Critics slam 'embarrassing' Mayor Khan for feuding with Trump while London faces rising knife deaths

London Mayor Sadiq Khan slammed President Trump’s criticism of him as “preposterous” after allowing a giant Trump balloon at anti-Trump protests in London, but critics question whether the mayor should be devoting his energy to tackling crime rather than “embarrassing” the city in front of the whole world.

Trump reignited the feud with Khan in an interview with The Sun newspaper, saying the Mayor of London “has done a terrible job” when it comes to terrorism and crime. “I think he has done a bad job on crime, if you look, all of the horrible things going on there, with all of the crime that is being brought in,” he said.

Khan called the comments “preposterous” on the BBC’s Today program on Friday, claiming that violent crime has risen across the country and London has been forced to tackle the issue with a smaller police budget.

But crime in London persists on epidemic proportions as murder rate soared by 44 percent, with 157 homicides committed compared to 109 the previous year, according to official statistics from the Metropolitan Police.

A former ambassador to the U.S., Sir Christopher Meyer, was the victim of a violent attack against him at a central London underground station this week. “I’m absolutely shocked by the level of the brutality,” his wife, Baroness Meyer, told the Times of London. “They really beat him. It’s appalling — like something you would see in a war zone....

The enemy's inside the gates.

And one of them is mayor.

This sounds like a very good campaign message for a potential opponent.

Promotes and spends money to provide security for the anti-Trump gang that protested at the American Embassy, but then shuts down a planned pro-Trump rally at the American Embassy today.

Just your run-of-the-mill Islamic terrorist supporter - now mayor of London. Great job London!

Just like the liberals shafted us with Obama. Twice.

Easier to slam and humiliate our president than to clean up your mess in London. Cops too busy arresting people for posting anti-muzzie stuff on social networks.

President Trump calls it like he sees it. Generally it tends to be quite spot on. It;s better to laugh at the pokes...and not take it to serious. Rule 1.... Stand up straight, pull your shoulders back, there is a lot of chaos all around....a lot in London. Cheers for Trump.

It’s no mess. Things are going exactly according to Muslim plan. Eventually the Royal family will be no more and threads will be on pikes around Windsor Castle.That IS the end game.

Yes. Trump is a New Yorker. One must understand his sense of humor and his take no prisoners style. He’s the kind of American that used to be everywhere.

One of the ugliest features on the road to serfdom is the loss of a sense of humor combined with a facility to lie without compunction.

violent crime has risen across the country

Yep, it has been growing as the immigrant population has been growing. A direct correlation between the 2 events.

What did they expect from Khan? Competency? Supporting the police? Acting like the mayor for ALL PEOPLE, not just the Moslems and the leftists?

Capt. Kirk had him figured out many years ago when he yelled in anger, “KHANNNNNN!
