<p>President Trump&rsquo;s visit to London this week was marked by his shocking criticism of Prime Minister Theresa May.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I actually told Theresa May how to do it but she didn&rsquo;t agree, she didn&rsquo;t listen to me,&rdquo; said Trump, referring to Brexit. &ldquo;She wanted to go a different route. I would actually say that she probably went the opposite way.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Trump was a vocal supporter of Brexit who after the results were announced compared the vote to the ;same populist forces that propelled him to victory in 2016.</p>
<p>His ;criticism of May comes just one week after Brexit negotiators agreed on a controversial ;proposal that calls for the UK to continue following EU rules for food and manufactured goods. ;</p>
<p>Former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, who resigned earlier this week, described the proposal as a &#8220;betrayal&#8221; of the vote to leave the EU. ;</p>
<p>Alongside his criticism of May, President Trump told reporters that Johnson would &#8220;be a great prime minister.&#8221; He also criticized London Mayor Sadiq Kahn, saying he had &ldquo;done a very bad job on terrorism,&rdquo; a &ldquo;terrible job in London,&rdquo; and a &ldquo;bad job on crime.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Trump&rsquo;s ;insults couldn&rsquo;t come at a worse time for May, who has been struggling to remain in power since her party lost the majority last June. And her stance on Brexit has only made matters worse. ;</p>
<p>The deal May is striking is a &ldquo;much different deal than the one people voted on,&rdquo; Trump told reporters. Such comments will boost ;May&#8217;s Conservative opponents (who want a cleaner break from the EU) and will undermine May&rsquo;s claims that she intends to honor the hopes of &ldquo;leave&rdquo; voters. ;</p>
<p>Despite the insult, May will host Trump at her country estate on Friday. The two are expected to discuss a potential trade deal between the US and UK.</p>
<p>&ldquo;As we prepare to leave the EU, we have an unprecedented opportunity to do more,&rdquo; said May. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s an opportunity to reach a free trade agreement that creates jobs and growth here in the UK and right across the US.&rdquo;</p>
<p>On Monday, Trump will meet with ;Russian President Vladimir Putin in Finland.</p>
