Donald Trump: 'I'm doing good for the Muslims'

Donald Trump has denied claims he is a racist, insisting he is "doing good for the Muslims" with his call to ban Muslims from entering the US.

As a petition appealing for the controversial billionaire to be banned from the UK passed 360,000 signatures, Trump said the American public was behind his proposal as were his "many Muslim friends".

Trump, who is seeking the Republican nomination for next year's presidential election, told CNN: "I am the least racist person that you have ever met."

Labour's mayoral candidate said that Donald Trump "doesn't have a clue about London" following his comments that parts of London are "so radicalised the police are afraid for their own lives."

But Sadiq Khan MP said that he should not be "dismissed as a buffoon" and that his comments were "outrageous, divisive and dangerous".

[Trump] is clearly ignorant about London’s tolerance and diversity and also about how unified we are as a city.

More importantly he should apologise for pretending to speak on behalf of our police, who do such an incredible job keeping our city safe.

Trump can’t just be dismissed as a buffoon – his comments are outrageous, divisive and dangerous - I condemn them utterly them and hope his campaign dies a death.

– London Mayor candidate, Sadiq Khan
