President Trump was scheduled to deliver his State of the Union address on Jan. 29 and speak to the nation from the House Chambers on funding his border wall and ending the ongoing government shutdown.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent a formal letter to President Trump that requested he postpone the State of the Union, citing lack of security for Congress due to the federal employees being on furlough during the government shutdown, which started on Dec. 22, 2018.
A State of the Union address has not been postponed since Jan. 28, 1986, when President Ronald Reagan delayed his address immediately following the Challenger disaster, where seven astronauts died in an explosion shortly after the space shuttle launched.
President Trump fired back at the House Speaker, saying he was going to find another venue for his address to the nation and was going to block the House Speaker Pelosi’s trip to Afghanistan, which she would cancel herself.
However, on Jan. 23, President Trump announced on Twitter that he would be postponing the State of the Union until after the government shutdown was over.

But with many in the media, both on the right and left, now saying he “caved” under pressure from House Speaker Pelosi in regards to the State of the Union location, it’s only a matter of time before President Trump comes up with another plan to present his border wall—a position he holding firm on as of yesterday, tweeting out “We will not Cave!”
Nancy just said she “just doesn’t understand why?” Very simply, without a Wall it all doesn’t work. Our Country has a chance to greatly reduce Crime, Human Trafficking, Gangs and Drugs. Should have been done for decades. We will not Cave!
