President Trump sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Thursday afternoon informing her an upcoming taxpayer funded, military escorted trip overseas has been postponed.
"Dear Madame Speaker. 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 it totally appropriate. 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," President Trump wrote.
"I look forward to seeing you soon and even more forward to watching our open and dangerous Southern Border finally receive the attention, funding and security it so desperately deserves!" he concluded.

The trip was part of a larger congressional delegation through the Department of Defense and President Trump denied her military aircraft. According to Fox News, Pelosi was scheduled to leave at 3 p.m. eastern on Thursday afternoon. The letter was sent at 2:20 p.m. An Air Force bus is currently sitting outside House offices, waiting to take lawmakers to the airport. Many of them are on the bus.
Fox is told CapHill security officials got an emergency call from the Pentagon canceling the overseas trip due to shutdown. No one here knows if the trip is going to happen or not. Lots of confusion pic.twitter.com/eFCqsaNcGe— Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) January 17, 2019
Yesterday Speaker Pelosi wrote a letter to President Trump suggesting his State of the Union Address should be postponed. In the letter, she lied about the Secret Service being incapable to provide adequate security for the event.
With her frozen face how would you know?
One more facelift and Nancy will have a beard!
Call her a first class parasite.......living off the labor of working Amercans.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA! I think you might enjoy this very brief video clip mocking. https://twitter.com/DCCogan/status/1086013020214456322
yep, Senate SOTU, here we come. :)
Oops, not enough room? Dems can stand out in the hall. Thank you, buh bye.
So happy to read this. Also love what he wrote, calling her trip an “excursion”..
Maybe she planned on several special stops to make promises and pick up some special cash donations.
“Is she looking a little teary eyed?”
Botox.
Getting closer folks.
Time to get ready.
Yep, the House is Pelosi's turf and she would be able to provide ample antics. Better off in the senate. I'd say no guests, except for the President.
Who in the world would ever want to visit with this demented old bag? She can stay put or pay for it herself. This tax payer has no interested in funding her anywhere but to hell.
DUMMIES UNDERGROUND has an article that says Pelosi’s trip was to obtain “critical national security” info....
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
don’t forget about the pea sized brain encrusted with bs libtard craze in an essence needing slaves and votes
“The letter was sent at 2:20 p.m. An Air Force bus is currently sitting outside House offices, waiting to take lawmakers to the airport. Many of them are on the bus.”
LOL! Holy...
“critical national security” info...
Now, she works for CIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROFL!!!!!!!!!!
This made my day. She has her nerve trying to run off on some junket while this problem is going on.
I guess the Harpy won’t be getting free top shelf liquor on this trip. In two years the last time she was speaker she ran up a $100K liquor bill on AF planes. I am glad President Trump did this. San Fran Nan can buy her own liquor.
And she’s had WAY more than a double dose of it!
“”Is she looking a little teary eyed?””
Impossible! You would have to be human to have feelings and tears. She’s not human. Remember what her own daughter said about her - what mother would take that as flattery and not an insult if not downright dislike/hatred? “She’ll cut you and you won’t even know you’re bleeding.” I wouldn’t want to have that kind of reputation with my own children!
