Trump state visit latest: President attacks Sadiq Khan on flight home - and says he got him blocked from state banquet

Donald Trump has been speaking to reporters on his flight home on Air Force One, and says he asked that Sir Sadiq Khan not be invited to the state banquet last night.

"I didn't want him there," he says. "I asked that he not be there.

"I think the mayor of London Khan is among the worst mayors in the world, and we have some bad ones..."

Donald Trump's comments on Sir Sadiq Khan mark the latest spat in a long-running feud between the pair going back nearly a decade.

On the eve of the president's state visit, Khan wrote in The Guardian that Trump has "perhaps done the most to fan the flames of divisive, far-right politics in recent years".

That followed Trump's comments during his summer visit to Scotland that the London mayor was a "nasty person" who has done a "terrible job".

I doubt that he was invited in the first place. If so, Trump would have embarrassed the Brits.

Sort of like the Bruce movie Fist of Fury sign about dogs but this time No Dogs or Traitorous Muslim Mayors Allowed.

Don’t you love Trump? That is why he is President. Just tells it like it is without all the politically-correct mumbo-jumbo.

Refreshing.

Hope we can get his like soon after he’s gone.

I don’t think politician JD Vance is that guy - too full of “polite” and “appropriate”. I think Vance is fodder for the Left.

Khan was on AF1?

Did President Trump hurt him in the “attack”?

I hope he’s OK.

“I hope he’s OK.”

Why are you wishing this socialist Muslim well?

“No Dogs or Traitorous Muslim Mayors Allowed.”

Dogs welcome, Muslim Mayors keep out.

Why in the world do you think he was on AF1? Trump was flying home on AF1 and commenting about the dinner. Not sure where you got that idea

[”I didn’t want him there,” he says. “I asked that he not be there.

President Trump is correct. As usual.

I think poster nesnah was joking.
The headline does say ‘President attacks Sadiq Khan on the flight home.”

Sorry to say, you'll have to place “/ s a r c” or some such in further comments, as the literalists are having a difficult time these days.

Trump didn’t have to go that far.

All he had to is make sure something wrapped in bacon was on the menu.

How the hell did Khan become a Sir? Did Queen Elizabeth actually knight that filthy Islamist Marxist? If anything, Khan should be called a Turd. He would never have been accepted by the Templars. /spit

Read the headline. That’s the point.

Go see your doctor about that jerk you have in your knee.

He’s clearly making fun of the badly written headline.

Ask the doctor to check on your sense of humor while you’re there.
