Trump Cancels Pelosi's Brussels Junket

[angelatc]

Too funny. She and her Congressional delegation were set to fly to Brussels, Afghanistan, etc, today at 3 PM. Trump pretty much told her she can't use the government plane, and that she belongs in the US, negotiating.

Does this mean they are fleeing back to Puerto Rico for more partying?

They clearly are not interested in negotiating anything due to the illusion (delusion?) the shutdown is benefiting the Dems side. Time will tell, but what we don't have to wait around to determine is the spite and lack of any actual urgency by the house leadership to resolve the issue.

Fine with me.

For the vast majority of the country's history, the president did not give a state of the union speech to a joint session. The Constitution doesn't require it.

Evidently, the speaker is the one who invites the president to deliver the speech in person. Her letter is an excellent troll, which is why the white house has told other people (DHS, etc.) to respond rather than respond themselves. Whichever D staffer has been tasked with coming up with ways to annoy Trump, they are doing an outstanding job.

On Thursday afternoon, President Trump informed Speaker Pelosi (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/01/hah-trump-sends-letter-to-nancy-pelosi-informing-her-that-her-upcoming-travel-plans-are-postponed-due-to-shutdown/) her “public relations” trip to Afghanistan, Egypt, and Brussels has been postponed so that she can stay in DC and negotiate with him.The President canceled Pelosi’s flight (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/01/pelosi-grounded-house-speaker-finds-out-en-route-to-airport-that-flight-is-canceled-told-to-fly-commercial/) just one hour before she was scheduled to depart — Pelosi and other lawmakers were on the bus en route to the airport.Trump told her to fly commercial on her own dime.According to Fox News reporter, Chad Pergram, furious phone calls are flying back and forth (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/01/furious-calls-going-back-and-forth-from-the-hill-state-department-pentagon-and-white-house-after-trump-cancels-pelosis-flight/) from The Hill to the State to the Pentagon and White House.

Democrats will complain he should have cancelled earlier. Trump could say better cancel when boarding the bus rather than while in air.

Pelosi wanted to play hardball. Was this cancellation Constitutional? (Not that Trump or Pelosi care).

And with all of the hand-wringing and heart-bleeding from the left over the shutdown, Pelosi thought it would be a good time to go on vacation on the taxpayers dime? This highlights her folly.

[Brian4Liberty]

And let’s not forget that Trump cancelled his trip (Davos) that was previously scheduled.

That's because his trip was not as important as Pompeo/Bolton trips to meet with global allies.



Pompeo’s and Bolton’s magical misery tours

(Andrew Caballero-Reynolds)
Over the past week, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and national security adviser John Bolton conducted separate trips to the Middle East. They aimed to convince U.S. allies of the Trump administration’s commitment to their security and interests, no matter the president’s erratic rhetoric and decision to withdraw U.S. forces from Syria (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2019/01/07/what-happened-trumps-syria-withdrawal/). But it doesn’t seem that either Bolton or Pompeo achieved anything like success.
Bolton made stops in Israel and Turkey, while Pompeo conducted an eight-day tour that included a controversial speech Thursday in Cairo (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2019/01/08/yet-again-trump-targets-obamas-middle-east-legacy/). He used the address to attack the alleged misdeeds of the Obama administration and rattle the saber at Iran. Pompeo then called on a number of Arab monarchies before leaving for home from Oman on Monday.

But that single receipt makes up just part of the more than $101,000 taxpayers paid for “in-flight services” – including food and liquor, for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trips on Air Force jets over the last two years. That’s almost $1,000 per week.

After President Donald J. Trump’s epic cancellation of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s trip (https://bigleaguepolitics.com/president-trump-cancels-nancy-pelosis-overseas-trip-one-hour-before-flight/) abroad, he appears to have had her luggage, along with that of the Congessional delegation that was supposed to travel with her, delivered to her office in Congress.
“Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s luggage has been returned to the halls of congress by cart, according to a picture sent to the Washington Free Beacon by a snap-happy tipster,” Free Beacon (https://freebeacon.com/politics/picture-trump-returns-codel-luggage-to-pelosis-office/)said.

I do wonder if Pelosi figured out how to stay in Egypt for less than the 95,000 Melania trump cost us. I'd be alright forcing all gov officials to use an Airbnb and uber, act like the rest of us

Epic. That's really the only word to use for this masterful move. Good Lord! I don't think I've ever seen such a massive smack-down in the time I've been paying attention to politics.
Left her stranded on the bus and had her luggage delivered to her office door.
Pelosi thought she was above it all. That her position gave her anything she demanded.
And then she tried to board a military jet that flies at the whim of the Commander-in-Chief.
Kudos, Trump.

Trump And First Lady Make Secret Trip To Iraq To Visit U.S. Troops

President Trump and first lady Melania Trump traveled to Iraq to visit U.S. troops on the day after Christmas, an unannounced trip about which the president nonetheless had been hinting for some time.

The Trumps' arrival at Al Asad Air Base followed the president's recent orders to pull back on U.S. troop deployments elsewhere — orders that have come under intense scrutiny.

The trip to Iraq was announced on Twitter by press secretary Sarah Sanders. It's the president's first such visit since taking office nearly two years ago.

The president and the first lady spent about three hours at Al Asad, in western Iraq. Air Force One landed back at Joint Base Andrews outside of Washington, D.C. at 5:13 a.m. ET on Thursday.

Melania flies Government Air for her vacation. Should she have taken a commercial flight to save money during the shutdown? Should she stay in Washington with her husband?

First lady Melania flies to Florida on government jet after Trump postpones Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Afghanistan due to shutdown

First Lady Melania Trump flew to Florida on a government jet Thursday for a weekend vacation, hours after President Donald Trump dramatically postponed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip with other members of Congress to visit U.S. troops in Afghanistan, NBC confirmed, citing a law enforcement source.

President Trump cited the ongoing government shutdown as his reason for postponing Pelosi's travel plans, shortly before she and her team were scheduled to depart on a military plane.

While Pelosi was practically grounded by Trump's actions, the president's wife headed to Joint Base Andrews for her own trip on a military aircraft, NBC said.

The first lady is expected to be in Florida for the holiday weekend at her family's private Mar-a-Lago resort, according to NBC, which reported that the president is set to stay in Washington.

You know darned well they're not allowed to fly on anything except military aircraft. And nobody will expecting Melania to appear at the negotiating table, while the Pelosi trip guaranteed that the federal shutdown would last at least another pay period.
