Donald Trump's disgusting, Islamophobic attacks against London Mayor Sadiq Khan

[Markhor]

This orange buffoon is at it again on Twitter taking potshots at London Mayor Sadiq Khan after the London attacks.

Let's call it what it is. Trump sees the religion and colour of the London Mayor's skin and tries to play the game of guilt by association making out as if he is a terrorist sympathiser.

It doesn't matter what your politics are, Sadiq Khan is trying to do his job in the most adverse of circumstances, trying to reassure Londoners at a time of tensions and working with the security services as best he can. Sadiq Khan did not cut frontline police or the intelligence service budget - the Conservative government in Westminster did.

This C grade reality TV star should take notes and learn from Khan how to lead in a time of crisis. I only shudder to think how Trump will demagogue and exploit a domestic Islamist terror attack - it'll be a Reichstag Fire moment.

I can't wait until this scumbag is impeached or forced to quit.

Click on those pictures of those statements. Tells you everything you need to know about the difference in class of these two men.

 

[Stewie]

Not a Trump supporter but nowhere in his recent tweets he is implying that Khan is a terrorist sympathizer.

Being the idiot that he is, I don't think he red the full statement from Khan carefully and just latched on to the last few words. I am sure he was drunk at the time. He tweets late night/early mornings and a lot of people think he is not in his senses when he does that.

 

[Saeed]

Trump should just shut up. It's obvious from his tweets that he couldn't care less about the victims. For him its all about opportunistic advocation for gun laws in America and travel ban.

 

[Stewie]

Yeah he points need on any opportunity shamelessly to toot his own horn or appease his voter base. He is in a perpetual state of campaigning even though the election has been long over. I think that's the only thing he is good at (campaigning, usong falsehoods and fake news) so he is just carrying on with it.

 

[Slog]

Trumps an opportunist and lacks moral but nowhere is he suggesting what you are saying. Take off the garb of victim mentality. I understand it's a tough time for British Muslims though

He doesn't drink .He hasn't touched alcohol in 15 or 20 yrs since his older brother died because of alcoholism . All his tweets are done sober... Let that sink in !!

Haha then that is even worse!

Please take off your GOP blinkers and answer whether you honestly think he'd have publicly attacked the Mayor of London like this if it was still Boris Johnson not Sadiq Khan.

Yes or no ?

He couldn't have disguised his Islamophobia any less if he tried.

He talks crap about everybody who doesn't see eye to eye with him. This goes back to the time when Sadiq called him a buffoon over his ban. Trump is vindictive, doesn't forget these things and that's why he took this opportunity to take a pot shot at the London mayor.

Even if his real intent is probably as you say, you still can't describe that tweet as Islamophobic. It's the era of the troll and Trump does it as good as anyone.

If its not Islamophobic, why doesn't he attack PM May who's ultimately responsible for the nation's security including the capital, not Sadiq Khan ?

Here are the two tweets for the benefit of all - notice the "no reason to alarm" comment is COMPLETELY taken out of context - Sadiq Khan said there was "no reason for Londoners to be alarmed at the presence of more police including armed officers" in his statement after the attacks to reassure people, NOT that there's no reason to be alarmed because of the attacks.

These are total and utter lies and he should be called out on it. Even PM May who's been a complete poodle since Trump's inauguration said the tweets were wrong.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I didn't realise he'd taken Khan's quotes out of context. Really pathetic stuff from a world leader.

 

[KingKhanWC]

This is an old fued continuing, Trump was angry when running for President after Khan basically said he's an idiot and has not wish to meet him.

Trump hated Khan because he couldn't handle the fact a Muslim is the mayor of the greatest city on the planet. Yes he's an idiot but also an Islamaphobic nutjob.

 

[Stewie]

He is very cute vindictive. He had a long died with a lot of journalists and opponents during the election as well and he just won't let it go. So this is no surprise. Racism has nothing to do with it. Trump hates everyone who doesn't agree with him or who he feels threatened by. End of story

Its called dog whistle politics. Would he be doing this if the mayor was a White Christian? And you know the answer.

So his remarks against Blacks, Mexicans and Muslims had no racist element in them?

 

[Stewie]

I was referring just to his comments on Sadie khans statement. Those don't have any evidence of racism.


Generally speaking, yes Trump is a racist pig. No question about that.

 

[Saeed]

.

He doesn't need to attack politicians of other countries, that's not his job. He needs to focus on U.S. There was a mass shooting today, 5 people died and yet Trump hasn't said a word because it doesn't serve his agenda.

Yes. If they had the same history

Trump extended an olive branch to Khan (in his own warped mind Atleast) and Khan responded by calling him a buffoon

Trump is a vindictive man-child and he would have been looking for an opening like this to attack him ever since

Isn't this a factual statement?

 

[90MPH]

Trump is honestly suffering from a mental illness.

He can't be cured because he doesn't feel he has an illness. He always shoot from the hip first and thinks later, that's if he ever does.

 

[Mamoon]

Just another day in the life of Tangerine Trump, but I don't think he has singled him out because of Islamophobia. He has an axe to grind against Sadiq Khan because of the latter's comments during the former's campaign.

 

[Robert]

What scares me more is how easily Trump is provoked. How unPresidential. I never thought I would see the day when W looks good by comparison.

 

[notAgainPlease]

Is Sadiq Khan popular ? is he doing a good job? Do Londoners look at his religion/skin ? Will he win next time?

 

[Gilly]

I notice how posters on here make racist comments about Trump and are so ingrained in the victim mentality they cant see it.

Trump absolutely rocks our collective socks and you know it.

Imagine the monotonic vibes that would have been prevalent if it was Hilary Clinton at the helm of things. There would be the usual PR, the typical fluff and zero change from presidents of years past.

Islamophobic? Is any criticism of a muslim man Islamophobic now?

Sadiq has made some stupid statements in the recent past like ' Terrorist attacks are part and parcel of living in a major city'

Its ironic that he says Trump would be 'unwelcome' in London. Sadiq, as a human rights lawyer had tried to lift a ban on Louis Farrakhan from entering UK (A Nation of Islam leader who described jews as 'blood suckers' and called Hitler a 'very great man')

Can we please quote him correctly instead of relying on right wing misquotes that have become a meme, I'm no fan of his and he wasn't my first choice in the Mayoral election but this is what he actually said:

part and parcel of living in a great, global city is you’ve got to be prepared for these things, you’ve got to be vigilant, you’ve got to support the police

Oh no doubt he's an entertaining figure. His jokes and insults have made me laugh like no other politician.

That doesn't mean the guy isn't a buffoon of the highest proportions. There is a strong theory where more than a few experts think he's suffering some kind of dementia - maybe that would explain some of his bizarre rants and tweets.

What's the criterion anyway

It seems they just hand it out

That's why they suspended it, their process was flawed. The trigger was some white supremacist being discovered with the blue tick after the recent shooting.

 

[TM Riddle]

A lot many 'twitter celebraties' with considerable following have a blue tick on their Twitter handle. Guess they seem to hand out these randomly based on no of followers one has.
