London Mayor says Trump appears to care only about white America

London (CNN)The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has said Donald Trump's divisive rhetoric gives the impression the US President cares only about white Americans.

Speaking to CNN's The Brief, Khan, a long-time critic of the President, said he felt "the long shadow of Donald Trump's agenda" in the UK.

"The concern that we have is ... when President Trump talks about America First -- does he really mean white America first?" he said.

"That's a big concern for many of us."

The British politician said the US President's actions "on many, many occasions ... gives us the impression that all he cares about is white America."

But he’s the most overt, malevolent white racist who’s been elected President of the US for a long, long time.

And I ain’t whistling Dixie, either.

Trump only cares about WEALTHY white America. He doesn't give a shit about the rest of us.

that was what I was going to say.

Though "Cares" is kind of a stretch...he doesn't really care about anything but what can benefit him personally at any given moment.

I think he’s right on target, not only with foreign policy but also with immigration.

I’m glad he said it. If an Afro-American said it, the $#it-throwing monkeys of the right-wing propaganda organs would be saying that that’s just another resentful American colored guy. With Mr. Kahn saying it, it’s like Donnie and the two Steve’s dirty little secret is out in the open.

This isn’t just American domestic politics, but international policy.
