I don’t much care who the prime minister of the United Kingdom is at any given time or what his or her policies happen to be, save for a preference that the Brits take seriously their status as an ally and partner with the United States. The same pretty much goes for all of our key allies and other developed nations with whom America is generally friendly.
Certainly, I would favor leaders of nations like Great Britain, Germany, France and Canada being more right-leaning in terms of political philosophy, but this is a wholly unrealistic expectation. Leftism and statist doctrine have permeated the worldview of the citizens of these nations to such a degree that few would abide a leader who held to what Americans recognize as conservative or libertarian values.
In this context, I find it very curious that the mayor of a large European city would go to great and prolonged lengths to denigrate an American president.
For quite a few months now, there’s been a back-and-forth of scathing rhetoric between President Donald Trump and Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London. The catalyst for this was a series of June 2017 tweets by Trump criticizing Khan’s abysmal handling of the London Bridge terrorist attack, which occurred earlier in the year.
This gave rise to the ongoing war of words between Khan and Trump. Khan subsequently called on the British government to cancel a planned state visit by Trump and then boarded the Global Anti-Trump Express. He encouraged Londoners to protest Trump’s visit, which they did in ostentatious fashion, lending credence to the notion that despite European liberals’ disdain for so-called American hegemony, they still think of the American president as president of the world, regardless of who he may happen to be.

It’s the same alliance of marxist muslims who foisted the concept of BHO on America.
Not to sound sarcastic but the Brits would be speaking German today had the U.S. not gone there to help save that country. Most Brits DID/DO appreciate that help. Now that London has been physically overrun by “Muslimes”, that countries future is now in peril but fear not, the U.S. will still stand by their side, despite what the press will tell you.
I think they spelt "globalist" wrong.
America sucks but only UNTIL one of them needs a bail-out or help with their aggressive, greedy neighbors.
THEN we are the best people on earth!
Come on DaveA37. You know we suck and the world would be much better with out us screwing everything up. Right? Guess not. LOL!
The fact that Yurps.....and let’s be honest here, it’s pretty much always Yurps - notice you don’t see this kind of behavior from Asians for example and Trump is very much appreciated in Israel and the Gulf states and the Middle East and Eastern Europe while few in South America say anything about American politics.......the fact that it’s the Yurps who are so bitterly opposed to him tells me he is good for America and is absolutely the right guy to be president.
A good general rule of thumb is that whatever the elites in Western Europe want, you should want the exact opposite.
