President Trump should tell House Speaker Nancy Pelosi he’ll refuse to give his State of the Union address until after the cloud of impeachment is lifted, one GOP representative urged Tuesday.
“President Trump should tell her ‘no games’ and tell her he'll deliver the State of the Union only after our country clears the divisive impeachment hurdle,’’ Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., wrote Tuesday on Facebook.
“It’s not just America watching the State of the Union each year. Tehran is watching. Hong Kong is watching. Taipei is watching,” Banks said in arguing that Trump should have a chance for a more unifying address.
Trump is slated to give the State of the Union speech on Feb. 4 -- just two weeks after his impeachment trial in the Senate is expected to commence.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, also said it makes sense for Trump to delay the address.
"Well, it's going to become awkward, isn't it? To be the president giving the State of the Union in a chamber where he's just been charged with high crimes and misdemeanors? It's not my decision to make, but I can see why that might be a consideration," Cornyn told The Washington Examiner.

I agree that he should wait. Save it for later.
To which Pelosi will reply, "Fine. You don't want to give the State of the Union address you don't have to give the State of the Union address" and won't invite him again.
Disagree. Trump should act as if Impeachment isn’t even happening and carry on in his duties.
Absolutely, if Pelosi objects Mitch McConnell can invite him to present it in the Senate.
No Delay. The grounds for impeachment are bogus. Just do “business as usual.”
so give Pelosi the power here? no thanks. enough surrender and retreat.
So?
The constitution only says he needs to inform those idiots, not be there in person.
Give it in a stadium to supporters, and send a written copy to the mental ward.
Well I am this camp. Having this BS over his head during the SOTU Address was part of the plan. Pelosi sent the invite right after the Impeachment vote. MSM is going bring it up every two minutes. Every point he raises will be prefaced with the impeachment crap in pre and post coverage. The F’n democrats live to inflict as much damage and misery as they can on the Trump presidency.
the impeachment has already happened, its on to the trial now
I want him acquitted so he can rub the Houses noses in it.
Unless it’s to take a shot at nancy pants.

He should go ahead with the SOTU speech and include exactly how well the country is doing even with the churlish and do-nothing House of Representatives acting ONLY on impeaching the President who has caused the country to turn around and accomplish in 3 years more than was accomplished in 8 years under the anti-American administration preceeding the current administration...
WRONG!
This is exactly what Democrats and squishy Repubs want.
Trump should proudly march into Congress and BOAST on how well the SOTU is doing. Thanks to him.
“where he’s just been charged with high crimes and misdemeanors?”
but he wasn’t charged with such.
Precisely. Let them talk Impeachment, while Trump is the adult in the room.
It’ll be settled as the bands start the Independence Day concerts in DC.
