Trump turns French Surrender Monkey on SOTU

Timothy Birdnow

Donald Trump turns into a French surrender monkey.

According to the Ass Press, the Orange Peril has given in to Nancy P. and will cancel the State of the Union address.

Trump stated: "no venue that can compete with the history, tradition and importance of the House Chamber.”

Trump also tweeted:

"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.”

The Speaker of the House is not Constitutionally tasked with determining when and where the State of the Union address is delivered, last time I checked. All she can do is deny the use of the House chamber. Trump should have simply ignored the House and delivered his address to the Senate.

Strange; Nancy is prohibiting Trump from entering her domain, in order to prevent Trump from prohibiting illegal gatecrashers from entering the domaine of the United States. Trump ought to go to the chamber anyway and try to force entry, then when Nan raises a stink ask her why she hates his immigrating there so much. Seems she doesn't like her own ox being gored, but is happy for the rest of us to take it.

Pelosi doesn't want Trump delivering the address at all, because it would put a great deal of pressure on the Democrats to make a deal. The President's favorability rating always rises after the State of the Union, and she knows it. Also, moderates in her own party would feel that a compromise should be reached. Trump is making a tactical error here. Donald Trump must make it clear Nancy Pelosi is not the President. He's failing to do that by caving.

Donald Trump has caved on any number of things. He has failed to drain the swamp, appointing numerous insiders to his administration and to important positions elsewhere. His two Supreme Court nominations have both been lifelong Washington insiders, for example. His Treasury Secretary came from Goldman Sachs aka "Government Sach" because that corporation has dominated top government slots since FDR. He appointed Rex Tillerson, the man who made the Boy Scouts go gay. He appointed a slew of Generals who had ties to the Obama Administration. And he has surrendered on numerous campaign promises. What happened to "repeal and replace"? What happened to "lock her up:? These were promises made by Trump he has conventiently forgotten.

But the Wall is all, and if he fails to deliver on this he is finis. He knows it, I suspect. But he's starting to waffle, and with the Democrats waffling is a sign of weakness and, like sharks in bloody waters, they will go into a feeding frenzy. They do not see this as extending the hand. Trump still has to learn that there is no working with them; they have to be beaten.

Dana comments: I don't see Trump's action as surrender. I see it as high-stakes poker. A number of Democrats in the House are supposedly pressing Pelosi to open negotiations with the President; they don't like the current stalemate. It looks to me like Trump's actions are just more pressure -- from a different direction -- to get Madam Speaker off Square One. You might say that Trump is trying to catch a fly with at least a modicum of honey rather than a cup of vinegar here -- something he's shown a real talent for.

If Mme. Loud-Speaker doesn't respond, he can easily take his offer off the table. We've seen him do that before, too. Give him a chance.
