“President Donald Trump lashed out against one of his frequent foils, London Mayor Sadiq Khan, again on Tuesday, this time pillorying Khan for a recent spate of knife attacks in London — even as the US reckons with three major mass shootings in a single month that have left 38 people dead.
Khan had criticized Trump’s handling of Hurricane Dorian while at an event in Poland commenting the 80th anniversary of the beginning of World War II. Trump was scheduled to be at that event as well, but sent Vice President Mike Pence in his stead, arguing that he had to stay in the US to help coordinate response to Hurricane Dorian, which is one of the most dangerous Atlantic storms on record and is slowly approaching the Southeastern US.
While the president did meet with FEMA officials, he spent the majority of his weekend at one of his golf clubs, reportedly receiving briefings while out on the course. He also tweeted heavily, including sending out some misinformation about Dorian that alarmed Alabamiansbefore the National Weather Service was able to distribute more factual information.
Underwhelmed by Trump’s handling of the situation, Khan ridiculed the president, saying, “He’s clearly busy dealing with a hurricane out on the golf course.”
Trump did not take well to this criticism, and attacked the mayor in tweets, calling him “incompetent” and writing, “Kahn [sic] should focus on ‘knife crime,’ which is totally out of control in London.””
