That's one thing that Donald Trump did not do when he fired off a tweet about the reason behind the cancellation of his London trip. What a surprise!
SEE ALSO: Pete Souza had the perfect reaction to Trump's 'like, really smart' tweetsTrump said he cancelled his trip to the UK's capital because he's "not a big fan of the Obama administration" for selling "perhaps the best located and finest embassy in London for 'peanuts.'"

It was, in fact, the Bush administration who signed the deal in 2008—a month before Obama's election—to relocate the U.S. Embassy to the Nine Elms location in Wandsworth, London.
