(CNN)Donald Trump is not worthy of his upcoming ceremonial state visit to Britain, suggested London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Friday, saying that the US President is not "in the same class" as his predecessors.

Most US presidents have not made state visits to the UK—the exceptions are Barack Obama, who visited in 2011 and George W. Bush, who visited in 2003. "History tells us only two [US] Presidents have had a state visit," Khan said during an interview on British radio station LBC. "President Trump is not in the same class as those two." "Of course we should have a close relationship with the president of the USA, but we shouldn't be rolling out the red carpet, we shouldn't have a state banquet," Sadiq added.

That’s right.. President Trump is in a class far, far above that of Bush and Obama. They lack the compassion for people and the love of country to accomplish anything close to what President Trump has accomplished.

President Xi Jinping addressed Parliament when Khan was a member in 2015. The President of the United States is being shown hindquarters comparatively. Screw Mr. Khan and the horse he rode in on.

The Muslim Mayor? Yep

I was so shocked when I heard the voters of London actually elected a Muslim that I still haven't gotten over it.

I thought he probably would be an affable, ecumenical, easygoing type (as in Dearborn, Michigan near me where the population is mixed with longstanding residents who are Muslims,moderate GOP,increasing black people from the dying City of Detroit and aging leftover people from the Hubbard era.....

"Mayor Orville Hubbard for 36 years, from 1942 to 1978...the most outspoken segregationist north of the Mason-Dixon line. During his administration, non-whites were aggressively discouraged from residing in Dearborn, and Hubbard's longstanding campaign to "Keep Dearborn Clean" was widely understood to mean "Keep Dearborn White." "

Dearborn now has leaders who respect differences and go out of their way to allow all sides to get along. There is no "now I gotcha---I took over and you lose, suckers" as with San Francisco,NYC,AOC's district and so on.

I was shocked to hear the London mayor denounce Trump,defiantly oppose Israel and badmouth his opponents. Then the hordes of aliens came across Europe. The end may be near.

On I Love Lucy, Desi said:
“I’ll say some sweet talk things and get around Lucy and she’ll relent.”

Fred:”You sure you can?”

Desi: “Yes. Don’t you sometimes have to get around Ethel?”

Fred: “Yeah, but it’s a longer trip around.”

The classy obozo gave The Queen an iPod with recordings of his speeches didn't he? And DVDs incompatible with European standards. But President Trump? Oh No!

As for Sadiq Khan... he's nothing but an apologist for terrorists.

I’ll have to agree also; PRESIDENT TRUMP is on the order of a thousand orders of magnitude higher in both intelligence and skill than either of those drones.

Give him a break (pick any limb or his skull), he’s a raghead.
They have been porking their sisters, aunties, mothers, uncles, brothers, and fathers for so many generations that their gene pool is more like a cesspool.

That will be a tough pill for the mayor to swallow.

I hope Trump requests Pork BBQ for the dinner.

He is right about that. President Trump is head and shoulders above obama and Bush.

Trump is the antithesis of the Dhimmi Class. Obama and Bush are submitters. This country does not deserve Trump and is doing its damnedest to get rid of him. It was a great run while it lasted.
