Air Pelosi grounded for now

Trump Postpones Pelosi’s Upcoming Trip Abroad Citing Urgency of Shutdown Negotiations   "She found out on the way to the airport".
. . . "Wednesday, Pelosi wrote Trump recommending he delay the State of the Union address until the government re-opens. And now we know that was on the eve of a week-long trip abroad… in case there was any question about the gamesmanship here.
"Cue political posturing from all sides and hyperbolic claims of a pending Armageddon due to Pelosi’s trip being canceled." . . .
Breaking News Live was seething with anger over the President's actions:

 
Pelosi demands Trump postpone State of the Union address. This was a plea for Trump to "call Pelosi's bluff". I guess he did.
 
. . . " 'It was just two weeks ago Nancy Pelosi went to the floor and said, 'We're going to be transparent, we're gonna be a town hall, we're gonna allow debate.' She wants to shut down the debate because she knows the president will win this argument," Chaffetz said.
"He said he's proud of Trump for "forcing the issue" and demanding funding for border security, including his long-promised wall." . . .
 
. . . "Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) gave a biting answer that was dead right: Pelosi doesn’t want Trump to directly address the American people because then they will get a different message than the mainstream media will give them." . . .
 
Don Surber: Trump to Nancy: You're grounded . . . "She tried to stop him from meeting a constitutional obligation.
" He stopped a "public relations event."
" Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill tweeted, "The purpose of the trip was to express appreciation and thanks to our men and women in uniform for their service and dedication, and to obtain critical national security and intelligence briefings from those on the front lines."
" In other words, a public relations event.
" The Washington Post wrote, "Trump didn’t explain what authority he has to cancel Pelosi’s trip, but it would likely require the use of military aircraft controlled by his administration. He said Pelosi could fly commercial if she wanted to go forward with the visit."
" Article II, Section 2, says, "1: The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States..."
"What part of commander-in-chief do they not understand?" . . .

 
Chris Matthews: Trump’s Letter to Pelosi Made Democrats ‘Look Like Fools’ . . . "The segment concluded with Matthews and his guest debating over border security, with the host shockingly defending the need to secure the border, one way or another." . . .
