Theresa May “has made an art of avoiding public confrontation with the US president.” Nevertheless, “enough is enough.” The Prime Minister “should make clear to Mr Trump how offensive and unhelpful his extraordinary intervention was, and rescind the invitation that has been extended to him for a state visit later this year.”

“The stoic determination and decency of the British people and their leaders was on full display in the hours after the latest horrific terrorist rampage.” In contrast, President Trump “acted like a clod, a heartless and dull-witted thug in sending out a series of tweets” on the London attacks. “One is prompted to ask if he is off his rocker. But this is vintage Trump — impulsive and cruel, without an ounce of class or human decency.” With his tweets, Trump has embarrassed “himself—and America—once again.”
