Trump branded Sadiq Khan a 'stone cold loser' before he even touched down to begin his state visit on Monday.
between the pair erupted anew on Monday even before Trump touched down at London Stansted Airport, as the president launched his latest Twitter tirade against the progressive mayor." who"by all accounts has done a terrible job as Mayor of London." He was responding to Khan's suggestion that Trump is not worthy of a state visit and that the president is not even in the same class as his predecessors Barack Obama and George W. Bush.
Khan told the interviewer that he was not immediately aware of Trump's tweets because he was working, though said that when he found out he first thought it was a joke. Regardless, the mayor suggested that"name-calling" should be beneath any world leader, and expressed surprise that Trump would"behave like an 11-year-old."
"We've always had in common religious freedom, we've always had in common equality," Khan continued."And in this of all weeks, when we commemorate the D-Day landings... we should be remembering these hard-fought rights." "If he wants to have a discussion—and I'd welcome a discussion—about some of the issues we disagree about, we should do so," Khan said.
