London Mayor Sadiq Khan blasts Trump for behavior 'I'd expect from an 11-year-old'
The feud between President Trump and London Mayor Sadiq Khan isn't cooling down.
After Trump tweeted that Khan is a "stone cold loser" in response to a critical op-ed, Khan told CNN on Tuesday that this is the kind of behavior "I'd expect from an 11-year-old," saying it's "beneath me to do childish tweets and name-calling." Asked if he was offended, Khan said he wasn't "in the slightest" because nothing Trump does should "surprise you."
Khan separately compared Trump to an 11-year-old child in a Sky News interview, in which he also labeled Trump a "poster boy for the far-right movement around the world."

The mayor of London wrote an op-ed critical of Trump ahead of the president's U.K. visit, saying that he is "just one of the most egregious examples of a growing global threat." Trump subsequently blasted Khan on Twitter before arriving in the U.K., calling him a "stone cold loser" and comparing him to "our very dumb and incompetent Mayor of NYC, [Bill] de Blasio." Khan on Tuesday said it's "for [Trump] to decide how he behaves." Brendan Morrow
