    Given Congress isn't going into recess - as was planned - wouldn't that have postponed the trip anyway?

    No, the trip was scheduled to depart today. I believe he yanked the rug out from under just like an hour or so before the flight was scheduled to leave.

    It was a trip to military bases, just like the one Trump took during the shutdown
    It's just Trump being the petty asshole that he is

    Was there a trip or wasn't there? And if there was no trip, what was that military bus doing idling before departure?

    I don't know. But it was a genius political move by Trump, apparently.

    The House Of Representatives controls the federal budget.

    They should ZERO OUT ($0.00) all funding for White House living expenses, all travel outside the White House grounds, and all food.

    Shut off the lights, heat and water. And the Big Macs. A few weeks off the burger diet will do Fatfuck good. Might get him under 400 pounds.

    Please clap.

    "This kind of partisan attack is simply not done by at the Pentagon. Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford, who was traveling overseas, have taken extraordinary steps to keep political discourse away from the military. In part, they did so by sharply reducing their press appearances, public engagements, and the number of reporters permitted to travel with them abroad. The select officers and civilians picked to hear this speech apparently got the message. The room did not applaud."

    Mnuchin will get to go. Trump might need him to print some money someday.

    All the Pentagon planning and logistical preparations for the trip, domestically and overseas, quite likely running well into the millions of dollars, out the window.

    Because Fatfuck threw another pissy fit.
