LONDON (Reuters) - London Mayor Sadiq Khan said it was preposterous for Donald Trump to blame a rise in violent crime in the city on immigration after the U.S. president criticised his handling of crime and militant attacks.
The idea that you can blame this on immigration from Africa is I think preposterous and we should call him out when he does so, Khan told BBC radio on Friday.
Trump told the Sun newspaper that the London mayor had done a very bad job on terrorism and referred to crime that is being brought in to the city.

Any crime whatsoever.
Any terrorist acts whatsoever, even if committed by straight white male Christians.
Inability to get fucked. Or even to get women to talk to them.
Loss of employment.
The traffic lights always turning red on them.
Bad beer.
Bad coffee.
Potholes
Long lines at Wally World, the grocery store, gas stations, etc.
Their kids getting anything less than an A+ in every subject there is.
Their racist outbursts.
Their getting outed as KKK members.
Lack of rain.
Lack of sunshine.
High temperatures.
Low temperatures.
Traffic.
And just about everything else that goes wrong.
