Trump Punks out

[edward37]

ASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said he is postponing his State of the Union address until the partial government shutdown ends, yielding after a weeklong showdown with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Following a high-stakes game of dare and double-dare, Trump conceded Wednesday night that "no venue that can compete with the history, tradition and importance of the House Chamber." He said he was not looking for an alternate option after Pelosi served notice earlier in the day that he wouldn't be allowed to deliver the address to a joint session of Congress next week.

Pelosi had taken the step after Trump said he planned to show up in spite of Democratic objections to the speech taking place with large swaths of the government shut down.

Denied that grand venue, Trump promised to come up with some sort of alternative event. The White House scrambled to find a site matching the gravitas of the traditional address from the rostrum of the House to lawmakers from both parties, Supreme Court justices, invited guests and a television audience of millions.

"As the Shutdown was going on, Nancy Pelosi asked me to give the State of the Union Address. I agreed," Trump tweeted shortly after 11 p.m. EST. "She then changed her mind because of the Shutdown, suggesting a later date. This is her prerogative - I will do the Address when the Shutdown is over."

Trump shoulda let her fly 1st class.......~S~

He should give the speech on the 29th. He doesn't need the House. He can give that speech anywhere.

That's what I'd do.

It seems he is betting that the shutdown will end sooner rather than later. If he gets $5.7b from the dems x-wall, and the Senate Bill has some wall funding, or Trump can legally find wall funding elsewhere, they can pass the Budget and end the shutdown. Trump wants the real venue and I don't blame him.

Yes he does but how many bodies, how much hurt is he delivering to achieve his ego healing?

Until Pelosi sobers up caring about our government workers and border security. The sotu will happen.

So a tired old unimportant speech, where partisans get up and clap like trained seals at regular intervals, gets postponed.

BFD.

Trump does not want to go down in history as the only President who was not allowed to give the SOTU in the House chamber. He does not want that legacy.

I'm glad he made the right decision, and it should not be rubbed in his face.

He now looks bigger than Pelosi in my book. This was a cheap shot by Pelosi.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

He should give the speech and really unload on the enemy Democrats.

Still couldn't care less about the stupid speech, no matter how many irrelevancies you want to toss about.

 

[Siete]

   ....alternative venue for the SOTU Address because there is no venue that can compete with the history, tradition and importance of the House Chamber. I look forward to giving a “great” State of the Union Address in the near future!
