Renowned Conservative figure Jeffrey Archer has criticized President Donald Trump, labeling him as “completely mad” and likening his behavior to that of a child. The 85-year-old former deputy chairman of the Conservative Party expressed his disapproval of Trump’s conduct, describing him as “incredibly rude” and immature in his actions. Lord Archer of Weston-Super-Mare, a bestselling author with a global readership, highlighted Trump’s tendency to exaggerate and confuse issues, stating that the President’s behavior has become increasingly erratic.
Lord Archer, who possesses a substantial fortune, went on to criticize Trump’s disrespectful behavior towards other world leaders, citing his taunting of French President Emmanuel Macron as an example of lacking proper decorum. Drawing from his experience serving under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Lord Archer emphasized the importance of dignified leadership and condemned Trump’s disruptive approach.
Expressing bewilderment at Trump’s unwavering support despite his controversial statements, Lord Archer questioned the public’s perception of the President. He pointed out Trump’s habit of making grandiose claims about his presidency, contrasting him with historical figures like Jefferson, Lincoln, and Washington. The comments from Lord Archer come in the wake of Trump’s recent speech to Navy sailors, where he made contentious remarks about his predecessors and his own achievements, including claims about predicting 9/11 and Osama bin Laden’s activities.
