President Trump has launched an astonishing attack on Britain’s use of luxury hotels for asylum seekers.
He pointed out that Britain is not alone in its use of hotels for migrants with the same practice also being carried out in the US.
The US President today departed the UK after a short visit to his Turnberry golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland.
He met with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer with the pair putting on a warm display in front of the media.

Donald Trump lambasted the use of asylum hotels in both Britain and the US
Trump was still critical about some parts of Britain’s political landscape and his jibes continued as he jetted home on Air Force One.
“They’re putting people in luxury hotels and other people working their a**es of are not living in the same way”, he said.

“I looked at some of the hotels they are using. They have done it in our country also and they are putting them in some of the best hotels in the world.
“They can get rooms there. Thousands of dollars a night while others are living on the streets, including our veterans.

“Our veterans are living on our streets. There are pictures of veterans sitting on a side walk in front of a fancy hotel while illegals arrive at the hotel to stay for a week.
“It’s no good.”
During his four-day trip to the UK to visit his Scottish gold courses, Trump told Starmer that the migrant crisis is “ruining” Europe.
He said: “Europe is a much different place than it was just five years ago, 10 years ago.
“They’ve got to get their act together. If they don’t, you’re not going to have Europe anymore, as you know it, and you can’t do that. This is a magnificent part of the world, and you cannot ruin it.
“You cannot let people come in here illegally. And what happens is, there’ll be murderers, there’ll be drug dealers, there’ll be all sorts of things that other countries don’t want, and they send them to you, and they send them to us, and you’ve got to stop them.”
Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds rejected Trump’s claims, telling LBC he would not use the term “invasion” to describe the flow of migration across Europe.
