(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.

This country does not deserve Trump and is doing its damnedest to get rid of him. It was a great run while it lasted.

As much as it pains me to have to admit it, I agree with you.

He isn’t in the same class, they are of low class. It doesn’t take much to rise above either one.

Agree with all. Trump so far outclasses those other 2 presidents that I can’t even stand to type their names.

Hell I agree with the twat. Trump is way way better than Dubya and Obama was easily the worst president in my lifetime. Trump is vying with the best - Ronald Reagan.

Oh and anything to distract from the soaring murder rate “all part of living in a big city” eh Khan?

England’s answer to Minister Louis Farrakhan?

He should be banned from visiting the US as a threat to national security.
