Sadiq Khan: US will reject ‘divisive’ Donald Trump

US voters will reject Donald Trump because his “ignorant, divisive, and dangerous” views play into the hands of extremists, Sadiq Khan believes.

The public spat between the new mayor of London and the presumptive Republican presidential nominee resumed after Mr Trump called the prominent Muslim politician “ignorant” and “nasty” in an interview with ITV’s Good Morning Britain.

A spokesman for the mayor hit back, saying: “Donald Trump’s views are ignorant, divisive, and dangerous — it’s the politics of fear at its worst and will be rejected at the ballot box just as it was in London.
