Salon: How Nancy Pelosi emasculates Donald Trump, explained
JANUARY 17, 2019
During the first two years of his presidency, Donald Trump enjoyed a subservient GOP-dominated Congress that usually offered him unconditional support. But that changed on January 3, 2019, when a new Democratic House majority was seated, Paul Ryan’s days as speaker ended — and Nancy Pelosi’s reign began.
The Washington Post’s Colby Itkowitz, in an op-ed Wednesday, praises House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for playing “hardball” with Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell during the partial shutdown of the U.S. federal government.
In a letter to the president, Pelosi asserted Wednesday that because of the shutdown, Trump’s State of the Union address should be postponed for security reasons.
“I think we should pass a continuing resolution to get the government back open,” Pelosi wrote in her letter. “Sadly, given the security concerns—and unless government re-opens this week—I suggest that we work together to determine another suitable date after government has re-opened for this address, or for you to consider delivering your State of the Union address in writing to the Congress on January 29.”
Pelosi’s letter, Itkowitz writes, “reads like a polite request. But like a mother suggesting her child help clear the table, Pelosi isn’t really asking. The brilliance in her latest move is that nothing will enrage Trump more than having a nationally televised speech where he gets to talk for 45 minutes about himself and his administration’s accomplishments taken away.”
