President Donald Trump started tweeting a brutal attack against London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan before he had even landed in the UK — referring to Khan as a “stone cold loser.”
It’s certainly not uncommon for Trump to stoop to petty name calling when he doesn’t like someone. His insults of London’s mayor are a result of Khan’s recent, harsh criticism of him — Khan stated before Donald’s arrival that Trump is part of a growing global threat of far-right policies.
Oftentimes, the recipients of Trump’s scorn tend to just keep their mouths shut, probably out of concern for their well-being, their job, or their sanity. But Sadiq was not interested in taking the high road after becoming the victim of yet another Trump Twitter tantrum.
Khan’s office began by responding to Trump’s insult, telling BBC that “childish insults should be beneath the president of the United States.” But the London mayor was not finished there.
Sadiq went on to personally send out a downright withering video message to Donald Trump: “Only weak men fear strong women.”
He began his video by stating, “President Trump if you’re watching this, your values and what you stand for are the complete opposite of London’s values and the values of this country.”
“We think it’s important to safeguard the rights of all of us particularly vulnerable and the marginalized.”
Khan went on to call out Trump on his horrible job as the president of the United States: “What you’ve seen over the last few years is a rolling back of much of the progress made in previous decades, it’s really important to continue moving forward.”
The mayor came down hard on the massive rollbacks of women’s reproductive rights in the US and called on the president to “look at the history books” as a reminder of what happens when women are stripped of their rights.
“It’s really important we support women in the USA,” Khan stated.
He ended his video by holding up a sign that said, “Only weak men fear strong women.”
It’s clear that Sadiq Khan has zero time for Donald Trump’s bullshit.
