Pelosi was right on postponing Trump's SOTU address.

She didn't, she suggested it might be a good idea. She can't shut it down even if she wanted to.

When the government is shut down is no time for political pageantry.

Trump telling Pelosi she and the other House members can't fly on military planes is childish and petty. Makes him look small.

Petty has been his thing.

Lol, sure, she's a real professional. What she did with locking Trump out of the SOTU speech was outrageous.

Can't Nancy just wiggle her nose ?

So this trip was to affirm the U.S.'s ironclad commitment to NATO and to get military assessments from those in the thick of it.

Now why would Trump want to cancel a trip to affirm our commitment to NATO?

Just wondering.

What kind of wishy washy response is this.

What an EPIC failure by Donald Trump.

there are several REPUBLICAN Congressmen who were going on this trip with Pelosi.

Wow, good catch on the NATO angle.

Close to a dozen republican congressmen and women were going on the trip, too.

Lol. They should stay in the US anyway while the government is shut down. Want to take flights on the taxpayer expense, get in a room, act like adults and find a solution all sides can agree on.

Outrageous is a political pageant of a speech on the State of the Union while the government is shut down.

If he thinks it is appropriate to carry on about how grand everything is while the government is shut down, Trump is free to give his speech from the Oval Office, or even the Rose Garden.

But standing up there and berating Representatives and Senators for not bending over for him seems a bit much.

She didn't do that. Posts like this help me understand why people are so accepting of lying politicians.
