Sadiq Khan Hits Back At Trump, Calling Him 'Six-Foot-Three Child'

Source: The Guardian

Comment is latest retort in long-running feud after US president called London mayor a ‘loser’. Sadiq Khan has described Donald Trump as a “six-foot-three child in the White House” in an ongoing war of words with the US president.

The mayor of London made the comment in a room of teachers at the Together for Education event at Central Hall in Westminster on Saturday.Khan joked that he had made sure to switch his phone off. He said: “For those of you that have your phones on, if somebody starts tweeting about me – a 6ft 3 child in the White House – can you let me know?”

It is the latest insult to be fired between Khan and Trump, in what has been a long-running feud. The US president called Khan a “stone cold loser”, mocked his height and misspelt his name in a tweet sent as he touched down in Air Force One for a state visit to the UK earlier this month.

The US president previously described London’s mayor as a “disaster” and called him a “national disgrace who is destroying the city of London”, slamming Khan’s record on crime in the capital. Earlier this week, Tory leadership hopeful Jeremy Hunt said he fully agreed with Trump’s assessment of Khan’s knife-crime record. Khan described Trump as a “poster boy for racists” and remarked that the president appears “obsessed” with him.

Under his “acting administratation”? He doesn’t have any real cabinet members anymore. The word acting precedes all of their titles.

Khan was elected fair and square by the citizens. tRump lost to Hillary by 3 million votes. Khan is well educated. tRump is dumb as a sack of hammers. Khan is in proportion. tRump is an obese orange blob. Khan is handsome. tRump is - well - tRump. Khan can hold legitimate, well prepared speeches, tRump has trouble reading the teleprompter. Khan allows his record to speak for itself. tRump constantly tells people how wonderful he is. Khan did not have to buy an escort to pretend to be his wife. tRump has "Maleria Ho". Khan is well respected. tRump is certainly not, not anywhere in the world. Khan would make a much better president than tRump, and tRump is well aware of that. Can we trade?

...and there are several pictures available of the two of them standing together...sadly, Trump is about my height and I hate to think I have even that much in common with the Great Pumpkin ....although bone spurs ins heels might make him stand on his toes, but maybe I'm overthinking it...
