If he agrees to postpone, he's backing down from a Dem Woman.

If he goes ahead, his ego will be in overdrive and it will play like a 2020 campaign rally.

To deliver a an address to a joint session?

No invitation, no SOTU, Trump cant just show up and demand to speak.

She controls the House. He can get McConnell to let him talk in the Senate. He can speak from the Oval. He can speak from a ballroom at one of his Hotels. He might even be able to get access to the Kennedy Center.

In a contained area, with lax security and something does happen this too will rest on their shoulders.
