| LONDON - U.S. President Donald Trump once again criticized London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Saturday, saying he is a "disaster" and will "only get worse" after three people were slain in the city in less than 20 hours. Trump retweeted a tweet by the right-wing commentator Katie Hopkins who called London "stab city" and said "this is Khan’s Londonistan," a phrase used to describe the city's failure to tackle Muslim extremists. "LONDON needs a new mayor ASAP. Khan is a disaster - will only get worse!" Trump said on Twitter. Trump called Khan, a Muslim of Pakistani heritage, a"stone-cold loser" earlier this month after the mayor criticized the British government for inviting Trump for a state visit and compared him to 20th century fascists. Trump’s feud with Khan dates back several years. Khan has criticized Trump’s effort to ban travellers from Muslim countries, while the president has castigated the mayor for his handling of a 2017 terrorist attack on the London bridge that killed 11 people https://japantoday.com/category/world/trump-calls-london-mayor-a-'disaster'-after-a-spate-of-killings |
| That's nothing new. Trump hates muslims which don't benefit him unlike the 'saudis'. |
 "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost." |
| Well, he's not wrong, is he? |
 |
| is 3 stabbings in a population of roughly 8.7 million people in a 20 hour span actually that bad? lmao we have much more violent crime here in the US with significantly less people in most cities |
| WHAT?! Ok...there is LITERALLY a mass shooting in America like every other week! Who is Trump to criticize anyone in terms of not being able to protect their citizens?!? The Cheetoh in Chief does nothing because he and his pathetic party are completely bought off by the NRA. But, just another inane, completely retarded statement by the dumbest motherfucker that has ever been president. I mean, my god, Bush looks like a genius next to Trump. And of course, his cult will defend him (unironically) because that’s just how stupid they are as well. |
| lol at the comments At this point, it is more shocking when Trump actually gets facts correct. |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| London —> 3 dead due to stabbings... Trump: “Hurr durr, you guys suck, you’re a loser Khan!” Any fucking city in America —> Another mass shooting leaving FAR greater than 3 dead....repeats itself over and over again... Trump: “I don’t care, #MAGA” |
| Trump's right. UK should follow the great America's footsteps. 3 stabbings in less then 20 hours is unfathomable. Legalize guns, then there would be 0 stabbings. Everyone can defend themselves with a gun. |
 |
| I think it is important to seperate individuals willing to adapt to a culture and learn the language to immigrants with other intentions. Trump is not fully incorrect in his claims. |
 |
| ye i agree with the comments here Trump is acting like London is worse than USA when it comes to killings |
| Yea cuz nothing bad happened in lets say the peaceful New York for those 20 hours. Like don't get me wrong, London's police might have become a joke but the hypocrisy is real. Saudi Arabia beheads or crucifies gays and political enemies after gruesome tortures - Trump says nothing. Multiple mass shootings in the US over the last year - Trump: I feel sorry for the victims. 3 dead in London in separate incidents - Trump: OMG MUSLIM INVASION 2019 IT IS A DISASTER Obviously this is unacceptable but it seems like Trump only cares about the victims as long as he can benefit something from their deaths. |
| What a moron. That's a good day in most American cities but he seems to keep quiet about that. The hypocrisy is laughable. London is a shithole though and it's only going to get worse as more brits move out and more African immigrants move in meaning more gangs and more deaths. |
 |
| As someone who actually immigrated to another country it's plain as day to see when a group of people are not willing to assimilate. Of course this may be a shocking fact to some people, but, when you let people in and the first thing they do is start crime and begin to stab the populace it may, just may, be a good indicator they are not willing to embrace the new culture in which they inhabit. Shocking right? |

| Most British cities are such depressing, poverty-ridden shitholes it's a miracle there aren't more stabbings. |
 |
| London is essentially a shithole right now so he's 100% right. |

I don't deny that the situation in London isn't good. However Trump denies far more important issues in his own and other countries around the world while using some particular incidents such as these to spread political propaganda. |
| well trump's right. And the way it's being handled is a disaster tool. If I even mention muslim or immigrant rape gangs that are roaming the streets preying on children which we have VERIFIABLE proof of, I get accused of "hate speech". |

| Well Trump isn't wrong. A small city in a rise of acid attacks and stabbing by our muzzie mayor and friends. |

Saku_k said: Yes actually it is. If 3 murders in a day was normal London would have over a 1000 murders a year. In 2018 the total murders in London was 132. If 132 murders happen on random, independent days of the year, then the chance of there being at least one day with at least three murders is over 90%. That's how statistics work. |
logopolis said: If 132 murders happen on random, independent days of the year, then the chance of there being at least one day with at least three murders is over 90%. That's how statistics work. That's still not normal if it happens once in 365 days. Normal would mean if it was happening all the time, 3-5 times a week like in most US cities. |

Saku_k said: In 2018 the total murders in London was 132. In comparison, New York City has 289 murders in 2018...more than double! And...get this...it was actually the LOWEST amount of murders in NYC in decades! In 1990, NYC had 2,245 murders...that’s in ONE year! So, overall, I’d say London is fairly safe....I was there myself not too long ago, had a great time and at no point felt unsafe. |

Not sure what you guys are going on about. My post was in response to the idea that 3 murders in less than 24 hours isn't a big deal because London has a big population, thus implying that 3 murders in a day is normal. The reality is London doesn't actually have that many murders for its size so 3 in a day is kind of a big deal/not a normal occurrence. Murders in London have been on the rise the past couple years, and Khan has faced criticism for this, from people other than Trump. So Trump isn't really off the mark here and he isn't alone. Londoners don't think Khan is doing a very good job either, his approval rating has been plummeting recently, murders and knife violence being one of the reasons. Also, trends are important and what we should be looking at. As you say, NYC had 2245 murders in 1990, and only 289 in 2018. NYC has come a long way in reducing murders. If murders in NYC jumped to 1000 for 2019, people would be upset, even if it is still less than half of 1990. People care about whether things are getting better or worse. |

Things are so bad that migrants are sending their children back to Africa to escape knife crime. London is now official less safe then Africa. This is what happens when you import third world you become third world. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-48353960 https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9169860/parents-of-british-teens-send-them-to-somalia-to-escape-uks-knife-crime-epidemic/ London having a higher crime rate then New York Even if crime rate was lower it still wouldn't justify exponential rise in crime rate. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-48050426 So no London is not a safe place anymore.  |

| The criminals are all immigrants so the irony of sending others back is not lost on me. I don't mind when gang members die but there was one poor girl stabbed to death from behind as part of an initiation to a gang. This all happened because stop and search powers were considered "racist" so now all blacks know they can carry a knife without fear of being arrested. Once again the PC do-gooders have blood on their hands. |

There wont be any stats anywhere that back up proof non whites are a problem. ie the muslim kiddie fiddling rings in every northern town. So you will have to look yourself. |

| Violent crime? pfft, who cares, It's just part and parcel of living in a major city. It definitely has nothing to do with London's high ethnic population. |

Lack of evidence isn't evidence. Also even if that were true that's manipulation of data by being so narrow as a city. It's not like London has it's own border and immigration laws. It took me just seconds to find a case of a stabbing that doesn't seem to be an immigrant suspect. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/surrey-terrorism-incident-teenager-attacked-baseball-bat-knife-stanwell-police-a8827361.html To ad to that. Race =/= national origin. If someone is not white it doesn't make them an immigrant. |

It is often hard to find the killer but here's the top list of victims who are immigrants. https://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=london+stabbing https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-48660063 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-48671557/london-stabbing-he-was-my-amazing-brother https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-48680133 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-48710049 3 blacks, a Lithuanian and a Russian. Not one white British person which is surprising considering they make up 92% of the population. I left out Lician Savin because it sounds very foreign but I am not sure if he is. |

| Politics aside, from everything I seen London is a shithole not worth living in. I don't know how anyone can justify spending 2.5k a month on a 1 bedroom apartment which is the average price there. The city also dirty and polluted, to densely populated, and lacks anything fun to do outside of consumerism. |
