Trump cancels Pelosi trip to Belgium, Afghanistan and Egypt​

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-shutdown-pelosi-idUSKCN1PB2HI
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump told House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday that her trip to Belgium, Egypt and Afghanistan had been canceled over the partial government that has run into its 27th day.... “Due to the Shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt and Afghanistan has been postponed,” Trump wrote in a letter to the top House Democrat. “We will reschedule this seven-day excursion when the Shutdown is over.”

Whoops, there are a lot of red angry faces at the airport right now. The Pelosi Congressional Delegation is stranded and cannot use military transport. Trump is allowing Pelosi and the Co-Del to travel by commercial air.

So since the last election.... vacation in Hawaii, political junket with lobbyists to a resort in Puerto Rico, then an overseas PR trip? Really? Shouldn't she be working?

 

[Deuce]

Until they get the country open for business again, she needs to park her ass right there in D.C. No farther than 10 minutes away from her desk.

What the hell is she thinking?

She can't make McConnell hold a vote. There's nothing more for her to do.

 

[Deuce]

I don't think so... Seems Pelosi is now land locked. In fact she can't even go home to her mansions in Kalifornia now unless she uses commercial airlines.

:lamo

Once again, right wingers prove what Trumpism really is based on. It's all about inflicting harm on one's perceived enemies.

She was going to Belgium to reassure NATO that she won't let Trump cut and run and Afghanistan to visit the troops and get first hand intel. The House supplies the funding for the war and it is the speakers job to oversee that spending. So Trump interfered with her job as speaker, an unprecedented move done in a most insulting way. You can forget her helping to bail Trump out of his shutdown or anything else for sure. You mess with the bull and you only get the horns.

Anything to distract from the looting and incompetence. It how dictatorships work too.

But now the enemy would know she and her delegation is coming on a commercial fight into a war zone without any military escort. Would that be wise?

I'm willing to risk it

He really is a Manbaby-in-Chief. :thumbdown

Don't worry, though--as the adult in the room, Pelosi will not be derailed by this stunt. :thumbs:

Pelosi? THE ADULT? The one who didn't know the Capitol Police and Secret Service were fully capable of providing security for SOTU speech?

Today proved that Pelosi is playing checkers while the game is chess. Nor CHEST.

I would not go that far but I do find it funny what he did to her. I say good for trump for giving her s taste of the same humiliation she has been trying to serve him a helping of.

Again over your head. Trump loves the poorly educated..

Trump loves them and Pelosi uses them to vote down the line on the democratic ticket

She has to give him something at least marginally passable which includes funds to open the govt AND make a down payment on the wall.

yeah, poor Nancy will have to flee Washington - on her government provided jet - and hunker down in her multimillion dollar mansion behind an immoral wall (that didn't work)

So Trump is going to fold soon? I thought he was in it for the long haul.

~~~~~~
Ye of no faith.... Trump isn't folding... He proved it today by playing the same game Pelosi and the Democrats have been playing.

All the above except for the gov't provided military plane. DJT just cut her corns on that one by citing security and use of military transport.

You should be hoping he will fold, the longer this goes on the sooner Trump will be out.

no, it wouldn't.

I want Trump to finish his TOD as elected by the 'People' and if they deem so elect him for another four years after that. Your hatred for America, it's citizens, especially Trump have no bounds...

I'm sorry for you too. Criminal activity disqualifies an elected President and it up to Congress to remove him from office immediately . It's in the Constitution. Tough luck for you. Next time don't support a crook.

The inept turd got his revenge, he weaponized the IRS.

Well, the government is closed thanks to its CEO.... might as well enjoy.

Meanwhile, she was the minority leader when she was in Hawaii, she did not go to PR (30 low level congressman did) and I guess she isn't going to visit the troops in Afghanistan after all.
