Wow................every day it seems that Trump just can't seem to get facts right anymore.
He's decided to cancel his London visit which was supposed to be for the ribbon cutting on the new embassy. He's refusing because he thinks that the old embassy was in a great location as well as seems to be a bit butt hurt that it was moved (he thinks) because of Obama.
Only problem is, they decided to move the embassy under Jr. when they figured out that the old embassy was in a place that could be attacked easily.
But, Trump keeps on with blaming Obama. Guess the reason is because it plays so well to his racist base to keep blaming the black man. Just when you thought he couldn't become any more petty, he sets the bar lower still.
Trump cancels London trip, blames Obama for embassy deal
LONDON — President Donald Trump has canceled a trip to London to open the new U.S. Embassy, blaming the Obama administration for selling the old building in the city for "peanuts."
He criticized the move from "perhaps the best located and finest embassy," even though the relocation was initiated under the George W. Bush administration in 2008 amid wider security concerns after terror attacks such as the 1998 embassy bombings in Tanzania and Kenya.
Trump's decision was greeted with relief by London's Mayor Sadiq Khan, who said the president had "finally got the message" that he was not welcome in the British capital.
He said on Twitter: "Reason I canceled my trip to London is that I am not a big fan of the Obama Administration having sold perhaps the best located and finest embassy in London for 'peanuts,' only to build a new one in an off location for 1.2 billion dollars. Bad deal."
An embassy statement said the cost of the new building had been funded entirely from the proceeds of the sale of other U.S. government properties in London and "not through appropriated funds."
