boasted about his achievements and claimed he foresaw the 9/11 attacks. Trump’s remarks during the speech, including his reference to Osama bin Laden, received scrutiny. Despite Trump’s claims, Archer and others remain skeptical of the President’s credibility and leadership style.
