DONALD Trump has torn into Jeremy Corbyn – saying he would be “so bad for the country” if he were to become Prime Minister ahead of the General Election.
In an interview with Nigel Farage, the US president praised Boris Johnson as a “fantastic guy” – but slammed Corbyn.
He told LBC the Labour leader would take Britain to “such bad places” ahead of the December 12 election.
But heaping praise on Boris, Trump said: “I have great relationships with many of the leaders, including Boris who’s a fantastic man – I think he’s the exact right guy for the times.
“I know that you and him will end up doing something that could be terrific – if you and he get together it’s [an] unstoppable force.
“Corbyn would be so bad for your country, he’d be so bad, he’d take you in such a bad way.
“He’d take you into such bad places. But your country has tremendous potential, it’s a great country.”
Farage is hosting the US president on his LBC radio show at 6.30pm tonight.
His interview comes on the same day as both Mr Corbyn and Boris launched their election campaigns.
Mr Corbyn addressed a rally of the party faithful in Battersea earlier, vowing take on the elites and claimed he could get Brexit done in just six months.
Boris and Trump have famously got on incredibly well. The US President backed him to become PM before he got into office, and the pair talk on the phone regularly.
During meetings over the summer the pair were chummy and relaxed in each other’s company.
The President is set to come to the UK in December, just before the election date.
It comes as Farage gave Boris 24 hours to make an electoral pact with him.
He is due to reveal tomorrow how many candidates he plans to field as Tory chiefs warn he could let Labour chief Jeremy Corbyn into No10 by splitting the pro-Brexit vote.
He had threatened tostand in all 650 seatsbut it emerged on Wednesday night he may slash it to just a few dozen.
