Donald Trump "Cancels" His Trip To London

Donald Trump has canceled his London trip, blaming former president Barack Obama for moving the U.S. embassy, which according to Trump he sold for "peanuts".

Trump claims the old embassy was "the best located and finest embassy", criticizing Obama and his administration. It was in fact George W. Bush who moved the embassy for security reasons after terror attacks like the ones in Tanzania and Kenya in 1998.

Although Trump claims he canceled his trip because of the embassy, according to London's Mayor Sadiq Khan, Trump "finally got the message" that he was not welcome in the British capital. According to CNN, "Large protests are expected to accompany any presidential visit to the British capital, where Trump is deeply unpopular."

Obviously, Trump is not very liked by the people of Britain which is actually awful for the United States. This is the first time in a long time that the president of the United States has not visited Britain's embassy. American and British people have reinstated over and over that their relationship is the most important partnership in the world. By Trump having a bad relationship with Britain and the rest of Europe, we could potentially lose our greatest ally, which is bad for both the United States and Britain.

This event may be in the interest of Britain considering they do not have to see President Trump, but for the United States, this makes our country as a whole look really bad. According to Khan, "any official visit at all from President Trump to Britain would not be welcomed." Unless Donald Trump cleans up his act and stops tweeting things at 3:00 a.m that are going to get him in even hotter water, he should be spending more time building stronger connections with people who are in support with the United States.

The people of Britain are so over his actions that they don't want him to come to their country.

If that does not say something, then what does?

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
