President Trump on Thursday appeared to deny military aircraft to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for a foreign trip just minutes before the congressional delegation was set to depart, in a stunning response to her call to delay the State of the Union address amid the government shutdown.
In a curt letter, Trump said her trip has been “postponed.”
“Due to the Shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has been postponed. 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 wrote.
“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 by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative.”
According to sources, the president pulled the plug on her aircraft as she was about to leave for her overseas trip. Her congressional delegation military aircraft was slated to leave at 3 p.m. ET.

We Love You Mr. President!!! We support you 100 percent!!
The gall of her to even schedule such a trip during the shutdown.
It’s totally real, the bus is heading back to the capital - LOL !!!
“Box of Rocks” Pelosi can ask her benefactor and admirer, Capo Soros, to pay for her fun trips, don’t ya think? She can take Soros Airhead protege Cortez with her. Birds of a feather and all that.
All Congressional trips by military aircraft have been postponed due to the shutdown. LOL
Why does the Speaker of the House even need to take such a trip????????????
WH: “Nancy has a standing invitation to negotiate at any time”
“You can’t use my House for your SOTU.”
“And you can’t use my air force for your junket.”
Long pause .... click!
She must be strutting around like an old wet hen. Madder than hell. Lol
He waited til they were already on the bus to drop the bomb LOL
><
Or bucked in for takeoff.
I just can’t stop smiling and laughing about this !
I wonder could the Taliban use someone like Pelosi or Schiff or do even THEY have their standards
True, what’s up with that? Without her being there in Washington, herding cats with her Democrats, there’s no way that any actions or negotiations towards resolving this would happen while she’s out of the country.
Which begs many questions, as to whether Nancy thinks it’s just fine to put everything on hold for another 8 days that she was scheduled to be out of the country.
Why aren’t they in DC doing their jobs? Nothing is more pressing than opening the gov’t.
I love it!
