English Twitter Reacts to Trump's Comments on London Mayor Sadiq Khan

President Donald Trump criticized London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s the day after Saturday’s deadly terror attack on the London Bridge.

The tweet was a response to a statement made by Mayor Khan Saturday, which said: "Londoners will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days. There's no reason to be alarmed."

Khan's quote was meant to reassure Londoners that increased police presence meant no reason to be alarmed, but Trump misconstrued Khan's words to mean the was normalizing terror attacks.

A spokesperson for Khan said that the mayor "has more important things to do than respond to Donald Trump's ill-informed tweet that deliberately takes out of context his remarks urging Londoners not to be alarmed when they saw more police — including armed officers — on the streets." The mayor has released several statements to reassure Londoners. The threat level still remains severe, which indicates an attack against the country is still very likely.

Among Trump's first tweets reacting to the incident were promotions for his travel ban.

Once representatives from Khan clarified he meant increased police presence was no cause for alarm, Trump tweeted more of his opinions about the London mayor.

Public officials and civilians alike took to Twitter to respond to his comments.

The US Embassy in London tweets support for Mayor Khan's words and actions.

Penny Mordaunt, a Conservative candidate for the 2017 General Election, tweeted the transcript to Khan's interview to show her support for his words and actions after the terror attacks.

Labour candidate David Lammy quoted Trump's tweet and criticized his leadership style.

Brendan Cox, the husband of deceased British lawmaker Jo Cox, expressed his belief in Khan's superiority in regards to Trump.

This is not the first time Khan has received criciticism from Trump or from members of his team. In May 2017, Trump challenged Khan to an IQ test after Khan said Trump's views on Islam were ignorant.

In March 2017, Donald Trump Jr. tweeted a link to a September 2016 story in which Khan is quoted as saying terror attakcs are "part in parcel of living in a big city." Trump Jr.'s tweet was a response to attacks near Westminster Palace.

In the past, Khan has also criticized President Trump for his views. In January 2017, Khan, London's first Muslim mayor, stated that Trump's visit to England should be cancelled when he tried to implement a travel ban on Muslim nations.

"I am quite clear, this ban is cruel, this ban is shameful, while this ban is in place we should not be rolling out the red carpet for President Trump," he said to Sky News.
