Trump cancels London trip, blames Obama for embassy dealSource: NBC
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 criticised the move from "perhaps the best located and finest embassy," even though the relocation was initiated under George W. Bush's administration in 2008 and followed security concerns in the aftermath of terror attacks such as the 1998 embassy bombings in Tanzania and Kenya.
His decision was greeted with relief by London's Mayor Sadiq Khan who said Trump had "finally got the message" that he was not welcome in the capital.

rump has backed off the idea of visiting Britain next month to open the new US embassy in London amid fears of mass protests.
Government sources suggested that Washington had signalled that secretary of state Rex Tillerson would instead open the multimillion-pound embassy.
...
Officials had been examining plans for the president to meet the Queen, without the pomp of a full-blown state banquet, with the attendant risk of disruptive protests.
However, even that more modest plan now appears to have been abandoned for the time being.

Madame Tussauds trolls Trump
After Trump cited disapproval with London's new US embassy as the reason for canceling his visit to the city, Madame Tussauds placed a waxwork of the President outside the building

BTW @realDonaldTrump[/url] as [url= ]@ddale8 notes, you’ve been caught in yet another lie. President Bush made the embassy decision, not President Obama - and for security reasons. Hope the Physical goes well. Maybe they can finally pull your head out of your ass.

Millions of bottles of piss to go to waste following cancelled Trump UK visit
Britain’s stockpiles of bottled piss have been accumulated for naught after Donald Trump said he was staying at home.
Following the cancellation of Donald Trump’s official visit to the UK, protesters and typically reasonable people have been forced to dispose of their stored bottles by burying them in the woods, nestling them amongst a supermarket shelf full of Lucozade, or throwing them from the upper deck of a moving bus.
“I’m bloody annoyed,” confirmed Simon Williams, punting his bottle of piss over a fence and into a school playground.
“I had a wonderful day out planned, right down to the sandwiches I was going to make – ham, cheese and pickle. I was really going to push the boat out and make the most of Donald Trump’s visit by drenching him in the piss I’ve been saving up since the early summer. I’d even purchased a massive pump-action super soaker, which I would have definitely thrown away after the event… I mean, just imagine.
