Prime Minister Theresa May said she thought Donald Trump was "wrong" to attack London Mayor Sadiq Khan in the wake of Saturdays terror attack in London.
After avoiding several attempts by reporters to get her to condemn the U.S. president for openly criticizing Khan in a series of tweets hours after the attack at London Bridge that killed seven people and left dozens injured, May was asked what it would take for her to criticize Trump. She reiterated her disappointment over his decision to pull out of the Paris Agreement on climate change, before being eventually forced to defend the capitals mayor.

It pains me to write this (because I hated her with a passion) but if Trump dissed UK like this when Thatcher was PM, she would have been all over him like rabid pit-bull.
A bit like Trump makes even 'Dubya' look good (F*ck) - May makes Thatcher look almost nostalgic?
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World!
