"I never thought it was the right thing to announce a state visit at the time that Theresa May did but I think the idea, at the moment, of President Trump making a state visit to the United Kingdom is unthinkable and perhaps it is time for the Prime Minister just to put that beyond doubt, that given these controversies, given some of the issues that are to the fore in America, now would certainly not be the time".
She added: "It matters to all of us across the world that we stand up and are counted to combat the ideology of the far-right and I think that's a responsibility of all of us".
On the other hand, Trump is deeply disliked by the British public and every new outrage provides May's opponents with easy ammunition to use against her at a time when her political position is precarious, to say the least.
But his latest comments at Trump Tower in NY have led to new calls for his United Kingdom invite to be with drawn.
Mr Gyimah posted: "Words matter".
Speaking on a visit to Cumbria, he said: "I can find nothing decent about anything the KKK or Nazis say or have ever said".
Her comments came after the U.S. president sent shock waves worldwide when he claimed there were "fine people" among the white supremacists at the Charlottesville rally in which protester Heather Heyer was killed.
Mr Javid said he had learned as a child that neo-Nazis were "bad" and anti-Nazis "good" and it was "pretty obvious".
Ms May is also facing growing calls to officially cancel the planned state visit by Mr Trump, which has already been pushed back because of fears of mass protests.
Mr Trump claimed what he called the "alt-left" was equally to blame for the violence - just one day after, under pressure from advisers, he had finally condemned the far-right for what happened.
They were confronted by anti-racism groups.
"It sends a clear signal that as Britain forges a new, positive, confident role on the world stage in the years ahead we are determined to remain a fully engaged global power, working closely with our friends and allies around the world", Ms May said.
