The British tabloid The Daily Mirror is taking aim at President Trump over his comments attacking the United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS).
Tuesday’s cover of the left-leaning Mirror features a nearly full-page photo of Trump with the headline “You’re sick Mr President.”
“28 million people in the United States are without medical cover,” the cover reads. “Yet clueless Donald Trump attacks our wonderful NHS which takes care of EVERYONE…”
Trump on Monday claimed that a London march protesting funding cuts to NHS was an example of British dissatisfaction and used the march to argue against Democrats’ push for universal health care.

His comments came after former U.K. Independence Party leader Nigel Farage, a Trump supporter, appeared on “Fox & Friends” to discuss the march.
U.K. leaders pushed back hard on Trump’s comments. The country’s health secretary said that while the NHS “may have challenges,” he is “proud to be from the country that invented universal coverage.”
British Prime Minister Theresa May also said that she is “proud” of the NHS, and Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn tweeted that Trump’s comments were “wrong.”
