President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he was “not surprised” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had announced that he would not be allowed to deliver the State of the Union from the House chamber while the government is still shut down.

Trump seemed to learn the news in real time while answering reporters’ questions in the Roosevelt Room on Wednesday.

“I’m not surprised,” he said, after considering what he’d heard for a second. “It’s really a shame what’s happening with the Democrats. They’ve become radicalized. They don’t want to see crime stop, which we can very easily do on the southern border, and it really is a shame what is happening with the Democrats.”

“This will go on for the while,” he said. “Ultimately, the American people will have their way because they want to see no crime.”

1. If Americans "want to see no crime" then Americans want to see him out of office.

[Dave Starsky]

3. Nuff said.

[MissKat]

2. He looks like a tired and sick old man

Make no mistake, he has shut down the government because he wants to slow down "that Russia thing". It has to be driving him BONKERS that Nancy has a firm grip on Tantrum Trump. She knows how to handle toddlers.

She's been there. Not only does she have the tee shirt, she has the gavel.

And the power.

6. All he really wanted was a hotel in Moscow. Not this.

[truthisfreedom]

4. We definitely want to see no crime. That's why Mueller is cleaning up DC for us.

He's already found a lot of criminals. Who were working on 45's behalf.

5. talks like a 4 y.o.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

7. MOMMY!!! Nancy is being mean to me!

Big Girl Nancy Pelosi is treating Trump in the manner he treats others, but in a more eloquent way that has his undies in a bunch.

Good for her!

[dem4decades]

8. Really, there's the ad with Trump crying "I want my wall" waaaa

[Wellstone ruled]

11. SPOT ON!!!!!!

[turbinetree]

From sources all over the Capitol:

- POTUS DOES have right to enter the House chamber, at anytime.
- That includes if they are out of session, technically.
- But he can't speak from podium or dais w/out express House permission.

I can't believe I'm writing all this.

13. Next thing he'll be saying that Democrats are corrupt and ideologically bankrupt and that...

Next thing he'll be saying that Democrats are corrupt and ideologically bankrupt and that we don't care about climate change...just the type of idiotic statements and accusations I'd expect from someone like him.

[Arkansas Granny]

14. He thought he could intimidate Pelosi, but she has shown him who really has the upper hand.

[marble falls]

15. He's not surprised? That's good.

[Talitha]

16. If the American people had their way, Hillary would be President.

Instead, we got stuck with this POS.

[NCjack]

17. Finally, NO! Speaker Pelosi told the MFer "no" and made it stick. I'm looking forward

to many more disappointments for King Rat.

[Blue Owl]

18. Altogether now: "SHUT THE FUCK UP, DONNIE..."

n/t

[riversedge]

19. Our Constitution does not say it has to be delivered in the House--only that the President

has to present one once a year. He can have it written out and passed around. It is his responsibility to do so

[Snellius]

20. Now he has to deliver the SOTU from the doghouse. Bad dog.

Bad dog. Stay outside until you stop peeing on the rug. And everyone will know.

[Talitha]

24. Good one, LOL!

You made me spit tea all over my screen.

[sarcasmo]

21. The FBI has no money for tires, how is this making us safe from crime? Screaming into the abyss.

[Nitram]

22. This is the only way Trump knows to negotiate. Demand something over the top, create a crisis, and

then bluff. May have worked in real estate for a while (until the banks stopped lending to him), but it doesn't work in government. He ends up looking like a fool.

[pangaia]

23. "They've become radicalized. '

OKAY DEMS.

Here is great ammo--

"Radicalized? Radicalized, you say? It is a president who takes American workers hostage to feed his ego and his wallet that is RADICALIZED !

Take it and RUN RUN RUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

25. Nancy Was Mean To Me And My Dick Fell Off! nt
