Trump says he will give State of the Union when shutdown is over
President Trump said Wednesday night that he will not deliver a State of the Union address during the government shutdown — hours after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi canceled the annual speech in the Capitol’s House chamber.
“As the Shutdown was going on, Nancy Pelosi asked me to give the State of the Union Address. I agreed. She then changed her mind because of the Shutdown, suggesting a later date. This is her prerogative,” Trump wrote in a tweet a little after 11 p.m.
“I will do the Address when the Shutdown is over. I am not looking for an alternative venue for the SOTU Address because there is no venue that can compete with the history, tradition and importance of the House Chamber,” he added.
The art of the deal obviously means to cave when anyone pushes back. They always say if you stand up to a bully they will back down. This guy isn’t a leader he’s just a blowhard bully
He didn't have. It appears that he did however by not giving the State of the Union in the Senate would lessen his status as President of the United States. That is what the Dems want. Postponing it can happen only once before American turns on Pelosi. My opinion. Trump needs our back people.
sorry to see him cave on this.
ReplyDeleteI think W VA would have been perfect or even Mi as suggested
hopefully he will come around and stand his ground
He'll give it when Nancy says he'll give it.

ReplyDeleteThis is actually a brilliant move. It puts the entire shutdown on Pelosi's plate.
