Trump Begins UK Trip By Insulting London Mayor Sadiq Khan

Source: HUFF POST









06/03/2019 04:24 am ET Updated 3 hours ago

The wheels of Air Force One hadn’t even touched the ground at the airport when Donald Trump announced his arrival to the UK by tweeting about London Mayor Sadiq Khan.



Not content with comments he made last night about the mayor, the president repeated them and for good measure called him a “stone cold loser” as well.

In two tweets, he wrote: “Sadiq Khan, who by all accounts has done a terrible job as Mayor of London, has been foolishly “nasty” to the visiting President of the United States, by far the most important ally of the United Kingdom............................................................................





Khan’s spokesman responded by saying “childish insults” should be “beneath the president of the United States.”

They added: “Sadiq is representing the progressive values of London and our country, warning that Donald Trump is the most egregious example of a growing far-right threat around the globe, which is putting at risk the basic values that have defined our liberal democracies for more than 70 years.”

Eugene is right. Trump reflects badly on ALL of us.

Unbelievable. The President of the United States is attacking and bullying the mayor of the capital city of the country he is visiting. That’s like going to someone else’s house for dinner and just straight up spitting in the host’s face.

Calling the Mayor of London a “stone cold loser” so publicly and so crudely doesn’t just reflect badly on Trump. It reflects badly on all Americans. He’s on an official state visit to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day as the President of the United States.

We all know the Spineless Senate won't, but can House 'Censure' Trump for such behavior? This reflects on each and every citizen of the United States, BADLY! For a sitting (tho illegal) president to insult hosts even before arriving? Each day brings a whole new level of 'how low can he go?'

You'd think Khan was a political opponent of his and even then, his behavior would be beyond comprehension. What a total embarrassment he is.

I don't hear too much complaining from the likes of billionaires. He must be doing OK by them then. They must like being represented by a criminal, white trash, racist, misogynist and his sex worker.

When they disprove, there will be change. Until then, know Trump is what your American leaders want in a representative.
