TEHRAN, Sept 04 -US President Donald Trump has hit back at London Mayor Sadiq Khan after the British politician chastised the American head of state for his handling of Hurricane Dorian.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -Misspelling the mayor’s first and last names, Trump warned “incompetent” Khan in a couple of tweets on Tuesday to “stay out” of the US’s business after Khan berated him for playing golf as Hurricane Dorian bore down on the southeastern coast of the United States.
Trump defended his time spent golfing, saying it was not different from politicians who spend time exercising or traveling.
“The incompetent Mayor of London, Sadique Kahn, was bothered that I played a very fast round of golf yesterday,” Trump wrote in a tweet. “Many Pols exercise for hours, or travel for weeks. Me, I run through one of my courses (very inexpensive). President Obama would fly to Hawaii.”
He continued, “Khan should focus on ‘knife crime,’ which is totally out of control in London. People are afraid to even walk the streets. He is a terrible mayor who should stay out of our business!”
The tweets came after Khan panned the US president for his golf habit, saying, “He’s clearly busy dealing with a hurricane out on the golf course.”
Hurricane Dorian left a path of destruction through the Bahamas on Monday and is now on track to hit parts of the East Coast throughout the week.
The American president was away visiting his Trump National Golf Club in Virginia amid the heavy storms and flash flooding caused by the deadly hurricane.
Trump has declared a state of emergency for the US state of Georgia as Hurricane Dorian was on its course towards Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina after battering Bahamas.
The American head of state and the London mayor have butted heads numerous times over the past few years, with Trump branding Khan a "stone cold loser" and the Labour politician objecting to Trump’s campaign pledge to ban Muslims from traveling to the US.A
