Pelosi, D-Calif., was scheduled to travel to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan for seven days, but Trump informed Pelosi in a letter Thursday the trip was canceled.

letter to Speaker Pelosi Concerning her upcoming travel:

"Due to the Shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has been postponed," Trump wrote. "We will reschedule this seven-day excursion when the Shutdown is over."

“In light of the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay, I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate,” Trump added. “I also feel that, during this period, it would be better if you were in Washington negotiating with me and joining the Strong Border Security movement to end the shutdown. Obviously, if you would like to make your journey flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative.”

I can never imagine a President Romney or a President McCain doing this.

Trumps identified clearly what Pelosi’s doing with her security letter on SOTU.........by canceling HER trip he’s exposing her childish game.

“And the bus was waiting outside Congress and due to depart at 3pm. Trump sent the letter at 14:30 [2:30 pm]. A masterstroke. Lawmakers were already sitting on the bus and now it’s cancelled.”

It just doesn't get any better than that. Other than having Nancy try to deny the POTUS access to the House Chamber for the SOTU speech, that will never happen.

And just enough time for Rush to tease the story before the end of his show :-)

Why would Pelosi and a bunch of other Democrats be stupid enough to leave the country during a government shutdown. If somehow some deal were negotiated, their vaunted 800,000 employees would have to endure 1-2 extra days of starvation until the Queen returned to cast her precious ballot.
