President Trump on Thursday abruptly denied military aircraft to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for a foreign trip just minutes before the congressional delegation was set to depart, in a stunning decision that followed her call to delay the State of the Union address amid the government shutdown.


In a curt letter, Trump said her trip has been “postponed.”


“Due to the Shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has been postponed. We will reschedule this seven-day excursion when the Shutdown is over. In light of the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay, I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate,” Trump wrote.

“I also feel that, during this period, it would be better if you were in Washington negotiating with me and joining the Strong Border Security movement to end the Shutdown. Obviously, if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative.”



According to sources, the president pulled the plug on her aircraft as she was about to leave for her overseas trip. Her congressional delegation's military aircraft was slated to leave at 3 p.m. ET.

A senior White House official also told Fox News that all congressional delegation travel by military aircraft is now postponed.

An official said that “as soon as the president found out about the trip today, he took immediate action.” A source told Fox News that when moving to cancel Thursday's flight, the White House reasoned that the trip would keep Pelosi out of the country beyond next Tuesday night—when the next government pay period would occur.

"If she had gone on this trip she would have guaranteed that 800,000 federal workers would not receive their second paycheck because she would not have been here to negotiate any kind of deal," a senior White House official said Thursday.

B*tch should have cancelled the trip herself out of respect for the American workers not getting paid instead of worrying about the SOTU speech. It would only have been better if Trump would have waited until she boarded the plan before pulling the plug!

Not one of them should be doing anything until they get a deal done.

Why?
There's no reason for them to stop doing anything.

No deal will be made between them, they both may as well carry on.

President Trump did not ground the old wind bag, he simply changed her transportation options.

And burned her to ensure any travel became a security risk.
If Obama had done that to McConnell you would have had a conniption.

What's your nonsense about commercial flight? She had a military flight that was cancelled. In a very public letter.

I haven't heard of her trying to schedule a commercial flight after that,and it wouldn't be wise to... Since it was publicly announced by the trump administration that she was looking to travel to the middle East.

Actually your dementia is clouding you perception. Trump showed his pettiness. Trump traveled to the middle east during the shut down. So he is lying like usual.

I don't think Trump has an issue with taxpayers footing the travel bills, he has had one or two Cabinet picks leave under accusations of abusing the flights/security/housing costs already.
This was more about the petty antics between him and Nancy, not cost of flights...in my opinion.

Yes, Pelosi's (BS) security excuse for not having the State of the Union address probably started the exchange. No matter what side you're on, it would have been rich to hear the Pelosi's response to hearing her trip was cancelled.

if this was Ryan vs Hillary, in the same circumstance...wonder what each side would be saying...this is all public muscle flexing...

our government is crippled and nothing is being done ... petty power-play squabbles are dominating the news...drain the swamp, indeed...

meanwhile, did Trump suborn perjury?

Still have not seen where a commercial itinerary was leaked. If it was then someone should be disciplined. Trump stating that they can go commercial is not a leak.

If it was truly that important to make the trip there was enough wealth on the boondoggle to rent a charter flight and not hurt anyone's wallet. Guess it was not that important.

And do any of you really think that Pelosi and her minions were going to fly commercial and process through the civilian side of of any of the Afghanistan airports and rub shoulders with Joe the goat fu@ker. Not a snow balls chance in hell.

Your average cbidder doesn't call the average Afghani a "goat fker".

You're an idiot if you're hiding behind calling this a "default defense".

You're being called a racist for the very specific thing you typed.

As for the discussion at hand, trump is the one that identified the trip, when his secretary of state released the letter. This generated the publicity surrounding the trip (normally not released until they are there) which caused any intent to fly commercial or charter privately.

It has been my experience through the years that the one doing the name calling is most like the name that they are calling someone else. Reminds me of my MIL.

Either way it does not change the fact that Pelosi and her minions were not going to fly commercial and process through the civilian side of any Afghanistan airport and rub shoulders with Joe the goat fu@ker.

This is awesome.

Congresswoman calls President Trump a motherfukker and Victor defends her.

But someone says goatfukker and they're racist.

Have you learned nothing from Areva Martin and her race baiting tactics??
