This is too f*cking funny. Citing the government shutdown House Speaker Nancy Pelosi threatened to cancel President Trump’s State of the Union Address, so he turned around and cancelled her foreign trip, also citing the shutdown. Naturally liberals who thought Pelosi was being courageous are outraged at the President, because that’s how being full of shit works.
Yesterday, this happened:
BREAKING: Speaker Pelosi sends letter to President Trump suggesting they postpone his State of the Union address until after the government has been reopened, or deliver the address in writing, a practice that was common in the 1800s and early 1900s. pic.twitter.com/xqgbJUzCXe

And today Trump struck back using Pelosi’s words against her:

Nobody out trolls the Prez.
Pelosi and a bunch of democrats were supposed to fly to Brussels and then Afghanistan for a photo op with our troops, but Trump, who is the Commander-in-Chief, won’t allow the military to be used for such an unimportant mission like this. The dems can still fly commercial if they pay for it themselves and find a carrier that goes into active war zones like Afghanistan.
What makes this truly hilarious is that the democrats were in a bus on the way to fly out when they were informed the trip was off. The Hill reports:
A group of House Democrats were sitting on a U.S. Air Force bus waiting to leave the Capitol grounds when the announcement was made and walked off after it became apparent the trip would not go forward, according to reports.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who had planned to go on the trip, said Democrats were set to reassure allies that “on a very bipartisan basis our commitment to NATO is strong,” amid reports that Trump is eyeing an exit from the alliance.
And while the liberal media loved that Pelosi cancelled the SOTU yesterday, today they were not amused by Trump cancelling the democrats’ unimportant trip. Nobody was hit harder than CNN’s Jim Acosta:
Video: Behold the latest Jim @Acosta meltdown! He lost his mind over Trump cancelling Pelosi’s overseas trip, calling it a sign that D.C. is ‘a playground’ and that Trump’s being ‘childish’ and ‘not really a serious response’ pic.twitter.com/r7MekcGFxr

If anyone know about childish behavior it’s Jim Acosta.
Many on the left pointed out that Trump went to visit the troops during the shutdown like these things are equal:
The President traveled to Iraq during the Trump Shutdown as did a Republican CODEL led by Rep. Zeldin. (4/4)

So basically Trump:
-capitalized a bunch of random words
-misspelled “madam” as “madame”
-invented a stop in Egypt
-called visiting troops overseas a “public relations event” weeks after he himself went to Iraq— Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) January 17, 2019
Trump traveled to Iraq, Louisiana and Texas during the shutdown. And he kept his Iraq trip secret until he landed.

Guess what? The President of the United States and the Speaker of the House are not equal and they have different authority as laid out by the separation of powers in the Constitution. The House Speaker gets to invite or disinvite the POTUS for the SOTU address and the President is charge of the military.
When it became apparent that Nancy Pelosi was going to regain the Speaker’s gavel, the liberal media did nothing but run fluff pieces about how smart and touch she is and she must have believed this bunk. She tried f*cking with Trump and he absolutely nuked her. She’s an amateur as well as being a senile old kook. Once again Trump wins and he’s going to come out on top in the shutdown fight too.
