Trump calls London mayor "stone cold loser" as he lands in the UK

STANSTED, England (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump renewed his verbal attacks on London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Monday, calling him a "stone-cold loser" after the mayor criticized the British government's decision to offer a state visit to Trump.

 

"@SadiqKhan, 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," Trump said on Twitter shortly before Air Force One landed at Stansted Airport near London.

 

"He is a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in London, not me."

I am 100% with Sadiq Khan on this , I just cant imagine why they would give a state visit to Trump when pretty much all he does is give them s##t on twitter and from that tiny little lying mouth of his .

[BTB1958]

Good for Trump.  Calling it like the rest of the world sees it.  . Unless your a socialist liberal. Than free food and free everything for all immigrants.  

[thaibeachlovers]

I agree with Trump. Khan, IMO is a loser that has made a shambles of London while jetting off doing something not involved with running London.

Eg, on a recent visit to London, there was not a single public toilet that I could find in the most heavily touristed area of the city. Tourists were having to pay several pounds to use toilets in Starbucks or McDonalds etc. I used to live in London and there were several available in the same area then.

Well, Trump (once again)shows his complete lack of understanding of diplomacy, decorum or common good manners.

Nice one Trump, London has really gone down the pan since he took over, voted in by his fellow Muslim's and the now majority immigrants who live there.

[Somtamnication]

This beauty knows no bounds with his tongue (and fingers). What a shame, America!!!

When I lived there, there were more immigrants living in London than English. In the hospitals that I worked in, English staff were almost non existent.

[HeyHeyHey]

Trump is not a muslim, so no hugs and kisses from Khan

[toenail]

Narcissistic Trump is  such a worldly “statesman”. ( sarcasm btw) People who do admire Trump have similar traits: a racist,  uneducated, and cannot accept change. 

[OneMoreFarang]

"How to win friends and influence people." Maybe Trump should read it one of these days.

Are you suggesting Sadiq Khan has had the public toilets removed deliberately ? If so you would be a good partner for Trump with his psychotic behaviour. ????

Of course the toilets were removed deliberately, presumably because they don't want to pay to look after them.

As to whomever ordered it, the buck stops with him. He's in charge, ergo it's his responsibility.

[ThaiPauly]

I can't stand Khan and what he has done to the city I grew up in, if it wasn't for the historic places in London you would not recognise it for the same place it was 50 years ago.

 

I will be glad when Khan is voted OUT, so good on yer Don for telling it like it is

[BTB1958]

So you want him to be polite with the most stupid.  Not the way we do things  in America.  Get use to it.  America first.  We are tired of savng the world, bad trade deals  and laying down on foreign policies to make the socialist happy.  Every day I see a liberal cry I know he is doing the job we voted him to do.

"President Donald Trump insisted on Sunday that he never called Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex and the wife of Britain's Prince Harry, "nasty", despite an audio recording of an interview showing he did.

Key points:

Mr Trump said the comment was 'fake news' and demanded an apology from media outlets

The audio recording published by The Sun reveals Mr Trump said "she was nasty"

The comments come ahead of Mr Trump's state visit to the UK this week

The president was discussing Meghan in a recent interview with Britain's The Sun newspaper in the run-up to his state visit to the UK on Monday.

"I never called Meghan Markle 'nasty.' Made up by the Fake News Media, and they got caught cold!" Mr Trump tweeted.

Mr Trump, in fact, did use the word "nasty" to describe Meghan when asked about her comments about him during the 2016 campaign."

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-06-03/trump-denies-calling-meghan-markle-nasty-in-recording/11172220

 

So much for fake news, and which liar got "caught cold". There is the possibility that he believes his own lies, caused by Alzheimer's disease short term memory loss.

This mayor is a stone cold loser.... showing no respect to a visiting u.s. pres from the beginning.  This arrogant pos mayor deserves to be out on his ass.  Many of the posters here must agree as they have long left London.

Respect is  earned...Trump does not deserve one iota !

[PJPom]

If one takes note of the comments from the UK residents Trump’s remarks seem to be in line with most of them.

The position of Lord Mayor of London was extremely important and prestigious but today seems to have descended to a political prize to be used to push questionable agendas.

don't worry, BoJo will still get the full red carpet,

Trump is invited to the UK and once again demonstrates his total lack of class by attacking his hosts with his verbal diarrhea. What a slimy low life this person is with his constant shooting from the hip without putting his small brain in gear.

Total nonsense. The census proves you wrong.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_London#Foreign-born_population

 

Sure plenty of foreigners working in NHS, but facts concerning the number of foreigners as opposed to hyperbole needs to be highlighted...

 

In total, around 139,000 of the 1.2 million NHS employees are foreign nationals – equating to one in eight (12.5 per cent).

Your other comments can also be easily refuted - enough of the fake news.

Yep. It's basically a campaign trip anyway. Paid by the taxpayers.

The Donald tells it like it is again. The Nazim of Londonistan is a failure at running our once glorious capital. A shorty too, who is not up to playing with the big boys of national or international politics.

I would love to know which part of London you are talking about, and which hospital, and which time frame.

Some time ago, Trump increased the tariff by 5% on Mexico. Mexico’s response to Trump is not friendly. Now Trump is constantly exerting pressure on neighboring countries and creating contradictions, which will surely make the American people lose confidence in Trump.

The sooner the slimy little toad Khan is gone the better.
