RUSH: Well, look at this. From Fox News. “President Trump today –” ha-ha-ha. You’re gonna love this. You are going to love this. President Trump today appeared to deny military aircraft to House speaker Nancy Pelosi for an upcoming foreign trip. This in response to her call to the latest State of the Union address amid the government shutdown.
“In a stinging and curt letter to Pelosi Trump said that her trip has been postponed. He wrote, ‘Due to the shutdown, I’m sorry to inform you 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’m sure you would agree that postponing this PR event of yours is totally appropriate. I also feel that during this period it’d be better if you were in Washington negotiating with me and joining the strong border security movement to end the shutdown. Obviously, if you’d like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative.’” That’s Trump’s letter to Pelos
See, folks, do you think Romney would ever send a letter like that? (laughing) McCain? Kasich? No way. You know what they would do? “Despite the fact that you have canceled my State of the Union, I want to show the country that we are reasonable people. And if you want to fly to those three places, we will gladly furnish you military aircraft.” And Pelosi would just say they just got suckered into letting me have what I want again. And they think they’re gonna be able to buy respect with this but they’re just a bunch of idiots and buffoons and they prove it every day.
And Trump says, sorry, you have to postpone your trip.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: By the way, folks, the Trump letter to Pelosi is legit. It is real. Trump denied her military aircraft to go on her seven-day trip to Brussels and Afghanistan and Egypt. Here’s the kicker. She was to leave today. And I think Fox News is covering this near the buses where Pelosi’s entourage was supposed to leave and head to the airport.
That letter I read is legit. He’s postponing her trip, sure she understands, government shutdown and so forth, she should stay in town to negotiate. There’s not a single other Republican with the gonads to even get close to doing this. It’s the real thing.
Click the pic to hear him say it to Judge Jeanine.
If the old buzzard flapped her wings as much as she flaps her gums, she’d be there by now.
Nancy Pelosi will ‘cut your head off and you won’t even know you’re bleeding,’ daughter Alexandra Pelosi says
Yes and poor Linda Graham has reverted into the neighborhood scold.
Trump is a liar. Look at that letter: Right off the top he calls her “honorable”. Please.
The president discharged the sewage right where it belongs! Right back on the steps of Pelosi Galore!
PELOSI is holding out for negotiations for a Supreme Court appointment who is liberal. Trump is on to their game.
Waiting for Jeb!, Susan Collins, and the rest of the ladies to come out and condemn this. Yes I know Lindsay has but it’s Thursday and maybe that time of month.
I am so dam- tired of all the weak Repubs like Graham, the media and the rest who assume that Trump did this to retaliate for the SOTU rebuff by Pelosi. It is being put out as fact, when in fact, it is not. Maybe Trump did this to keep her in DC to try to get the government open and to be able to negotiate and to have other members of congress there too. A Repub Speaker doing this would be crucified by the press if he/she was going on a trip like this, especially after her vacation in Hawaii and trip to Puerto Rico. The weak Repubs should be standing behind Trump instead of speaking like Graham and I’m sure soon Mittens.
I hope. The biggest problem this nation faces is the Rat/RINO uniparty that’s been selling out the country for decades. Trump solves that problem he will without one scintilla of doubt go down as the greatest POTUS in US history.
None dare call it “junket.”
Has anyone noticed that Donald Trump's signature looks like an electrocardiogram readout?
Only thing better would be to push her out of a flying plane.
Trump screwed up. He could have taken them over there and recalled the plane.
Powned!
Which Republicans are observing Trump and taking notes?
Seriously, Trump is showing how to win.
200 cowardly Republicans, but if only ONE in the future, learns and mimics Trump, that guy wins it all!!
REPUBLICANS, ARE YOU WATCHING !!!
“Trump is a liar. Look at that letter: Right off the top he calls her “honorable”. Please.”
NO, in DC Swamp parlance, that translates to POS!
