“I don’t know, I think I see that he was, I guess, the mayor of a town.”
Donald Trump’s first verdict on Andy Burnham? He’s “extremely liberal.” It’s clear the White House briefing notes on a city of 3 million haven't made it to the Oval Office yet. 🇺🇸🇬🇧 #Trump #Burnham #UK https://t.co/idvtQFwXLT

Trump getting his shots in early on Burnham. He always starts with trying to belittle others. Not sure Manchester people will take kindly to the description of it as a “town”! https://t.co/ChlwG4jFAP

‘The mayor of a town’ 😂

Trump is unserious and badly briefed — Greater Manchester has more than three million people https://t.co/9rhTELq8dj

Andy Burnham should spend very little time worrying about what Trump thinks. https://t.co/TyrhzYMSsJ

It could have been worse.

‘I hear he likes Everton which is, like, not even the best team in Liverpool, right? I like teams that win. But I spoke to him on the phone, all he wanted to talk about was pie, they call it pie. Which in New York is a pizza, right? But I wish him well.’ https://t.co/0mWwybLPnt
