Trump hits back at Pelosi's State of the Union snub by canceling top-secret congressional trip to visit troops in Afghanistan as bus with bewildered lawmakers is turned round on way to the airport

President Trump cancelled House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's government-funded trip abroad on Wednesday as he slapped back at her for a request that he postpone his State of the Union address.
Pelosi has been scheduled to visit Brussels, Egypt and Afghanistan next week. She had already called off a congressional recess amid the government shutdown, and the House was due to reconvene on Tuesday of next week -- meaning she may not have been going on the trip anymore in the first place.
But Trump grounded her in a letter, regardless, that said he was taking the extraordinary step of 'postponing' her flights on a military jet.
“Due to the Shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has been postponed. We will reschedule this seven-day excursion when the Shutdown is over.”

Hilarious. (Unless you're a federal employee, but maybe so even then).
DRAIN THAT SWAMP!
MAGA
