Donald Trump says he's not going to have 'good relationship' with British Prime Minister David Cameron and London Mayor Sadiq Khan
Donald Trump: I'm not stupid, ok?
NY Daily News
Donald Trump, in a single interview with British blowhard Piers Morgan Monday, damned all hopes of diplomacy with Britain — saying he won’t work with its most prominent politicians because they said mean things about him.
“It looks like we’re not going to have a very good relationship,” Trump said on “Good Morning Britain,” dismissing diplomatic relations as if turning down a cup of tea.
Prime Minister David Cameron and London Mayor Sadiq Khan have denounced The Donald, particularly for his call to ban Muslims from entering America. Cameron deemed the plan “divisive, stupid and wrong.”

That accurate assessment pricked Trump’s thin skin.

About Cameron, he added: “I hope to have a good relationship with him. But it sounds like he’s not willing to address the problem either.” He didn’t specify which “problem” Cameron isn’t handling to his liking.
Khan, London’s first Muslim mayor, has already butted heads with Trump less than one month into the job. Trump said Khan could be one of the “exceptions” to his Muslim ban — a non-honor Khan refused.

British Prime Minister David Cameron and London Mayor Sadiq Khan have
denounced Donald Trump for his plans to ban Muslims from entering
America.
“When he won, I wished him well. Now, I don’t care about him,” he told Morgan.
“He doesn't know me, never met me, doesn’t know what I’m all about. I think they’re very rude statements and frankly, tell him I will remember those statements. Very nasty statements.”
Cameron has refused to back down from his Trump hits, but said in a statement he is willing to work “with whoever is president of the United States.”
Khan, meanwhile, said he’s planning to meet with American politicians in January — right before the possibility of a President Trump inauguration. He said he “can’t engage with American mayors and swap ideas” if the bumbling billionaire infiltrates the White House.
