Nancy Pelosi and President Trump continue to clash
The drama between Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, and President Donald Trump continues to spiral, but this time over the president’s annual State of the Union address.
On Jan. 16, Pelosi suggested that Trump cancel or delay his address slated for later this month, citing security concerns.
In response, the president released a letter telling Pelosi that she could no longer use the military aircraft for her scheduled trip to visit American troops in Afghanistan.
Trump wrote, “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.”
In addition, the president mentioned Pelosi’s time would be better spent in Washington negotiating with him to end the ongoing government shutdown.
Despite the pushback, both Michigan and North Carolina have invited Trump to give the State of the Union from their capitals.
