Donald Trump has once again attacked Sadiq Khan following further bloodshed in the capital. In the wake of five attacks in less than 24 hours in London, the US president branded the Mayor of London a ‘national disgrace’ and a ‘disaster’ on Twitter. He said London needs a new mayor ‘ASAP’ as he retweeted a post from right wing commentator Katie Hopkins, which referred to the capital as ‘Khan’s Londonistan’ and ‘Stab-City’. But if the president looked a bit closer to home, he might realise there are more than 50 US cities with a higher murder rate than London. There were 132 murders in London last year, leaving the capital with a homicide rate of 1.5 per 100,000 residents...

With regards to comparable democracies Australia’s homicide rate is similar to that in the UK (which, in 2011, was 1 per 100,000 compared to 1.1 in Australia) :obama:

That's a personal beef between the two of them. Khan calls Trump a racist, Trump calls Khan a disgrace. They are both being obnoxious little children.

Not to mention that fact-checking random insults is ridiculous. :lol:

We have done a hi-rez scan of Khan's head. We rate Trump's claim of "doo-doo-head" 4 Pinocchios.

Fuck Sadick kahn.

He seems to be doing an ok job :dunno:

I was surprised that he attacked Trump coming over though, out of the blue - must have been waiting for a revenge opportunity

Trump called him a stone cold loser in a Tweet right before visiting the UK and London's mayor didn't back down giving some shit right back to him.

Both do not set a mature example of being good world leaders.

How many of those 50 cities are democrat run? Trump doesn't run the cities.

I did some Googling, and it appears the whole of Canada is 1.6% - similar to London's.

No he doesn't. The National Guard falls under the control of the governor of the state that the National Guard is based in (for example, the Colorado National Guard is controlled by the governor of Colorado). However, in times of war, the President can federalize the National Guard and take control of them just like the regular military.
