Daily Mail: Trump says State of the Union address is 'CANCELED' after Nancy Pelosi defies his demand to speak to Congress next Tuesday – and he insists she's 'afraid of the truth'

* President Donald Trump accused Nancy Pelosi of 'canceling' his State of the Union address on Wednesday after a fiery exchange of letters
* She told the president he would only be welcome in Congress when the government shutdown is over
* He admitted shortly after that he would not be delivering his address, as planned, on Jan. 29 to a Joint Session of Congress
* He exploded on her in Oval Office remarks in which he said it's a 'disgrace' that she's interfering the annual tradition
* 'Well do something in the alternative,' he said. Trump told reporters the details of his new event would come at a later date
* Earlier in the day senior adviser Kellyanne Conway rule out a rally
* But that was before Pelosi's letter disinviting him

President Donald Trump accused Nancy Pelosi of 'canceling' his State of the Union address on Wednesday after a fiery exchange of letters in which she told the president he would only be welcome in Congress when the government shutdown is over.

He admitted shortly after that he would not be delivering the speech as planned on Jan. 29 to a Joint Session of Congress.

'The State of the Union speech has been canceled by Nancy Pelosi, because she doesn't want to hear the truth. She doesn't want the American public to hear what's going on. And she's afraid of the truth,' he said. 'The American people want to hear the truth. They have to hear the truth.'

Art of the deal - hold the government hostage until they cave and give you what you want; ie, the wall... - Trump

Pres. DEALS is all out of tricks. While the nation's demented grandpa fails miserably at gaslighting the country, the rest of the world looks on and laughs.

America has become a sick joke. Thanks gramps. Thanks MAGA CHUDS.

Truth: Putin cannot believe his good fortune. Europe is weakened due to Trump. France is forced to greatly expand its military and nuclear capabilities, or slowly acquiesce to Russian pressure. For China Trump is a puzzle. China benefits strategically from Trump's mishandling of Asia. China can easily exert more power if it wishes. But China economy desperate to keep American consumers wide open to their goods.

Anon, your embarrassing, faulty, conclusions reveal much about your foolish beliefs. No one dare laugh at trumps USA, they are too busy laughing at the stupid Democrats taking vacations in the sun as the government slows to a minimal pace. The MAGA supporters in 2020 will take the presidency again for Mr. Trump and people like you will go to jail for rioting. You young communists will be hit so hard you will grovel into your safe spaces and look for succor and smiley faces meant for children

To CHUDpunk:

Here's how this will probably go. Trump will declare a state of emergency and order the Army Corps of Engineers to begin construction of the wall. The Dems will immediately run to the 9th Circuit and halt the order. It will then squabble its way through the Appellate Courts to end up on the Supreme Court Docket right in time for the 2020 election cycle.

By then Ginsberg will have been replaced and the wall funding order will withstand SCOTUS scrutiny. The Dems will be the "Make America Mexico Again" party.

Re: the SOTU delay, with the declaration of emergency, the shutdown will end. Thereby satisfying the stated rational for Democrat intransigence. Trump will then be "welcomed properly" into the House Chamber for the State of the Union Address.

(wherein the Dems will promptly urinate themselves, making the SOTU a Kavanenaugh sequel with full on wailing and shrieking and banner waving)

BTW: Pelosi is an arrogant crone fighting for her miserable political life. She's got a legion of progressive fascists as her new Democrat freshman class. If it even looks like she caves in to Trump, she'll get her craggy ass tossed from her perch.

Her eyes seem to be bulging more than usual. Botox is her friend.

Donald Renfranz,

First off, Europe is weakened due to Europe. Their self-loathing citizenry and leadership is ever-inventing new ways to destroy their own nations. Dumping all their national treasury into cradle-to-grave socialist nets and opening their borders to accultural invaders. (open borders and a welfare state cannot exist simultaneously)

And Putin in not basking is good fortunes. His number one export; Russian natural resources (oil) is getting badly beaten out by US shale production. Severely reducing his leverage over Europe.

You are correct that China regards Trump as a puzzle, but only by accident. Trump has not "mishandled" Asia. Far from it. Opening Vietnam and talks with NorK. Plus Japan enhancing its Self Defenses do not help China. South Korea is bristling with the best Military in Asia.

The Chinese economic model of industrial theft and plagiarism is a house of cards. Their products are becoming more known for lesser quality and a tendency to infect their buyers with unwanted e-parasites.

Lara Trump, the wife of the president’s second son, Eric, was blasted by politicians, regular people and Meghan McCain and Joy Behar of “The View” for saying in an interview that federal workers should feel good about the “sacrifice” they are making by not getting paid during the government shutdown.

Throughout Wednesday, accusations poured in on Twitter and in other media that Lara Trump — who also is an adviser and spokeswoman for President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign — is a rich, privileged, out-of-touch socialite who can’t understand what it’s like to not be able to pay a mortgage, a child’s college tuition or health care costs.
