In terms of the Embassy, the decision to close the old one and build a new one was taken in October 2008. For those who can't keep track, that's before Obama was even elected.  | | | | | It is interesting that Trump seems intent on demolishing everything that Obama did, for me that has more of a racist tinge than anything else Trump has done or said so far.?
I do not remember any other US President trying so hard to destroy a previous Presidents actions, usually they have some sort of collegiate relationship.
Trump even hates Obama so much that he blames him for things he never did!

Though I think it's more of a Dem thing, that's why he keeps bringing up Hillary more than a year after the election.
But then again perhaps it's the combination? Dem plus non-white or female, respectively.

The tatoos are a dead giveaway.  | | | | | Until Trump persuades Congress to actually legislate "the dismantling of an overbearing Administrative State" then nothing will change, it is just rhetoric without effect.

Ok then, spinning the racist angle
But CNN's top personalities Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon, just came on and said straight on "racist!" (altho sadly CNN is having bad credibility problems lately) | Quote: |  | | | Not racial, not racially charged. Racist. | | | | | https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/and...rk-1202662653/ |

Refugees flee persecution and violence.
Migrants are simply looking for a life style improvement.
Anyway that is not the correct way for a country president to describe another country.
Maybe racist is not the best description? I would suggest vulgar ignoramus?

Full story | | | | | I disagree with you on this. The guy has to represent the US - and at the moment stand behind Trump. I would never work for a boss like Trump.
A snowflake would have blushed and carried on or, worse, hinted to the politicians of the guest-country that he doesn't agree with Trump and his way to approach things.
The guy did the right thing as many others should too. I can't believe there are actually still people who wanna do the job of media spokesman of the white house!
Having said that, all politicians active in the governement outside the white-house should seriously stick it out and make sure, the country is run properly. But they apparently prefer to "retire". Them is who I call snowflakes.
