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. Wanted me to cut ribbon-NO!
In England, as in much of Europe, Trump is regarded with disdain, especially due to his efforts to deepen racial resentment. So many Londoners have been prepared to protest any visit, that there has been some question as to whether Trump would dare travel to England and showcase his unpopularity, or whether the invitation to him would be withdrawn.
So he clearly wants to avoid England because he would be met with massive demonstrations of animosity and England might still withdraw the invitation. But that is reality and Trump denies reality:
1. Deny the real reason for cancelling the trip.
2. Deflect attention to Obama, a favorite target, whether or not there is any relevance
3. Distract from the issue of visiting London with an irrelevant subject - the new embassy
4. Accuse the Obama administration of malfeasance (ignoring the role of the Bush administration to relocate the embassy for security reasons)
How long can Trump continue with these tired tactics? At some point, even his supporters might prefer a president who is willing to face reality, admit responsibility and be accountable for his own actions. Blaming Obama, Clinton, Holder, Rice, and Lynch at all times should start to feel strained to these people. In fact, not facing the fact that he is unwelcome in England and lying about his actions betrays a cowardliness. We always knew that he is a bully. And bullies are always cowards deep down. But this latest instance does not involve any bullying. He is just a straight out coward.
