Trump Thought Pelosi Was Bluffing

“White House officials were caught off guard Wednesday by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi formally disinviting President Trump from giving his State of the Union address from the House chamber, leaving them scrambling for a response,” CNN reports.

“White House officials had believed Pelosi wanted only to postpone Trump’s State of the Union for political reasons after she sent a letter to him last week asking him to delay the address until after the partial government shutdown ended. The plan from administration officials was to call her bluff by pressing forward with plans to deliver the speech, including a new letter on Wednesday that they hoped would force her hand.”

“Now they’re left exploring alternative venues.”

1. Don't ever call Pelosi's bluff.

She'll pants you, take your lunch money and stuff you in your locker before you know what hit you.

22. She wasn't bluffing.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. Exactly. And Tiny didn't realize that.

So she pantsed him.

[More_Cowbell]

31. Because he's always bluffing. He thinks everyone is. nt

[FakeNoose]

29. She gave him a wedgie

... an atomic wedgie - for all to see.

2. Over and over I see Trump assuming people are just like him.

And he's wrong. Speaker Pelosi has principles to ground her, and a feeling for not messing up government by setting bad precedents.

He thinks everyone, like him, is greedy, unprincipled, motivated only by political self interest.

5. trump is guilty of projection

trump assumes that everyone is a coward like himself and so will back down if confronted. trump is an idiot and Nancy Pelosi was not bluffing

[Cha]

4. Now they get it.

6. Why bluff when she's holding all the "trump" cards

[ChubbyStar]

25. You WIN the thread

7. Trump needs the SOTU desperately

He bluffed because that’s what he always does. He watched his poll numbers like they’re a bag of Filet O Fish sandwiches. He freaks out when they go down and they’re going down. He was counting on the SOTU to give him a bump like it usually does for Presidents.

Nancy knew just what would hurt his fragile ego the most.

She has other cards to play too.

9. He is not used to a woman equal in political power, let alone one who

Is an expert in statecraft. He just doesn't have that knowledge I expect

[tanyev]

10. Bet he was planning to use the SOTU to blame Dems to their faces for the shutdown.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. No doubt.

And to accuse them of inviting MS-13 to come across the border and rape everybody because they won't approve his vanity wall.

14. Miller was writing State of the Union address to blame Democrats for shutdown

15. +1. A hate speech for his cult

[Generic Brad]

18. Is he writing it with the same burnt sienna crayon he used to color his head?

[brush]

28. Heehee! Sounds like a painter is in the house.

I though maybe raw umber, or that spray on stuff of little pellets that clings to the strands rapidly receding backwards on his head.

[tanyev]

19. Ha! Thought so. And he would have been fired up for a speech where he got to attack people.

Republicans would have been popping up every three seconds for standing ovations. Makes me nauseous just to think about it.

[pangaia]

24. Is he really a person?

Looks like he could be the robot voice on some Yahoo news "video."

[NBachers]

34. "pulled the rug out" - get it??

39. If there is any justice in the world, this evil creep will spontaneously combust.

He is pure poison. And now he is pure poison without any more gatekeepers to prevent him from influencing the gigantic moron who happens to be the most powerful man on the planet.

[SunSeeker]

21. Yep. If he decides to do it from the Senate, no Dems should show up. nt

[Hekate]

11. Mme Speaker heads a CO-EQUAL branch of government. Clockwork Orange has never ever understood...

...what that means. I wonder if he is capable of learning.

[dalton99a]

16. We are ruled by a so-called president who doesn't know the first thing about American government

A so-called businessman who knows nothing about management, business, or trade

He's nothing but a low-life con man, a cowardly bully and a thieving traitor

And Republicans put him there

[GulfCoast66]

17. The White House is being run by Incel's like Miller,

And serial sexual abusers like Trump.

The first fanatisies that women will do his bidding and the latter have surrounded themselves with women in a position of no power.

No wonder they are surprised that there are women stronger and smarter than them.

I would love them to meet my wife. After 32 years together our relationship is built on trust, honesty, shared values and fun. And a little bit of fear on my part!!

To bad they never knew women like that!

20. Never piss off an Italian woman

EVER!


You should have called me Trumpy. I would have explained that to you.

[SunSeeker]

23. LOL

[Gothmog]

37. That is very good advise

[Xipe Totec]

26. To: POTUS, From: Nancy, Re: SOTU, Dear Don, STFU! nt

[Ace Rothstein]

30. Pelosi knows the second rule in a crisis situation.

[NastyRiffraff]

32. Trump isn't used to a strong Speaker

Look at what he dealt with before, the somehow upright amoeba Paul Ryan. He has no idea how to act. A tweet from someone who knows:

33. Only half right so far.

This took about a week from the first letter saying to postpone. How many more weeks before they realize she isn't bluffing about the wall?

The senate republicans could end this.

[DeminPennswoods]

35. CNN crawl was great

"Trump dared Pelosi to cancel the SOTU. ... So she did"

[MrGrieves]

38. Now to place the cherry on top!

Now to place the cherry on top, whatever speech he does give wherever he does do it, I say the Democratic Response should be given from the house floor! They have the right to do so.
