The US president also accused Sadiq Khan, as a mayor of London, of being "foolishly nasty to the visiting US presidents". In a tweet, Donald Trump said, "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." Donald Trump also said that Sadiq Khan reminded him "very much of our very dumb and incompetent Mayor of NYC de Blasio". The only difference, Trump said, was that Sadiq Khan was "only half" de Blasio's height. "[Sadiq] Khan 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!" Donald Trump tweeted.
