Trump Slams London Mayor Khan as “Nasty Person” During Scotland Golf Trip
Donald Trump has struck again with sharp words, calling London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan “a nasty person” during a press event in Scotland. The explosive comment came as the former U.S. President met UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in Aberdeen on Monday, July 28, amid his private four-day golf visit.
Trump’s Scathing Remark on UK Soil
Asked if he planned to visit London during his upcoming state visit in September, Trump launched into a biting attack on Khan. “I will. I’m not a fan of your Mayor. I think he’s done a terrible job, the Mayor of London. He’s a nasty person,” Trump said.
Starmer, sitting beside Trump, quickly jumped in: “He’s a friend of mine.” But Trump wasn’t having it. “No, I think he’s done a terrible job. But I would certainly visit London, yeah.”
The tense exchange was captured on video and went viral across social media, fuelling fresh headlines ahead of Trump’s anticipated state visit.
Trump Praises Nigel Farage and Claims Starmer as a Friend
The conversation then shifted to Trump’s ties with UK political figures. He warmly praised Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage, saying, “Well, I like Nigel. I mean Nigel, as you know, is a friend of mine. Nigel’s done very well. And Keir’s a friend of mine.”
Ongoing Feud with Sadiq Khan Heats Up
This isn’t the first time Trump has publicly attacked Khan. During his presidency, Trump dubbed the London Mayor a “stone cold loser,” drawing a fierce comeback where Khan called Trump a “poster boy for racists.”
No formal response has come from Khan since the latest jab. Instead, his official X (formerly Twitter) posted a video promoting his Holiday Hope youth programme, ignoring Trump’s comments entirely.
Why Trump Is in Scotland
Trump landed in Scotland on Friday, July 25, for a private break packed with rounds of golf at his Trump International Menie and Turnberry resorts. His visit acts as a prelude to a planned state visit to the UK in September, where he is expected to meet top officials and possibly members of the Royal Family.
