Here's Why Theresa May Is So Furious at Trump

When President Donald Trump retweeted three inflammatory videos from the anti-Muslim extremist group Britain First last week, he set the entire U.K. establishment on fire. At a time when the country is bitterly divided and distracted by Brexit, getting the public's attention, much less uniting much of it, was some feat.

Speaking from Jordan, Prime Minister Theresa May denounced the decision to retweet from the "hateful organization." The British ambassador in Washington, Sir Kim Darroch, wrote to the White House in protest. Mayor Sadiq Khan of London, from the opposition Labour Party, called on May to cancel her offer of a state visit to Trump. In sharing the videos, said Labour MP Stephen Doughty, Trump showed that "he is either a racist, incompetent or unthinking — or all three.”
