Tweeters Ridicule Trump's Reason For Scrapped UK Visit
President Donald Trump’s decision to cancel his upcoming visit to England sparked widespread ridicule and celebration online.
Trump confirmed via Twitter on Thursday that he had scrapped his February visit to London:
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!

While Trump claimed he was calling off the trip because he was “not a big fan of the Obama administration having sold perhaps the best located and finest embassy in London for ‘peanuts,’” many tweeters suggested it was more likely that he didn’t want to see any anti-Trump demonstrations. Others were just thrilled he planned to stay in America:

Nope it’s because nobody wanted you to come. And you got the message. https://t.co/9xV7bFZQgL

No doubt he's going to go on a goodwill tour of Africa and Haiti instead.

Very clever sir! Cancelling the trip, rather than admitting you're scared-silly at the prospect of facing massive protests you'd inevitably encounter upon your arrival, was a masterstroke! UK is just another shit-hole country, right? #MakeAmericaCringeAgain https://t.co/Kk3h1zmVsJ
