At a press conference on Tuesday, Donald Trump and Theresa May were asked about the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had not attended the state banquet for the president, but had instead addressed the protests against him in Trafalgar Square. Trump brazenly lied about the protest, calling it “tiny” and claiming “thousands of people” had come to cheer him, despite the streets being practically empty, and claimed the protests were “fake news.”

Just as his plane was landing in Essex, Trump tweeted that the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, was a “stone cold loser” and “nasty.” Speaking about Corbyn at the press conference, Trump confirmed that Labour had requested a meeting between him and Corbyn, and Trump had refused one.

The biggest policy controversy on Trump’s visit is America’s interest in gobbling up the National Health Service. The US ambassador has stated that the US will insist on business access to the NHS as part of any post-Brexit UK-US trade deal, and Trump confirmed it at the Tuesday press conference. The announcement was greeted with universal fury — the NHS remains sacrosanct in the UK, an institution universally loved by the public regardless of political positioning, and any privatization or threats to free health care are politically toxic. May said nothing, and any new Tory leader who accommodates such a move will be politically flayed by the public.
