President Donald Trump says he will do an “alternative” event since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has blocked him from giving his State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress while the government remains partially shut down.
Trump at the White House Wednesday said the cancellation was a “disgrace.” He did not detail his next move, saying: “We will be announcing what we’re doing.”
The California Democrat told Trump in a letter Wednesday the Democratic-controlled House won’t pass the required measure for him to give the nationally televised speech from the House floor on Tuesday.
Trump said he was planning a “really important speech” and called Pelosi’s move a “great blotch on the country that we all love.” He argued Pelosi was blocking him because she doesn’t want to hear “the truth” about border security.

Donald Trump Is Reportedly Preparing Two State Of The Union Speeches, For Different Audiences
One will be the more traditional address to Congress and the American people, the other is intended for a campaign rally.
Donald Trump is preparing two State of the Union addresses, one the more traditional address typically delivered to Congress and to the American people, the other intended for a later campaign rally, ABC News is reporting.
Traditionally, the president delivers his annual State of the Union at the end of January. However, with the partial government shutdown now in its fourth week — and being unlikely to be unresolved by the scheduled date of the address, January 29 — a cloud of uncertainty hangs over the speech.
In fact, it remains unclear how or where the president will even deliver his speech. Traditionally the speech is given before both houses of Congress. However, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has delivered a letter to Trump, asking him to tone things down in light of the ongoing partial government shutdown — perhaps instead giving the address from the Oval Office. She argued that this suggestion would cost less money for security, and would make for less of a spectacle in light of the harsh realities of the shutdown.
Regardless, Trump is moving ahead in preparing his speech — two of them, actually.
So far, the content of both speeches remains under wraps. But as for the first, it appears that Trump is at least considering rejecting Pelosi’s suggestion of a more toned-down address, instead moving forward as if he’s going to deliver the speech from the floor of Congress.
As for the second State of the Union speech, Trump plans to deliver it to a campaign rally outside of Washington, D.C. It remains unclear, as of this writing, when or where that is to happen.
Trump had said he would not leave Washington during the shutdown. He has since gone to Iraq, Texas, New Orleans, and Delaware (Delaware was to honor US soldiers killed in Syria).
