Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72494212 some reporter tried to make trouble yesterday by announcing on twitter that they'd removed the bust of Dr. Martin Luther King and then he was treated to a deluge of pictures from Spicer and was forced to apologise. I suppose Trump could have it placed in one of the bathrooms that none of them use. |

Not because he isn't a great person, but because I'd rather have Americans represented...I also think busts are tacky so I'd rather just clear all of em out. I'd rather display things from American history that represent the groups of people who made them important. |

User ID: 70579162 United States 01/21/2017 04:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here's another lie that people believe. Yesterday, on his first day of the presidency, a reporter from TIME magazine falsely reported that President Trump removed the bust of Martin Luther King from the Oval Office. Turns out, it's still there where it always was! An agent was standing in front of the table where it sits, and the reporter assumed President Trump had it removed.

(OP) User ID: 28407981 United States 01/21/2017 05:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Obama didn't remove the bust. it was on loan and had to come home. Trumps obviously been given it again. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 64039381 I remember it very well. It was a big deal that obama did that. No one said anything about a loan. And if it was on loan, do you really think England would ask for it back on the first day of obama's pResidency? They would have been called racist. There was a transatlantic flap when Obama removed the Churchill bust in 2009. The White House at first denied it had been removed, but it was later confirmed that it had been returned to the British Embassy.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 73141744 United States 01/21/2017 05:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Please cut the fake news crap out. While I agree that the media is mostly bullshit these days, the fake news rants also call into question utterly every other source of information regardless of where it comes from. People seem to scream fake news every time something is posted that they don't like which means nobody can trust any source which is ultimately detrimental to public knowledge of legitimate facts. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 73761621 United States 01/21/2017 06:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is a family history relating to Obama's dislike of the Brits. His Father suffered for some reason under British rule. I suspect that did occur. That had a direct correlation on the somewhat strained relations between us and Britain. Ditto for Obama's attitude toward Israel. That was based on Islam hatred of Jews. Trump will be reversing these Obama errors. |
