What a joke. Who does Trump think he is. How many people die all over the USA due to the atrocious gun laws there. Hey how many massacres happen at any given time killing 20 people in 10 mins. He needs to clean his own house before he lectures anyone else.

I agree with Trump.

Under Mayor Khan, violent crime in London has skyrocketed: Knife crime—up 52% Residential burglaries—up 37% Robberies—up 59% Homicides—up 26%, at highest levels in decades Leftist politicians always seem to spend more time opposing Trump than cleaning up their own messes

And Americans are embarrassed again. 😳

Trump obviously doesn't look at his own countries crime stats.

Gun Violence Kill More People in U.S. in 9 Weeks than U.S. Combatants Died in D-Day auspol

What an incredible bloody hide. He needs to look hard at the spates of killings in the USA.

There are many regimes around the globe where we are once again witnessing what happens when the electors put the village idiot in charge. Trump is correct. The left have no clue.

Shame is ABC ...the silent majority agrees, despite your non-stop hate Trump campaign.

Then what should he be called for all the gun crime

Shame is ABC ...the silent majority agrees, despite your non-stop hate Trump campaign.

Maybe Trump should take stock of the number of murders on his turf and consider resigning. People in glass houses.....

Takes one to know one

Everyone has already said it here. How many shootings this year alone?

What about the multiple shootings in the the US! Trump does nothing to clamp down on gun ownership. Trump is a disaster and should focus on home politics first.

Since when is Katie Hopkins 'right-wing'? Hopkins is a journalist who reports factually on what is happening to the UK, not merely editorializing news according to Left-wing dogma. PS Trump was right to call Khan a disaster, because he is! DonaldTrump Londonistan

150 mass shootings in the US so far this year

Needs to look at and take responsibility for killings in his own country

So why are the killings the mayors fault? Trump has a lot of catching up to do with the disastrous US Gus laws! His remedy: more guns to deter would be shooters.

There is footage of an Iranian patrol boat in the Thames around the same time hmmmmmm.

Yes the President is right again!!!!!,London is a mess.

From a man who is the worst and corrupt President

Does he ever look in the mirror and say the same about himself

What's a disaster is the ABC pushing the narrative women should take testosterone so they can compete against trannies. ABOMINATION

London Mayor lost control of the city... there is a need for US military intervention...

What a laugh & what a cheek, this moronic clown is biggest enemy of people, globally. For someone so lacking in intelligence, principals, ethics and manners, he has no rights, to be sticking his bulbs nose, into UK politics, or business.

When you look at all the comments that's how you know the left have damned themselves for all eternity.

Yep, Trump is correct, again ......

realDonaldTrump and what do you call yourself with a mass shooting in the US every week?

By that criterion, what would you say of Trump's America? American schools under the current Secretary?

Not without grounds.

Sadiq Khan has ruined London. What does it say about a city that you need a proof of identity to buy butter knives?

President Trump’s commentary of the Mayor of London is totally correct! The Mayor is beyond a joke! Weak and pathetic are his good points! Keep going Mr President!!!

3 YEARS ON AND THE SOOKY LALA ABC SOY LATTE ULTIMO BED WETTERS ARE STILL WINGING AND WHINING OVER CROOKED HILLARY LOSING ! EVERY DAY TRUMP SHOWS YOU LEFTY FLOGS HOW OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE REAL WORLD YOU ARE ! Trumpderaingementsyndrome 🤣😂😆

And Trump would be right 👍🏻

If London is a disaster, what do all those multiple killings make America?

Donald needs to have a serious look at b what's happening in his own country. This man has serious mental health issues. He truly believes everything he says.

Hmmm🤔How many gun deaths Honest Donny ?

realDonaldTrump really does have a hard on for SadiqKhan. He just can't get enough of this London mayor when there are so many in America he could go after from Chicago to San Francisco but no Sadiq piques the Don's attention the most. Aren't there any Muslim mayors in America?

kazweida helps us understand. DataMatters

Based on what he wrote, the US need a new president with all the killings that occur there on a daily basis as a result of gun violence realDonaldTrump

Donald should worry the next massacre, killer cops n daily gun crime, but than they got no Healthcare, lowest wages, but he's got FBI sorted

Trump needs to look in his own backyard at all those school kids getting slaughterd before he makes stupid comments about another country!!!!!

How many people have died in mass shootings this year? Donny is the LAST person to be wagging that finger.

What planet am I on? A four-word phrase that Trump has obviously bleached from whatever that thing is inhabiting his skull: 'incessant American gun massacres' 😫😠

Gotta wonder how he perceive’s himself after every mass shooting in the USA. What’s worse than a disaster?

He thinks it's a bar of soap!

Compare the killings between US and U.K. And then comment.

He's turned London into a Third World Country😠

Do we dare mention the hundreds that’s are killed on the streets and in the schools of the USA? Donald Trump must either be a fool or a megalomaniac or both.

There are fricken concentration camps in the US. The election was illegitimate and there's a dictator in the house. Leader of the free world, my ass.

Trump

As usual, he is correct.

'stab-city' is a great name. gives the place a certain mystique.

And he would be right

How many due in America each year through gun violence?

Trump calls for replacement of 'disaster' London mayor Sadiq KhanDonald Trump says London Mayor Sadiq Khan needs to be replaced as soon as possible, after a spate of killings in the English capital. Over 6000 gun deaths in the first 6 months of this year in the US.

Think London or Paris, not Blade Runner, for your Sydney of the futureThe world's smartest cities have been looking to the future for centuries. Sydney will become a better place to live as it transforms around rapid transport. London and Paris have changed quite a bit! pvivian_philip Building new high density residential towers (often replacing business parks, commercial areas or light industry) around metro stations will NOT solve the problem of existing, low density, car dependent suburbia. Sydney's Immigration Metros pvivian_philip Cities are driven by energy. Sydney is facing oil, power and gas shortages.

Global order is crumbling, but even without Trump it was doomedThe liberal order’s tendency to privilege multilateral institutions over domestic considerations has had toxic political effects. Give credit where credit is due. What kind of order, Switzer asks? A terrifying, brutal ‘might over right’ one perhaps? A bit sad that he seems to almost cheer this on.
