The British ambassador in Washington, Kim Darroch, resigned this morning. In a letter to his boss in London, Darroch said he could no longer perform his duties after he was slammed by Donald Trump. Darroch was the author of a confidential memo that was critical of Trump and his administration, which was leaked to a London tabloid. How much of this is beyond the norm?
