London Mayor 'has more important things to do' than respond to Trump tweet

Source: CNN

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has more important things to do than to respond to a critical tweet from US President Donald Trump, which a spokesman for Khan called “ill-informed.”

“The Mayor is busy working with the police, emergency services, and the government to coordinate the response to this horrific and cowardly terrorist attack and provide leadership and reassurance to Londoners and visitors to our city. He has more important things to do than respond to Donald Trump's ill-informed tweet that deliberately takes out of context his remarks urging Londoners not to be alarmed when they saw more police - including armed officers - on the streets," Khan’s spokesman said in a statement.

After all, the ____ in the White House has certainly shown what little regard he has for you overall. Don't even bother being courteous as he doesn't understand that social niciety.

In light of the disastrous NATO and G7 gatherings, and especially after this incident, the one in Westminster and the one in Manchester, the U.K. should not have to endure the disgraceful and disgusting behavior of Drumpf, having added insult to injury.

Haven't they suffered enough already?

He is indeed a weapon of mass destruction, on the political, environmental and economic fronts. One that has apparently fallen into the hands of the Russians.

Serious shit, with global consequences.

When Americans have to look to Europe for leadership, be it Macron, Merkel or Khan. Because our own leadership is MIA. The Trumpsters embarrass not only the United States but the world at large. DT's tweets are his enduring legacy, a testimony to his ignorance and spite.
