London’s New Muslim Mayor: "I Won’t Be Able To Visit The U.S. If Donald Trump Wins"
Newly elected London Mayor Sadiq Khan said he wants to travel to the U.S. to collaborate with other mayors — but he won’t be able to if Donald Trump wins the presidency.
Khan, who was elected mayor last week after fending off racially charged attacks from his opponents, is Muslim. Trump, the presumed Republican nominee for U.S. president, has vowed to ban anyone practicing Islam from entering the United States. The GOP hopeful defended this plan as recently as Sunday, but has also indicated that he’d allow exceptions to the ban for sporting events and heads of state.
UPDATE: 9:05 p.m. — Trump said during an interview on Monday that Khan could be an “exception” to his proposal to bar all Muslims from entering the U.S. “I hope he does a very good job because frankly that would be very, very good,” Trump said.
Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.

It is certainly nice to know that Trump thinks Khan may be one of those apparently rare (in Donald's closed worldview) "GOOD" Muslims. He was only going to allow in Muslim athletes and "heads of state". Apparently 'mayors' of large cities count as heads of state. What about Khan's staff, Donald? Do we still ban all Muslims on Khan's staff?
