The tiff between Donald Trump and London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan has ramped up as the president visits the United Kingdom today. The two have been trading insults since before Trump arrived. What began with Kahn allowing the Trump baby blimp to fly over the city escalated when Trump landed and tweeted this message to the mayor:
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. He is a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in London, not me……Kahn reminds me very much of our very dumb and incompetent Mayor of NYC, de Blasio, who has also done a terrible job – only half his height.
Now Khan, along with Elle Magazine UK has recorded a video in which Elle says “Khan has a message for Trump on his arrival to London about how women ought to be treated globally.” In it Khan speaks directly to the president saying:
“If you’re watching this, your values and what you stand for are the complete opposite of London’s values and the values of this country…. What you’ve seen over the last few years in the USA is a rolling back of the reproductive rights of women.”
