Sadiq Khan, the far-left Mayor of London, is once again stirring the pot by accusing Donald Trump of targeting him due to his “ethnicity” and Muslim faith. This is just another attempt by a Labour politician to reignite a feud with a leader who truly put America first.
As Breitbart News reports, Khan has launched numerous attacks on Trump, labeling him as a “racist,” “sexist,” and “homophobe.” It’s clear that Khan doesn’t understand the importance of a special relationship with an ally like the United States, preferring instead to sling insults.
Sadiq Khan doubles down on his row with Donald Trump by claiming he dislikes the Mayor because of his skin colour. Maybe it’s the fact you allowed an insulting blimp to be hoisted above London during his special state visit?

Khan even had the audacity to say, “If my best mate was a racist, or a sexist or a homophobe, I’d call him out and I’d explain to him why those views are wrong.”
This war of words began during Trump’s presidency when Khan, in typical Labour fashion, opposed a U.S. travel ban aimed at protecting American citizens from potential threats.
Khan went so far as to demand that Trump be refused a state visit to the UK in 2017 when he met with Queen Elizabeth II. What nerve!
Khan argued that Trump shouldn’t receive the usual diplomatic courtesies because he allegedly used “xenophobia, racism, and ‘otherness’ as an electoral tactic,” claiming absurdly that Trump only cared about “White America.”
Trump rightfully pointed out Khan’s failures as mayor, especially regarding terrorism, calling him a “stone cold loser” and “very dumb.”
In retaliation, Khan allowed an obscene blimp of Trump dressed as a baby to fly over protests in Parliament Square during Trump’s 2018 visit to Britain.

Really? The man who authorized this is crying about being attacked now?? SPARE ME.
Funded by nearly £17,000 in crowdfunding donations, this disgraceful stunt was described by its creators as an “obscene mutant clone of the president.”
A spokesman for Khan stated that “The Mayor supports the right to peaceful protest and understands that this can take many different forms,” according to Sky News.
More recently, Khan claimed that Trump’s return to the White House could threaten his own safety.
Sadiq Khan thinks @realDonaldTrump is singling him out 🙄- as if Donald could be bothered with him. As for calling him a racist just pack it in Sadiq. We are sick to death of the term ‘racist’ being thrown at all of us on the right. https://t.co/wjCVlKuqfo

In a podcast recorded before Trump’s re-election on November 5 and released earlier this week, Khan—son of Pakistani immigrants—claimed Trump’s criticism was “incredibly personal.”
He even suggested, “If I wasn’t this colour skin, if I wasn’t a practising Muslim, he wouldn’t have come for me,” according to the High Performance podcast reported by the Daily Mirror reports.
Despite all this drama, Khan said he would be willing to “show him around” London if Trump visits the UK during his next term. What hypocrisy!
