These are the worst insults about Trump… said by people who will now have to work with him
They can't take back what they said now Trump is head honcho
FOR nearly a year Donald Trump was the joke candidate in America’s presidential election.
The new US president was deemed un-electable and it was a "sure thing" that Hillary Clinton would get the top job.
Donald Trump was a sharp-tongued Tweeter, insulting anyone and everyone who dared cross him. And they did, with everyone from pop stars to politicians insulting the ex-reality star.
However, in a shock turn of events, Trump is now the president of the United States, and just like how a drunken phone call can never be taken back the next morning, nor can insults said months ago by politicians who will now have to work with him.
Boris Johnson
Boris is no stranger to speaking his mind to foreign politicians - and he didn't hold with Trump either. He’s our Foreign Secretary, which now means he’ll be meeting with Trump to discuss all sorts of sensitive matters.
As much as Boris is likely to find some common ground with Trump, he’s not been shy in the past in insulting the newly elected president.
In response to Trump saying that areas in London were dangerous because of radicalisation, Boris said: “The only reason I wouldn’t visit some of New York is the real risk of meeting Donald Trump.”
Much to Boris’ annoyance, he was later mistaken for Trump on the streets of New York City.

He said: “I am genuinely worried that he could become president.
“I was in New York and some photographers were trying to take a picture of me and a girl walking down the pavement towards me and she stopped and she said, ‘Gee is that Trump?’
“It was one of the worst moments.”
Nicola Sturgeon
Scotland's First Minister has made no secret of the fact she doesn't think Trump should be president. In fact, she stripped Donald Trump's title as a Scottish business ambassador, which infuriated him.
Trump hit back and said: "I've done so much for Scotland, including building Trump International Gold Links.
"If Nicola Sturgeon were going to do this, they should have informed me prior to my investment in this £200 million investment. "
As well as the aggressive act, Sturgeon also described Trump's comments about Muslims as "obnoxious and offensive".
Theresa May
Theresa May launched a thinly veiled criticism of Donald Trump. The Prime Minister suggested that she disapproved of the way Trump had conducted his election campaign.
During a trade mission to India, May was asked whether she approved of people burning effigies of Trump at bonfire night celebrations.
She replied: “I take a simple view about the way I like to see campaigns being conducted.
“I like them to be conducted in a calm and measured way with proper consideration of the issues.”
May first criticised Trump last year after he claimed parts of London were "no-go zones" for police because of radical Islam.
The then Home Secretary said he was “plain wrong” and added: “Politicians should be very careful as we are dealing with the issue of terrorism, as we fight terrorism, we need to be bringing communities together.
“Bringing greater cohesion in communities, not seeking to divide.”
John Kerry - US Secretary
John Kerry, America's US secretary, has blasted Trump for an embarrassing and humiliating presidential campaign.
He went on popular talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live and pointed out that leaders from around the world are already complaining about Trump.
He said: “I hear about it everywhere.
“If Trump wins I think next year the White House will be sending out a lot less Christmas cards.”
He then went on to say: “I’m out of politics, and judging by the Republican field, half of them are too.”
Justin Trudeau - Canadian Prime Minister
Super liberal Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was asked whether he would condemn the hateful rhetoric of Donald Trump.
While he stressed that it was important for leaders to avoid commenting on foreign election campaigns, he said: “I don’t think it comes as a surprise to anyone that I stand firmly against the politics of division, the politics of fear, the politics of intolerance of hateful rhetoric.”
The British public
Somewhat awkwardly, half a million British citizens signed a petition calling for Trump to be banned from Britain over his pledge to stop all Muslims entering the UK.
Looks like we're going to have to pretend that never happened.
