Donald Trump brands Sadiq Khan a 'nasty person' who has 'done a terrible job' as London mayor...before Keir Starmer is forced to awkwardly step in and defend his 'friend'

Sir Keir Starmer awkwardly stepped in to defend his 'friend' Sir Sadiq Khan today after Donald Trump branded the London mayor a 'nasty person'.

The Prime Minister attempted to intervene as the US President ranted about Sir Sadiq at his Trump Turnberry golf resort in Ayrshire, Scotland.

Speaking to reporters as he and Sir Keir sat down for their meeting this afternoon, Mr Trump was asked if he would visit London during his next trip to the UK.

The US President is due to return to Britain in September for an unprecedented second state visit, following his 2019 visit during his first spell in the White House.

Mr Trump replied: 'I will. I'm not a fan of your mayor. I think he's done a terrible job, the mayor of London… a nasty person.'

At this point, Sir Keir stuck out a hand and interjected to say: 'He's a friend of mine, actually.'

But the US President continued: 'I think he's done a terrible job. But I would certainly visit London.'

Following Mr Trump's outburst, Sir Sadiq's allies swiped that - while he had won three elections to be London mayor - Mr Trump had lost the 2020 presidential election.

There has been a long-running feud between Sir Sadiq and Mr Trump, who previously called the London mayor a 'stone cold loser' in 2019.

This came after Sir Sadiq allowed a giant inflatable 'Trump baby' blimp to coincide with the US President's state visit that year.

In 2016, Mr Trump challenged Sir Sadiq to an IQ test after Mr Khan said his views on Islam were 'ignorant'.

This is one of those times when I don’t mind President Trump purposely, vigorously Rockin’ The Boat, while saying what needs to be said. “Cheerio’ Mister Mayor!”

I don’t mind calling a pig a pig, but he could better allocate his time roasting people here in our country that are screwing things up. Let the Brits reap what they sow.

The British version of Mamdani and the DNC chairman Ken Martin’s Dem Big Tent. Room for types who have no qualms about destroying their own country.

He has to buddy up to the Muslims or lose votes.

This is hilarious.

Think about if Mamdani is elected mayor of NYC.

Would Trump EVER defend defend him?

Trump is America first.

Starmer has never put his nation first.

He will defend its invasion and will facilitate its takeover as an Islamic state.

Starmer thinks that he is turning the UK into a Marxist state so that's why he's allied with the Islamists.

But you're right, once the Islamists take over. They'll install sharia. And then Marxists like Starmer will have no choice but to submit.

Khan gleefully promoted that ridiculous demonstration with the naked baby trump balloons suspended over Hyde Park the last time our President was invited to visit the Queen.
