President Trump has a contingency plan if Nancy Pelosi refuses to let him give the State of the Union. Fox News reports:
The White House is still planning to move ahead with next week’s scheduled State of the Union address, but the details remain up in the air after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi strongly urged the president to delay the speech or submit it in writing amid the government shutdown fight.
According to multiple sources, it remains unclear whether the address scheduled for Jan. 29 will in fact go forward, or what venue it would be in. The White House is even planning for the possibility of a speech outside of Washington.
“We are still in a holding pattern,” one senior source said.
But Fox News has learned that the White House sent a letter to the House Sergeant at Arms asking to schedule a walk-through for next week’s planned address. This comes after a previously scheduled walk-through last week was canceled at Pelosi’s request.
This would be an unprecedented move and show just how disfunctional Washington DC is. Holding it in the Senate chambers is always an alternative.
God bless Trump! Are they planning on hurting him physically if he gives the talk?
Why cant he call the speech something else and give anywhere he wants.
arenasman, Please don’t inviters any Democraps and that will eliminate much of the security concerns. They are all nuts you know. Lord , Please help us in our hour of need.
I would like to see Our President give the SOTU address In the Senate Chambers. We definitely want to hear what you have to say. This would be the safest place for all attendees. Please do not invite Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumner .
Mr. President, give your speech, since when does Pelosi dictate when and where the State of the Union speech be presented. Mr. President she needs a good rebuking. Give your speech in the oval office. we the people need to hear all the things you have done. The media isn’t gonna tell us, and if they do they’re gonna lie. I’m stand be hind you, as so many other’s.
The President has a Constitutional obligation to give to the Congress information of the “state of the Union’. and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.
He may on extraordinary occasions convene both Houses, or either of them..
since Pelosi does not want to be bothered, I would suggest that the Present convene the Senate and present his address there.
i am a small business owner starting my 50th year . i must say that this last year was not only productive but customer moral was the highest i have seen in many many years. keep up the good work mr. president
I think he should give it from the steps of the hall of Congress, or from a portion of the border where they found 20 some odd bodies. No crisis huh!
I think he should give the SOTU speech from the Oval Office! It would be a good place to show the President’s strength and also a great way to avoid the gloomy, stares from the Democrats. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD HE AGREE TO CANCEL THE SPEECH!
I am so sick of Pelosi & Schumer!! They have both been in office for over 30 years, & think everyone should do what they say!!! They both need to retire before they destroy the southern states because of the wall!!! Trump just needs to do an executive order & get it built!!! I want to Thank all the Border Patrol for all they do. I live in Arizona, so this is close to home!!! God Bless You All!!!
Trump needs to get someone to look at all the dems that have walls around their houses take pictures and let the American people see them.Pelosi has a wall to protect her but doesn’t support a wall to protect the American people. Double standard! It’s all politics and 2020. Pelosi is just a power hungry polition with the on set of dementia .
totally agree, WITH bARRY!
What the heck is wrong with using the Senate for the speech. Isn’t the Senate the other half of Congress. Or do it from the White House and don’t invite Pelosi so she can stay in the House which Pelosi insists she owns. As for security, baloney, security would love to be there because they will get paid for being there eventually. And like all security they will be in the middle of history and be able to tell everyone they were there and I would bet the security there that night will be on the ball more so because of the hate the democrats are building up in this country.
So this Nancy is now in FULL control of half of the Legislature body without any votes. So the President takes orders from her as well. I hope not.
The President is welcome to hold the SOTU address in my front yard if it pleases him. My Democrat neighbors might be displeased, but then, life is hard and then you die.
This is the People’s House NOT Pelosi’s house!
Well, Russell, until somebody literally smacks the ______ out of her, she will continue to think and act like it IS !
if she will come to my house she would most likely get that because cannot stand her worse than me
sorry the “people” have conceded control to Nancy-without a fight!! Such is the GOP today-RINOs!
You are so right she needs to get this that the President is our LEADER NOT HER.
That witch has some nerve to stop the President from telling the people of this country the state of our union!!!!
You DO mean TRYING to stop the President, don’t you ?
Hard to imagine Trump caving in to anything Pelosi would say. Please give the speech in your office, Senate or any other venue. Pelosi might be better served reining in Alexandria OC or perhaps she is the pioneer taking the arrows until the Dems are finised with her????
Just about a week to a week and a half before the Demd didn’t fund the wall, Soros two sons were at the capital and had pictures taken with Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Senator Flake, Senator Booker in separate pictures. Gee, That really makes me wonder if they talked to them about OPEN BORDER or THE ONE WORLD ORDER ?
THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED DON’T YOU THINK
Sounds like Soros wants to be kingpin with Pelosi and Schumer at his heels.
I agree, someone should investigate those low life’s, their money doesn’t make them high class. Old man loves to destroy countries. he said so himself. when he first came here to the USA, on TV no less.
One world order???? The idiots that want that have forgotten the SUPREME ruler, or maybe they are so superior they ignore HIM. They will lose.
you cannot comment to a heartless wanna be, but you can not acknowledge her, and see how she feels about being ignored………She is a waste of human flesh, but all we can do is wait for Gods Plan to come full circle, and I don’t think it is going to be pretty or nice………….God rules, God judges……..Whatever his will may be.
We were warned that Satan would come to full power before the end. We are living to see the start of the end and only faith will sustain us!
The real joke, ‘pigliosi’ considers herself catholic! She’s about as Catholic as a box of doorknobs. I’ surprised she’s not been excommunicated and refused the sacraments. !n school the nuns told us about and warned us about ‘false Catholics’ who’re actually satan. This waste of air and DNA and no good anti American bitch is th devil incarnate. This describes the deatroyer of San fFrncisco, her senate district, to start. There’s a lot more but I think this is a good start.
He should give the SOTU address from the Oval Office, from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial or on the Whitehouse south lawn.
Either option would probably give the speaker of the house a well deserved coronary.
Terrible. Just terrible. Who does Nancy thinks she is? She wants to President without an election. The dems are just awful —it’s almost a new religion with MSNBC and CNN as the high priest. Guaranteed, the dems will win the White House by 50 millions votes, all from South America and beyond! Crazy, just crazy.
Who the heel does this no goood POS think she is? As I recall the President trumps ths speaker, pun intended. President Trump should giive the state of thr union address where he wants to do it, end of argument, period! How much longer will the American peopple tolerate this ‘dog and pony’ show that’s become of washington and thr house or reps. I just herad ‘nasty’ nancy ‘pigliosi’ refuses to let President Trump give the speech. gee i didn’t know ‘pigliosi’ became the leader of the USA. Time long overdue to get rid of this liar, thief, destroyer of California and ‘all for me and F**K America as long as i live my Champagne luxury lifestyle an and rot’ by any and all means possible, for the survival of America.
President Trump should hold the SOTU on the front lawn of the White House in the rain, snow, or sunshine! Surely the Trump Administration can schedule enough chairs to place on the lawn for the guests and dignitaries and this way avoid having to navigate an appeal to Presidentriss Pelosi’s invitation! And additionally, there will be no reasons for boycotting the SOTU except for pettiness and not some lame excuse about traveling so far from DC!
Mr. President, North Carolina would welcome you with open arms. Show Nancy that you don’t need her. She is the scum of the earth and as low down as they get. You are the best President America has ever had.
Right up there with Reagan—-maybe better.
Surely better if you were in my shoes. Reagan was the one that made my life miserable with his WEP. If you don’t know what that is it’s the regulation that took Social Security spousal benefits form teachers and 2/3 of any SS they had earned before teaching. I am not against the idea itself. However, I only taught 17 years for which I got only a $1100 pension. When my husband died and I get no spousal benefits and they took 2/3 of my own earned before teaching I am actually in poverty. I have been living off my house with reverse mortgage but that has just run out this month. I go without heat all winter to save. I use very little electric to save and many other things. WEP should have set an amount of pension before it would apply.
The president has the right to call a joint session of Congress. He should call one for the 29th as scheduled for the state of the union address. No guests of any congressmen or senators should be allowed. In this way way can keep the left wing it’s out, except for the New Democrat members. They probably won’t show up anyway, but the seargent at at arms should be backed up by beefy big guys to throw any disrupters out, and I mean into the river, no flotation other than their fat heads.
Hold the SOTU speech anywhere except the House of Representatives. Hold it in the Senate and let the American people see what petty obstructionists Nancy Pelosi and her anti-American cohorts are. I can’t stomach Pelosi standing behind the president scowling and adjusting her dentures as she did last year. The Democrats made fools of themselves with their “Walking Dead” response to everything the president said.
MR PRESIDENT HOLD IT IN THE SENATE ! WE DO NOT WANT TO LOOK AT PELOSIS FACE !
Everything Pelosi or Schumer say I would do the opposite, Mr. President I’m sure you know that
Based on the Democrats Brain Dead Zombie Response from the last SOTU, I think this is a great opportunity to exclude them and all their disruptions and distractions. The President should have the SOTU Address in a positive environment so his important message isn’t disrupted. He could cure cancer and eradicate all sickness from the planet and the LYING LOCKSTEP MEDIA WOULD CONTINUE TO READ THEIR CIA FED TELEPROMPTERS. FAKE, FAKE, FAKE NEWS PROFESSIONAL AND PERPETUAL LIARS!!
Pelosi is dividing her own party!! This is not a good sign! The Dems are so full of hate and violence and continue their attacks on Trump every hour, every day! So disgusting and childish!!
‘nasty’ ‘pigliosi,’ S**T faced schumer and all the other liberals are the best thing to guarantee the demise of their party and President Trump’s relection in 2020. these no good anti American wastes of air and DNA are the best evidence for getting rid of them. God please enlighten the American people before it’s too late!
Hold it somewhere, anywhere. I have no idea how many people support President Trump, but I know I do. It is time that he addresses the we the people of the United States of America and force Pelosi and her criminal Democrats to either walk out or not show up. Either way, I will be pleased.
I think President “trumps” Speaker of the House… if he wants to come down to the House and give a speech he doesn’t need her permission. Personally, I’d rather see him give it at the Redskins stadium (the owner is a big Trump supporter) 80,000 Trump supporters and 250 or so Democrat Congressmen surrounded by them… Maybe, just maybe, they might start to realize they are on the wrong side of just about every single issue today.
Perfect idea. Trump knows stadiums….everyone luvs the rally’s. Just treat it like a rally!
I don’t care if its from a carwash! America needs to see how these obstuctionists(not really ant kind of functioning representative) are NOT doing their jobs! Jesus Christ! Get with it! I’m a janitor and I can do a better job!
I believe you could……..I think Pelosi was concerned about security…….. the entire g overnment would be in ono room….. and a lot of our security folks are not working………If you think about it logically, it might scare you……..only takes one crazy person to create a lot of damage……
