1. SOTU

Sidebar issue in the grand scheme of things. Trump can simply give the Speaker post-it notes, to meet the Constitutional requirement.

2. Shutdown.

Only gives back pay to federal employees. Foreign aid, money to Planned Parenthood, etc. are still cut off.

President Trump decided to postpone because Pelosi said to do so. He didn't have to cave. He can give SOTU wherever he wants and just send a copy of the speech to Pelosi.

President Trump repeatedly swore not to end the shutdown unless he got border wall funding only to fold like a cheap suit.
