Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump in an interview Monday shot back at David Cameron after the British prime minister slammed Trump’s plan to ban Muslims from entering the U.S.
“Number one, I’m not stupid, OK? I can tell you that right now — just the opposite,” Trump said on “Good Morning Britain” in an interview with Piers Morgan.
{mosads}”Number two, in terms of divisive, I don’t think I’m a divisive person. I’m a unifier, unlike our president now, I’m a unifier.”
Cameron called Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. “divisive, stupid and wrong.”
Trump said it looks like the countries are not going to have a “very good relationship” if he wins the White House in November.
“I hope to have a good relationship with him, but it sounds like he’s not willing to address the problem either,” Trump said.
A Cameron spokesman on Monday said the prime minister stands by his comments, Reuters reported.
“The prime minister has made his views on Donald Trump’s comments very clear,” the spokesman said. “He disagrees with them.”
In the same interview, Trump said he “doesn’t care” about how London’s new mayor, the first Muslim head of a major Western capital, views his presidential campaign, adding that he’s offended by Sadiq Khan’s comments.
Khan criticized Trump’s comments on Islam and said he has an “ignorant” view of the religion and does not deserve the White House.
“He doesn’t know me, never met me, doesn’t know what I’m all about. I think they’re very rude statements,” Trump said.
“And frankly, tell him I will remember those statements.”
