Jemaine Clement had the best response to Donald Trump after he retweeted Katie Hopkins in his latest attack on Sadiq Khan
In his latest attack on London mayor Sadiq Khan, the so-called US president Donald Trump pulled out the big gun. He retweeted Katie Hopkins.
LONDON needs a new mayor ASAP. Khan is a disaster – will only get worse! https://t.co/n7qKI3BbD2

Which was a new low for Trump (well, equal low) and doubtlessly delighted Hopkins as much as it appalled everyone else.
And there was no end of very good and informative responses.
FYI Katie Hopkins doesn’t speak for our country. If we had your gun and murder problems I’m sure we wouldn’t be criticising a hard working mayor like @SadiqKhan who focuses on solving a difficult problem not tweeting nonsense.

39,773 people in the US lost their lives at the point of a gun last year.
AMERICA needs a new President ASAP.

You know what would solve London’s knife crime problems?
More fucking knives.
Teachers with knives, vicars with knives, shopkeepers with knives, elderly librarians armed to their fucking teeth with knives.
After all, this approach worked wonders for your gun problems, right?

Your schools are shooting ranges! Children’s heads are targets! Your murder rate is 100x greater than the UK’s. Don’t dare lecture us on violence & don’t bother citing a racist fuckwit like Katie Hopkins either. That puts your credibility in negative figures.

But Flight of the Conchords’ Jemaine Clement had the best.
On the list of the 50 cities with the highest homicide rates in the world – 4 are in the USA. None in the UK.

It was liked more than 8,000 times, but not everyone believed it.
Hmmm I find this hard to believe they are stabbing everyday near enough it’s getting worse in my city Birmingham! Even if this was true USA is 100x times bigger then the UK so they will obviously have more murders.

That's why I mentioned city not country. London has over 8 million people, St Louis – which is on the list has just over 300,000 people.
