U.K. Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn fired back at President Trump for claiming that a British protest surrounding the country’s healthcare system was because their “system is going broke and not working.”

Trump had tweeted about the protest earlier Monday to argue against Democrats’ push for universal healthcare.

However, the London protest was against funding cuts to the U.K.’s healthcare system.

Trump tweeted about the protest after former UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage discussed it on "Fox & Friends," according to Buzzfeed.

1. Who was it who said, if Stephen Hawking had to rely on the British health care system,

he'd be dead by now?

To which Hawking replied, essentially, "Hey, idiots! I'm British!"

And then some wag in Britain said, "Americans are probably fooled by Hawking's accent" (meaning his speech synthesizer).

I'm not sure, but I think it was the brilliant Sarah Palin made that statement about Hawking's precarious fate under a British system.

It's what President Obama said, "It's like they're proud of their ignorance."

2. This is what corporate medicine does, they lie about the health care systems of the UK and Canada

And the people who watch FOX believe them hook line and sinker.

3. Keep hammering at Britain's "stupid" NHS, Trump.

The more he tweets about it, the more people can see comparisons.

The Brit system is far superior. Or superiour, if you like.
