President Trump sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Thursday afternoon informing her an upcoming taxpayer funded, military escorted trip overseas has been postponed.
"Dear Madame Speaker. 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 it totally appropriate. 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," President Trump wrote.
"I look forward to seeing you soon and even more forward to watching our open and dangerous Southern Border finally receive the attention, funding and security it so desperately deserves!" he concluded.

The trip was part of a larger congressional delegation through the Department of Defense and President Trump denied her military aircraft. According to Fox News, Pelosi was scheduled to leave at 3 p.m. eastern on Thursday afternoon. The letter was sent at 2:20 p.m. An Air Force bus is currently sitting outside House offices, waiting to take lawmakers to the airport. Many of them are on the bus.
Fox is told CapHill security officials got an emergency call from the Pentagon canceling the overseas trip due to shutdown. No one here knows if the trip is going to happen or not. Lots of confusion pic.twitter.com/eFCqsaNcGe— Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) January 17, 2019
Yesterday Speaker Pelosi wrote a letter to President Trump suggesting his State of the Union Address should be postponed. In the letter, she lied about the Secret Service being incapable to provide adequate security for the event.

I was wondering where her chest hair was coming from ... now I know ...
How does it taste Nancy?
A Lovin’ Spoonful of your own medicine!
GWB would have thought about it, but Poppy would never ahve let him bark back to the Dems like this.
Who else wants to chip in for a one way ticket for her?
I think San Fran Nan found a turd in her crêpes dans du bouillon.
This is exactly why WE, the American people, elected Donald J Trump. Thank you, sir.
I think a Cessna 152 is about right for her.. she can meet the people in fly over country on refueling stops.
Good news for the day.
Awesome. Just awesome. This is one of those moments that reminds us why Trump won in 2016. He doesn’t play nicey-nice like all the other GOP politicians. It was like at the Kavanaugh swearing-in at the White House where instead of the we-won-so-lets-let-bygones-be-bygones sort of thing we’d expect to hear, he took the opportunity to completely blast the Senate Democrats for what they had tried to do.

when we attempted to reach one of those troops for comment we could not find one troop willing to talk to Pelosi.
And she was heading into a WAR ZONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope she doesn’t have to dodge sniper fire like Hillary and Webbs daughter did.
I’ll bet she is spittin’ mad!
Hope she doesn’t stroke out....
She’s not teary eyed... she is mad! She doesn’t allow anyone to cross her...she rules the house and the dems with a hard hand. .. they all bow. Then to have the one man she really hates. .. to dare say no to her...
She’s just plain mad... and look out.. she isn’t apt to get over this.. and the plots will worsen... but thank you Mr. President!! you didn’t flinch!
No. A 172 for her.
San Fran Nan may have a knife, but POTUS DJT has a larger knife and just as much an expert as she.
Smack down. God shot Mr. President. Watchful eye; she’s not yet down for the count.
“GROUNDED: Nancy Pelosi Tried to Go Overseas During the Shutdown,”
It was at least her second offense.
New House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic members of Congress attended the opening night of Hamilton in Puerto Rico with creator and original star, Lin-Manuel Miranda back in the lead, according to CBS News.
