Calls London Mayor Sadiq Khan a 'stone cold loser' in a tweet as Air Force One lands for UK state vi

Minutes before Air Force One touched down near London to begin a three-day state visit, Trump posted tweets attacking London Mayor Sadiq Khan, writing that Khan "by all accounts has done a terrible job as Mayor of London" and "is a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in London, not me." He went on to compare Khan to New York Mayor Bill de Blasio as "very dumb and incompetent" and mocked Khan's height, saying he was "only half his height." Khan, who had earlier said Trump should not have been offered a state visit, responded that the remarks were "the sort of behavior I expect from an 11-year-old." The attack followed a similar public feud between the two after the 2017 London Bridge terror attack.

"@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." Quote verified against source
