The Beeb on Trump’s horrific behavior:
Mr Trump’s attacks on Mr Khan have drawn condemnation from both sides of the Atlantic.
His critics have accused him of being insensitive and twisting the mayor’s words.
Politicians in the UK on Monday called on the prime minister to withdraw the invitation for Mr Trump’s state visit later this year.
The leader of the Liberal Democrats, Tim Farron, said: “This is a man insulting our national values at a time of introspection and mourning.”
Over the weekend, Prime Minister Theresa May refused to criticise Mr Trump, simply saying that Mr Khan was doing a “good job”.
I suppose she doesn’t want to inspire him to start insulting her on Twitter. You know he would.
“Try to imagine the UK prime minister attacking the Mayor of NYC the day after 9/11,” said European Parliament cabinet member Simon O’Connor.
The US Conference of Mayors, representing more than 1,400 American cities, backed Mr Khan.
“He has risen above this crisis of death and destruction, as mayors continue to do, to alleviate fear, to bring comfort to his people of London”, the mayors wrote in a statement on Sunday.
Trump shames us.

Did you catch today’s oeuvre, doubling down on his Khan bashing?
The man is delusional!
B&W “I suppose she doesn’t want to inspire him to start insulting her on Twitter. You know he would”.
Unfortunately I think it’s because she actually likes him.
tiko72 #2: No, she knows that she is going to need him after we’ve finished pissing off our closest neighbours and best trading partners as part of committing the greatest act of national self harm in living memory.
Maybe she does actually like him: she seems sufficiently lacking in judgement in all other aspects of life.

Yep. That too.
May is a disaster. Please don’t judge Brits by May.
And whether or not you judge us by May, we certainly won’t judge you by Trump.
