^ THIS is exactly why I love you, A.J. - you are so balanced and fair. Trump is deeply flawed, but he is the democratically elected President of the United States, one of our closest allies, and as the Mayor of our Capital city, Kahn should dignify that office and show respect.

Far worse leaders than Trump have been received by the UK including Romania’s Nicolae Ceausescu, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe, King Salman of Saudi Arabia and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

'Petty and silly' and 'disrespectful' are wonderfully apt descriptors.
