London Mayor Sadiq Khan slammed President Trump on Thursday, saying he should not be welcomed in the U.K. after retweeting a series of videos from the a leader of an ultranationalist party that appear to show Muslims engaging in violent acts.

President Trump has used Twitter to promote a vile, extremist group that exists solely to sow division and hatred in our country. It's increasingly clear that any official visit from President Trump to Britain would not be welcomed. pic.twitter.com/oZ1Kt0JCfY

Khan, who is Muslim, said an official visit by Trump to the U.K. “would not be welcomed" and said the president is touting “a vile, extremist group," according to The Associated Press.

Trump early Wednesday retweeted the violent, anti-Muslim videos from the British First Party's Jayda Fransen.

1. WOW the tweets finally have consequences.

2. Does this mean he won't ride in the queen's gilded pumpkin carriage?

But he's having his glass golf shoes made just for this occasion.

Sad.

3. Cancel Trump's Visit Because He's Trump

You don't need any another reason, Brits!

4. How can this country be so pathetic?

Trump is a disgusting jerk of a human being and the poster boy for this country and nobody with clout has the backbone to call him out. I have known for a long time based on my life experiences that the bullshit "This is the greatest country in the world" is so wrong. Now we have the ultimate rich using a clown without any morals or conscience dismantling everything that is good and screwing over what middle class is left and the poor people. At one time in our history if this were going on, people would be outraged and politicians on both sides would act hastily to correct it. We have stand up to the rich and put the racists and haters back in the shadows. This is the 21st century and we are so screwed up with the hate of the deranged republican supporting trash. They are so out of it that they vote against their own best interest. The so called religious side with hate and try to paint themselves as so to be victims that only the republicans can save because of devout Christians like Trump and his sleazy cohorts.

5. Too bad the powers that be

in the US government can not see how damaging this orange ass is. Oh, yes, he is "new at this" he is "not a politician" No he is not, but obviously he has not one shred of DECENCY or INTELLIGENCE, either. Look at how much damage he has done in a few short months. The gop HAS to recognize that they are helping him reduce the USA in the eyes of the entire world. It will take years to clean up this mess he is leaving behind. I LOATHE this clown.

6. ALSO, cancel Trump's BILLION $$$$ bonus (tax break).

7. Or they could just let him visit and give him the carriage ride.

They could also encourage everyone along the route to bring bags of dog poop and squirt guns filled with urine.

8. I hope Trump goes to London.

Just so the Mayor can spit in his face.
