Either bored or because he was bluffing, Trump blinks on State of the Union
State of the Unions are seldom this melodramatic. The invitation of President Trump, the subsequent disinvitation by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and the posturing in between dominated a week’s worth of news only to end late Wednesday night.
“As the Shutdown was going on, Nancy Pelosi asked me to give the State of the Union Address. I agreed. She then changed her mind because of the Shutdown, suggesting a later date. This is her prerogative -- I will do the Address when the Shutdown is over,” Trump tweeted at 11:12 p.m. when much of the East Coast was doubtless headed to bed.
“I am not looking for an alternative venue for the SOTU Address because there is no venue that can compete with the history, tradition and importance of the House Chamber. I look forward to giving a ‘great’ State of the Union Address in the near future!,” the president continued.
His supporters had insisted a strategic Trump was playing chess and a bumbling Pelosi, checkers. Last night the president seemed to pack away the board altogether.

Trump was playing tiddlywinks.
