President Trump criticized London Mayor Sadiq Khan for deprecating the president’s round of golf over the weekend.
The incompetent Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, was bothered that I played a very fast round of golf yesterday. Many Pols exercise for hours, or travel for weeks. Me, I run through one of my courses (very inexpensive). President Obama would fly to Hawaii. Kahn should focus on….

“The incompetent Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, was bothered that I played a very fast round of golf yesterday. Many Pols exercise for hours, or travel for weeks. Me, I run through one of my courses (very inexpensive). President Obama would fly to Hawaii,” Trump wrote on Twitter on Tuesday.
“Khan should focus on ‘knife crime,’ which is totally out of control in London. People are afraid to even walk the streets. He is a terrible mayor who should stay out of our business!” Trump continued.

The president confronted Khan after Khan mocked him for pulling out of the commemoration of the start of WW II in Warsaw because he was “clearly busy dealing with a hurricane out on the golf course,” Khan told Politico London Playbook.
President Trump and Mayor Khan have been butting heads on Twitter ever since Trump took office.
The Epoch Times previously reported on another clash between the two.
Trump Slams Sadiq Khan: ‘Stone Cold Loser Who Should Focus on Crime in London’
President Donald Trump took time to criticize the mayor of London on June 3 as he was landing for his official state visit to the United Kingdom.
.@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. He is a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in London, not me……

“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,” Trump wrote in a missive on Twitter.
“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,” he said.
Trump’s comments came after Khan launched the war of words, telling Sky News that his country was wrong to “roll out the red carpet” for Trump’s visit.
“I think it’s important for us to have good relations with our closest ally, and important for our allies to be here for the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings; we’ve got to have good relations with the U.S.—but I don’t think we should be rolling out the red carpet,” Khan said.
