Gated communities are all the rage in the USA, now they have built one as their Embassy!

Add spineless to that list. What a gutless moron.

Was there any controversy prior to Trump complaining and blaming Obama for decisions made under Bush and followed through by the next administration?

The location was specifically chosen with security in mind, and the high cost also followed directly from the security measures built in. The previous location had other buildings in close proximity on three sides and busy streets on all four sides. As usual, Trump is lying with every syllable.

It says something that so many of America's embassies around the world have to resemble military bunkers these days.

I know many people in the UK are actually upset that Trump isn't coming.
It would have been carnival season come early!

I don't think he cares one bit, just a waste of time.
If sticking them in the eye is gutless and spineless, by golly, he's got my high-five!

I've been to plenty of parties and press releases where I was invited and accepted, but didn't want to go. Accepting an invite and wanting to go are two different things. Not a big deal. He'll live and all of us will as well.

Who is ‘them’ here?
Theresa May had a bit of a go at him for retweetimg dodgy videos from a trash racist group in the UK, but Trump said he has a good relationship with her and the UK. He said he wanted to spite Obama, but the reason given is fake news.
I can’t work out who’s eye is getting attacked here.
Jimizo
whose
bass4funk
No, but it seems like every liberal does.
He said that to you personally?
Looks like he will.
Im jealous!
Rhetorical question??
Hmmmm.....
Jimizo
I still don’t know whose eye got attacked here and for what evidently just reason. It wasn’t a rhetorical question.
Who is ‘them’ in your sentence?
bass4funk
Take your pick.

The media just like to blow out of proportion how much Brits seem to care about Trump, if fact most of 'em just couldn't care less about him and his opinions. The fact he hasn't been yet doesn't concern your average Brit one second, there's more important things to think and worry about then another loud-mouth from America.

Trump's man-child act couldn't get any better than this.
Blames Obama for the embassy move. Too funnnnnyyy.
And not visiting his closest ally because he's scared of the people.
What a wimp.
Jimizo
That’s extremely bad manners and as bad as ‘hmmm’.
Have the honesty and decency to answer a perfectly reasonable question. Who is getting it in the eye by Trump not visiting the UK? If you just dashed that off as an attempted defence of Trump, just say so.

Trump is thinking like his old real estate mogul about the embassy location
But embassies are less about "location, location, location" and more about security
Locations are for hotels; security for embassies

As I said, take your pick.
I’m sorry if you are not satisfied with my answer, and no I’m not doing that I don’t need to do that.
Jimizo
You haven’t offered anything to pick from.
This isn’t the way to discuss a topic. If you won’t tell me who is being poked in the eye, at least offer me a range of choices.
It’s a modest request and in the spirit of open, non-partisan and honest discussion. I know you value these ideas.
bass4funk
Oh, you’re smart guy and for so many years that I’ve known you, I’m sure figure it out.
Now you say that?
How about going back to the beginning of the story and reading it, that’s what I did.
I do.
