U.S. President Donald Trump "is a sexual predator" and "a racist," and "it's right to say that," according to U.K. Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry.

"A state visit is an honor, and we don’t think that this president deserves an honor," Thornberry said. "He is a sexual predator, he is a racist, and it’s right to say that. And I think we need to think about when is it that our country got so scared. Why can’t we start saying things as they are?"

The shadow Cabinet minister said it's time for the U.K. to stand up to Trump.

"We’ve seen the way in which this current British government have tried to deal with Donald Trump, by fawning all over him, holding his hand, and what respect have we got as a result of it?" she said, adding that "actually he admires strength."

1. She forgot to add

"Those are his GOOD qualities" at least according to his followers and the gop. The man is a walking, talking, tweeting mistake. Clumsy oaf. His handlers should drive him around London, so he can see firsthand what people REALLY think of his fat orange arse. It is disgusting to me that a former "pay for play" escort is being treated as special by the Royal family, in the palace. Unqualified daughter/wife Ivanka and her delicate husband are top advisors to the country. What a joke.

2. Maybe Emily Thornberry should be prime minister

She added: "The reason I think that I personally am so angry at this particular American president, and I admit that I am, is that I love America and I love the values America has stood for … When you have a close friend and they’re going wrong, you are more likely to be more adamant with them, clearer with them, than with someone who has not been as close a friend and you are trying to build a relationship with them."

4. That's an interesting comment and pics. Can you please elaborate? I see the Trump women with

slumping shoulders and hands folded over one another in a submissive posture but I would like to head more of your comments if you wish to elaborate. Oh I see it, the Queen”s posture is the same.
