London new Mayor Sadiq Khan reacts to Trump making an exception for him.

Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, says he would make an "exception" to his proposed rule to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States for London's newly elected Mayor Sadiq Khan.
"There will always be exceptions," Trump told the New York Times when asked how his proposed ban on Muslims entering the US would affect London's first Muslim mayor.

But Khan isn't interested in being Trump's special case it plays into the "hands of extremists," Khan said Tuesday.

"This isn’t just about me," Khan responded to Trump. "It’s about my friends, my family, and everyone who comes from a background similar to mine, anywhere in the world."
Khan, like many around the world, has expressed concern with Trump's rise in the United States, and says he is rooting for Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton to win the presidential race.

Trump proposed this ban on Muslims late last year after the attacks in Paris, using the tragedy to claim Muslims "nurture" a widespread hatred for the US and the West a hatred that Trump says will run rampant in the US if the borders allow entry to Muslim Syrian refugees, among whom, he believes, are members of ISIS.

In a recent poll, two-thirds of Republicans said they agreed with Trump's idea to shut down the borders to Muslims an opinion Khan warned against.

"Donald Trump’s ignorant view of Islam could make both our countries less safe. It risks alienating mainstream Muslims around the world and plays into the hands of the extremists," Khan said. "Donald Trump and those around him think that Western liberal values are incompatible with mainstream Islam. London has proved him wrong."

But while London elected Khan to office, the mayoral race came with Islamophobic yammer from the opposition similar to Trump's allegations.
