Trump’s comments came a day after he claimed he would make an “exception” for London’s first Muslim mayor, Sadiq Khan, to enter the US.



“There will always be exceptions,” he told The New York Times on Tuesday while adding he was happy Khan was elected in the city.

Unsurprisingly, Khan was not impressed with Trump’s gesture, saying that the Manhattan billionaire was “ignorant” about Islam and that he hoped he would lose the US election.



Trump has often given conflicting accounts on issues including his tax plan, abortion and transgender people accessing public toilets.

This flexibility has led to concerns among Republican Party leaders about his candidacy.
