Trump postpones Pelosi’s official trip to Afghanistan — unless she wants to "fly commercial"
The details of Pelosi’s trip had not previously been made public,
reportedly due to security concerns. According to Hammill, the delegation of lawmakers was planning on stopping in Brussels, Belgium where there was a scheduled meeting with North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies, as well as military leaders. Contrary to Trump’s letter, the delegation was not planning on going to Egypt.

Trump is talking about dropping out of NATO. We know that. Our allies are wondering what is going on.

“The purpose of the trip was to express appreciation and thanks to our men and women in uniform for their service and dedication, and to obtain critical national security and intelligence briefings from those on the front lines,” Pelosi’s spokesperson
Drew Hammill said. Hammill added that both Trump and a delegation of congressional Republicans also travelled abroad visit the troops during the government shutdown.

It's the job of the house to fund what the government does. It's also part of their constitutionally mandated oversight, which is also part of their job.
Trump is interferring with Congress doing it's job.
But most Republicans are such t@@ds that they don't even know what our government actually does.
They've spewed that "it doesn't work" and "they don't do anything" for so long, they actually believe their own ridiculous nonsense.
The reason Republicans constantly say government doesn't work is because they aren't smart enough to make it work. And when it works, their leaders can't loot the country.
Republicans are so dumb that when their leaders tell them tax cuts for billionaires is good for the country, they believe it.
