President Trump cancelled Nancy Pelosi's overseas trip today minutes before it was scheduled to depart leaving Pelosi and Adam Schiff sitting on a bus for hours before being returned unceremoniously to the capitol.

The President has decided that military aircraft will not be used for congressional junkets during the government shutdown. Pelosi will have to arrange for commercial travel.

Poke at a bear with a sharp stick and you may get the claw. As I've said, the constitution affords the President massive administrative powers, most people have no idea.

Reminds me of a scene from the original "Walking Tall" where the Sherrif takes on the Judge.

This would be a good permanent policy. The idea that these junkets are anything but a tax-payer subsidized vacation is a joke.

Taxpayer paid junkets no less! Maybe, Congressional salaries can be withheld atleast, until the shutdown is resolved. I will run that idea by President Trump. No reason why these do nothing instigators should be paid one red cent while, they continue to keep the government shut with their no compromise stance!

Just curious, do you feel the same about Speaker Pelosi cancelling the State of the Union address?

No, because she merely suggested postponement, Trump makes that call. It may be petty, but she has no bite on that fight.
