Her letter: pic.twitter.com/ynvYgIkbZS— Quentin Hardy (@qhardy) January 23, 2019
“The State of the Union has been canceled by Nancy Pelosi because she doesn’t want to hear the truth,” Trump said. “She’s afraid of the super-left Democrats, the radical Democrats. What’s going on in that party is shocking.”
He added, “Now Nancy Pelosi, or Nancy as I call her, she doesn’t want to know the truth.”
He continued to unload on Pelosi.
“So Nancy Pelosi, knowing these facts and knowing that she can’t win, that she just went out and said ‘let’s cancel for the first time in the history of our country, let’s cancel the State of the Union address,'” Trump said. “It’s a disgrace. She used it on the basis of the shutdown. When she asked me to make the address formally in writing, most of you have a copy of the letter, when she asked me to make the address, she did it during the shutdown, well into the shutdown.”
He then called Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer a “puppet.”
“I think that Chuck Schumer sadly is dominated by the radical left and he’s dominated by Nancy Pelosi. Very strongly dominated. He can’t move. He’s a puppet. A puppet for Nancy Pelosi, if you can believe that,” Trump said.
He doesn't have a clue, does he?
You could fact-check some of that (the history of the SOTU is all wrong), point out he doesn't understand what the SOTU is, point out it isn't even canceled, just postponed. Why bother? He's clueless, a child in a man's clothes. If this doesn't prove it, what will? My favorite line is this one:
"Now Nancy Pelosi, or Nancy as I call her, she doesn't want to know the truth."
This from the guy who gives nicknames to everybody, and the best he can do is "Nancy, as I call her"? And since he can't bring himself to attack her, he attacks Schumer, who is "dominated by Nancy Pelosi," because that's the worst thing he can say about Schumer? And that has what to do with the SOTU, since McConnell is the man who can bring a resolution to the Senate, the very resolution Speaker Pelosi refuses to bring to the House floor.
He continued: “We just found out that she’s cancelled it. I think that’s a great blotch on the incredible country that we all love. It’s a great, great horrible mark. I don’t believe it’s ever happened before and it’s always good to be part of history but this is a very negative part of history.”
I dunno, which is worse? This cancellation, or the continued refusal to allow all of the government to function while he tries to negotiate his beloved border wall like a normal President would do?
The cute part is, he thinks there's something he can do about it:
Trump added: “We’ll have to respond to it. We’ll respond to it in a timely manner.”One can only imagine what he thinks he's going to do. Meanwhile, as another observer put it, on the matter of funding the wall:
“If the president put up a bill with permanent protection for Dreamers for border security money, it would pass,” said Todd Schulte, president of the nonpartisan immigration advocacy group FWD.us and a major critic of Monday’s draft bill. “If the president wants money for the wall, he knows how to get it.”
The problem is, the POTUS doesn't know how to get it.
