WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he would do an alternative event to the traditional State of the Union address before the U.S. Congress after House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent him a letter that her chamber would not sign off on the annual speech during the partial government shutdown.

“It’s a disgrace,” Trump said of Pelosi’s decision to block the address, initially scheduled for next Tuesday, during a White House meeting on border security.

Perfect!

He can rent out a hall and bring in MAGA hat wearers and can have record attendance for any SOTU. He likes that.

“I have broken more Elton John records, he seems to have a lot of records. And I, by the way, I don’t have a musical instrument. I don’t have a guitar or an organ. No organ. Elton has an organ. And lots of other people helping. No we’ve broken a lot of records. We’ve broken virtually every record. Because you know, look I only need this space. They need much more room. For basketball, for hockey and all of the sports, they need a lot of room. We don’t need it. We have people in that space. So we break all of these records. Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important.”

This is Trump saying he has no plans to end the shutdown before next Tuesday. Fed Employees take note. Just for planning purposes. Forewarned is forearned.

So...Reuters says it, so it must be true, eh?

I wonder...can anyone do Reuter's job and provide a quote of Trump saying he wants to do an alternative event?

But the president also appeared to walk back his earlier insistence of doing the speech at the Capitol, saying he would “do something in the alternative.” He wouldn’t immediately say more on his plans.
