State of the Union: Trump's speech will be postponed, says Pelosi's help – live | American News

Donald Trump will not deliver his speech on the state of the Union Tuesday, according to an badistant of Nancy Pelosi.

CNN reports that the address – Trump's second – will not go as planned before the shutdown.

The back and forth following Trump's speech on the state of the Union to the House Chamber was an ongoing sidenote to the dissolution of the government.

Pelosi asked Trump to postpone the address at the end of the closure, citing security concerns. Trump rejected that, saying that he was going to do it anyway. Pelosi again stated that he would not be allowed to do that. The lead negotiator then gave in, agreeing to postpone the speech.

It is not known when Trump will address the nation.

There is more bad news for Trump today – in the form of a Washington Post-ABC Poll According to him, the president "greatly underperformed the expectations, even modest, that the Americans had for him when he took office."

According to the survey, nearly six out of ten Americans have an unfavorable view of Trump as a person. A majority of people "also doubt his empathy, his honesty and his ability to do political business," according to the Post.

The survey compares the expectations of Trump's citizens in January 2017 to the current views of the president.

When the survey took office, 50% of people thought it would do a good job of reducing the federal deficit, according to the survey. Now, only 33% think that he is fine.

The federal deficit was a long-standing rallying cry for Republicans under Obama, but McConnell and his colleagues were strangely silent, with Trump's tax cuts pushing the deficit up to $ 779 billion in 2018, an increase 17%.
