What Trump has done is raised the profile further of someone who the British leaders do not like. I have no idea why he's done that, but I'm not defaulting to "he's stupid", because he's shown over the last year or so that he isn't stupid. He knows exactly what he's doing.
There's plenty of examples of him saying and doing things that hurt him politically. You can try to fanboysplain all of them as somehow being clever on some higher level, but they're not.
