Beautiful, Presidential, polite letter. Calling old Nan’a bluff with the iron fist/velvet glove maneuver.
There has been a lot of backlash on her trying to keep the SOTU from happening in the House. ‘We the People’ have been outraged .... I’ve seen a LOT of comments to the effect that “it’s The People’s House” not San Fran Nan’s, even if as Speaker, she controls who can be on the floor.
Win - win for Trump. If she doubles down, she looks worse than she does now. If the Dems vote to not have him in the House (joint resolution needed, House & Senate), then they look horrible ... obstructive, resistant worse than they look already.
If he gives the speech in the House, the optic of Pelosi having to sit politely behind him is priceless (before any of her facial tics, twitches or nasty looks). If the Dems on the floor boo, turn their backs, or walk out ... bad optics again.
Win-win. I love this President, bigly.
And this presents a problem for the media as well. Will they set up in the House, or the Senate, or somewhere else? Last minute.
