Sadiq Khan torn apart by fuming Donald Trump with two brutal words
Donald Trump and Sadiq Khan have been clashing since 2015.

Donald Trump has officially reignited his decade-long feud with Sadiq Khan as he branded the London Mayor "grossly incompetent" in a scathing rant. The US leader issued the blow during a press conference from the White House's Oval Office, just after meeting with NATO chief Mark Rutte. Referencing the UK's "two problems, immigration and energy," Trump added: "And crime too, by the way," as he raged: "You have a terrible Mayor of London by the way."
Although he softened the blow with "I don't want to cause any problems," the President continued: "Your Mayor of London is grossly incompetent, a bad person and a horrible representative for your country." Talking to the press, Trump remarked, "You know that, that's why you're smiling and laughing, it's true." He added: "The Mayor of London is a horror show, you have a crime problem, you have an immigration problem, the immigration helps cause the crime, and you have a tremendous energy problem."

Trump then criticised the UK government for its reluctance to fully expand North Sea oil production, stating: "You're building stupid windmills all over the country and they don't do the job.
"You have the greatest oil field in the world, it's called the North Sea oil. All you have to do is bill it out to Exxon, Chevron, Shell, British Petroleum; they're begging to go there and pay billions of dollars, and because the left is so crazy, they don't want the money."
The US leader then concluded: "The country is going to go bankrupt."
Trump’s feud with Sadiq dates back to 2015, when they were both running for office. It intensified after the terrorist attacks in London in 2017 and now continues with regular clashes on social media.

During his 2015 presidential campaign, Trump pledged to ban Muslims from the US, which was criticised as "outrageous" by Sadiq, who at the time was standing to be Mayor of London after Boris Johnson.
After Sadiq's victory the following year, Trump suggested the Mayor would be exempt from his proposed travel ban on Muslims, stating: "There will always be exceptions," and added that the election was a "good thing".
Meanwhile, the London mayor remained unimpressed and claimed the President's views on Muslims were "ignorant" Trump then challenged Sadiq to an IQ test, to which he later told ITV: "I will remember those statements. They are very nasty statements."
Just days ago, Sadiq blamed the US leader for the increase in death threats he's received, as he claimed that the targeting rose by 2000%.
Speaking to Republica, the 55-year-old said: "It’s very difficult for me, personally, for my family, [and for] my friends, it’s never nice having death threats and requiring police protection."
He added: "We did some analysis, and when President Trump got elected, the amount of threats I received went up by 2,000 %. When he was elected the second time, it’s gone up by 100 %."
