President Trump caved to Speaker Pelosi on whether to hold the annual State of the Union (SOTU) speech.

After days of back-and-forth brinkmanship as to whether or not the President would hold the SOTU at the Capitol, the President blinked and canceled the speech.

This is a reversal from 24 hours earlier.

On Wednesday morning, the President said he was looking for an “alternative venue” to make the speech after Pelosi disinvited him.

However, by the evening President Trump caved to Pelosi’s vindictive immaturity.

Why couldn’t the President simply hold the speech in the US Senate? Or on Pennsylvania Avenue for the public? Or how about open the White House to all US Representatives and Senators and hold it?

His reversal looks politically weak and makes little sense.

According to Breitbart:

Trump pointed to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for inviting and subsequently disinviting him to give the State of the Union in the House of Representatives.

“As the Shutdown was going on, Nancy Pelosi asked me to give the State of the Union Address. I agreed,” he wrote Wednesday night. “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. I am not looking for an….”

His message continued in a second tweet,“….alternative venue for the SOTU Address because there is no venue that can compete with the history, tradition and importance of the House Chamber. I look forward to giving a “great” State of the Union Address in the near future!”
