Tusk was speaking after talks in Brussels with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar.
In the interview Batten said: Theresa May is either utterly and totally incompetent as a negotiator or she's the most cunning politician ever, implying everything she's done is part of an elaborate plan to make it impossible for us to leave the EU.
Tusk also tweeted the remark: "I've been wondering what that special place in hell looks like, for those who promoted #Brexit, without even a sketch of a plan how to carry it out safely."
Gerard Batten tweeted in response:
Just a further thought on this. Heaven has barriers & strict entry requirements. Hell has no borders & all are welcome. Which looks more like Hell: a country governing itself, or the EU? Answers on a postcard to Mr Tusk.
