Consider Trump's personal attack on London's mayor, Sadiq Khan, after Saturday night's deadly terrorist attack in the British capital.
Still, some people have taken the issue more lightheartedly, suggesting that Trump's tweets were like something out of a DC comic book.
"Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his "no reason to be alarmed" statement", Trump said in a second tweet later Monday.
When Theresa May offered Trump an official state visit when the pair first met, it was an unprecedented move for a new and controversial president.
This is a recurring theme, and then we're attacked.
Trump said he had spoken with May to express America's "unwavering support" and offer USA assistance as the British government works to protect its citizens and bring the guilty to justice.
In an interview with Channel 4 News, Khan called for the state visit planned in July to be cancelled. "It's wrong to say anything else".

Any way you dice it, a dip below $37.94 a share would be very bad news for DKS's technical picture in the near-term. Finally, Nordea Investment Management AB increased its stake in Dicks Sporting Goods by 57.8% in the first quarter.
Responding to claims by United States reporters that Trump "picked a fight" with Khan "because he was Muslim", the White House press secretary said, "I think that to suggest something like that is utterly ridiculous".
In fact, Trump's tweets contradicted statements made by the U.S. embassy in London, resulting in the acting ambassador to the UK, Lewis Lukens, receiving a barrage of online abuse from Trump supporters.
A spokesperson for Mr Khan said the president had deliberately taken the comments out of context. She dismissed suggestions Trump may be targeting Khan because of his Muslim heritage as "utterly ridiculous". "All day, every day", said the Trump scion. Theresa May absolutely must withdraw the state visit.
"When you have a special relationship, it is no different from when you have got a close mate", he added. "I haven't got time to respond to tweets from Donald Trump".
His comments were backed by his colleague Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour Party leader, as well as the Liberal Democrat leader, Tim Farron. Specifically, the British politician feels the Trumpster shouldn't be welcome in the U.K.as the Commander-In-Chief's policies are so incompatible with the nation's values. "And this president is trying to do something to protect the people of this country".
Hitting tack at US President Donald Trump, Mayor London Sadiq Khan stated that Trump's state visit to Britain should be cancelled.
"Mark it all down as further evidence that the most effective opponent of the Trump presidency is Donald J. Trump".
