Trump has taken the poisonous US “culture war” global.
He is now explicitly an enemy making war on any kind of “liberal” civilization in the world. Even inside America’s closest allies. He demonstrated that no sense of decency would stop him lying about his opponents in the US. Now, no inkling of international relationship protocol stops him lying and trying to destroy people he doesn’t like elsewhere. He has trash-talked Angela Merkel and Germany. He’s now trash-talking Sadiq Khan and London. Boris Johnson is allegedly our foreign secretary. Theresa May is our Prime Minister. But neither, apparently, has the courage nor sense of patriotic solidarity, to stand beside one of the most senior elected politicians in the country, when he is attacked and defamed by Trump. Really, I don’t expect anything better of Donald Trump. Everyone knows who he is. The important thing is to take a good look at those people who are promoting themselves as the strong and patriotic defenders of the UK and its culture and social values. Turns out that Theresa May and Boris Johnson are so craven that they have chosen to shrug their shoulders and look the other way rather than stand together with the Mayor of London.
