Without being challenged by the journalist regarding America's gun crime statistics, Trump remarked about Sir Sadiq: “He’s an terrible, terrible mayor.”
Recalling that his mother had a deep affection for London and she used to frequently spoke about it, the POTUS said, the UK capital she knew was quite “different” from today's. “Today you have people being stabbed in the ass or worse,” he continued.
Without offering any evidence, Trump asserted that Sir Sadiq intends to enforce sharia law in London. Calling him a “disaster”, Trump went on to say: “I don’t even know him.

Sir Sadiq reacted angrily to lawmakers who are “spreading misinformation” about safety in the city, as data indicates that violent crimes resulting in injury have decreased across all boroughs over the past year.
During a speech at the United Nations in September, Trump asserted that the city aims to “implement sharia law,” claiming that Europe is being “invaded” by “illegal aliens.”
Since 2015, he has consistently criticised Sir Sadiq, particularly after the Labour politician denounced the then-presidential candidate's proposal to prohibit Muslims from entering the US.
