The US president called for a new London mayor after a spate of stabbings

After a violent 24 hours in London marked by a spate of stabbings, US President Donald Trump described the city's mayor Sadiq Khan as a "disaster" as he re-ignited their feud.
In doing so, the US president retweeted the right-wing, anti-Islam campaigner Katie Hopkins as he told his 61 million followers that Mr Khan was a national disgrace who is destroying the City of London".
. . .
A highly controversial figure, Ms Hopkins has previously claimed that multiculturalism is causing crime to surge in the UK. She believes a Muslim Mafia controls parts of the country. Mr Trump has said parts of London were no-go-areas for police because of the Muslim population.
. . .
Mr Khan has yet to respond directly to Mr Trump, tweeting on Sunday that Londons police have been working tirelessly all over the weekend to help keep our city safe and uphold the law, after a number of arrests were made.
He received support from his party leader, Labours Jeremy Corbyn who said it was absolutely awful to see the US president using the tragedy of people being murdered to attack the Mayor.

(9,426 posts)is a national disgrace. Spending taxpayer money like there is no tomorrow. When will he pay the bills for security owed to several cities, plus the inauguration tally? He is a total disaster of a "leader" He is leading the US into complete bankruptcy. Mayor Khan was fairly elected, tRump was not. If tRump feels that way, he should stay away from London. The Londoners would LOVE that!

I also think she is stupid. On one program she was criticizing people who name their children after geographical places. The host pointed out that Hopkins named her own daughter India. Hopkins said that was different because India is an old name. Lol!
