Mind-reading mandarin


The British ambassador to the United States says Trump ditched the Iran deal because he "wanted to spite Obama" in an "act of vandalism". How does the good ambassador know this? Did Trump say this in tweet or to his officials? No, he did not. 
Trump said he was getting out because it was a bad deal. Many supported him in this assessment. 
(Me, I don't know. And I doubt anyone not intimately involved knows if it's good or bad.  And no, not even Trump). 
So the ambassador was simply reading Trump's mind. Or thinking he could. And he has the gall to call Trump's action "personal". And the MSM repeats the slur. 
And no, I'm not a Trump supporter. Just that this is dishonest reporting. Or at least ignorant. No one can read minds.
