Sulky Man-Child Insults London Mayor, Deeply Embarrasses Our Nation

By Susie Madrak — June 3, 2019

Before he even got there, Trump insulted Meghan Markle and then denied it -- even though there was audio.

Here's the tape of you calling her nasty. Enough with the lies!https://t.co/ocxuPFF0a3

This morning, he insulted the London mayor for saying Trump should not have been permitted to make a state visit:

POTUS just attacked the Mayor of London as a loser; here’s the oped from the mayor that might have helped set him off: https://t.co/Kd3ZoNyp6N

.@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......

....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. In any event, I look forward to being a great friend to the United Kingdom, and am looking very much forward to my visit. Landing now!

And finally, he complains that he can't get Fox News (will he have actual physical withdrawal?):

Just arrived in the United Kingdom. The only problem is that @CNN is the primary source of news available from the U.S. After watching it for a short while, I turned it off. All negative & so much Fake News, very bad for U.S. Big ratings drop. Why doesn’t owner @ATT do something?

London Mayor Sadiq Khan gets it right:

A spokesperson for London Mayor Sadiq Khan responds to Trump: "This is much more serious than childish insults which should be beneath the President of the U.S. Sadiq is ... warning that Trump is the most egregious example of a growing far-right threat." https://t.co/cArTxIzXrb

He is such a deep embarrassment to this country. He is generally thought to be the president of the United States, on a state visit to an important ally to observe the 75th anniversary of the Normandy D-Day landing, and all he does is whine and bully.

We can never apologize enough.
