Following the Islamic terror attack on the London bridge that left eight dead and dozens wounded, the out-of-touch Mayor of London attempted to tell his citizens there, “is no reason to be alarmed.”
And when Trump criticized him for his weak statement on Islamic terror, Mayor Sadiq Khan said Trump should no longer be welcome in Britain!
Trump tweeted Monday morning that Khan had offered a “pathetic excuse” and “had to think fast on his ‘no reason to be alarmed’ statement.”
Khan clearly took offense, because his response was dramatic.
When asked if Trump’s visit to Britain should be canceled, Khan told Channel 4 News late Monday that they shouldn’t be “rolling out the red carpet to the president of the USA in the circumstances where is policies go against everything we stand for.”
And this isn’t the first time Khan has attempted to block Trump’s state visit.
In February, Khan said Trump should be denied a state visit because of his “cruel” policies on immigration.
And while Khan has been outspoken about his distaste for Trump, many are coming to Trump’s defense.

Business man and political commentator Allyn Root tweeted:
If only the Mayor of London hated radical Islam and Muslim terrorism as much as he hated President Trump, London might be okay!

In an interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Donald Trump Jr. said London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan “should do something to fix the problem rather than just sit there and pretend there isn’t one.”
Trump’s middle son, Eric Trump said, “This has become the new norm. And it’s not right. And we, as a society, especially as Americans, better do something about it.”
