I guess people can't criticize Trump without calling him a name. Very mature argumentation skills.

Personally as a Brit I am a bit embarrassed that an elected head of state is likely to face protests by the whinging left wing unwashed masses.
Hell we've had visits from dictators welcomed with open arms by Queenie but the leader of the biggest investor in the UK is snubbed.
What the # has Trump done to Britain that is so bad?! Okay the golf course issues in Scotland but ffs hardly eating babies is it.
It grieves me that the politically correct whinge bags who will protest have won the day. Most people couldn't give a # if he comes, I don't, but we ain't crying on the internet so it seems that British people are against him.
I believe most people are not - and really don't care either way.
The decision to move was under Bush. The sale was made under Obama, as Trump said. Liar.
Of course, like many many things Dodgy Don says, it's a lie premised in bull#. The reality is that the move was made because it was determined even after security upgrades, that the previous location was too vulnerable to terrorist attack.
And the decision was made at the end of Bush 43's second term, not during Obama's presidency.

The US government is in talks to sell its prominent Mayfair embassy in London to Chelsfield Partners, a property investment company backed by Qatar Investment Authority.
The group has emerged as a favourite to secure the sale of the imposing concrete building – with its distinctive golden eagle – in Grosvenor Square, which has more than 200 years of association with the US government. John Adams lived there in 1785 before his time as US president.
Final negotiations about price and rents are still progressing, with the block thought to be worth between £300m-£400m ($412m-$550m).
Other parties interested in the sale have been informed that they have not reached the next round. These include the Duke of Westminster’s property company Grosvenor, which was in partnership with Qatari Diar, and Hines, the company run by veteran US property developer Gerald Hines.

the only person that sounds thin skinned is the op with all his name calling and whining.

I didn't say that the embassy was sold during the Bush administration, I said that the decision (to move) was made at the end of the Bush admin.
