No throne just speaking for Donald Trump

Once a year, the proudest democracy in the world celebrates an Imperial exhibition. On a day in late January, the US President operates at the invitation of the Congress to the Capitol hill, falls below some Pomp between the arrayed members of the Podium of the meeting hall and read a statement from the government: the state of the Nation. The Ritual is based on the speech from the throne of the British monarch, it is one of the biggest stages that a President receives, and Donald Trump loves to stage big.

all the people on this Trump to abstain now. Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the house of representatives, informed the White house on Wednesday that the state of the Union speech could not take place, as long as parts of the US government are closed. The Democrat, not on the grounds that the competent authorities are due to the Shutdowns in the position to guarantee the safety of the event. The speech, the for the 29. January was planned, had to be either moved, or Trump, in writing, delivered. In fact, Pelosi has the President of the Congress – if he lock the budget to then cancels.

Trump strikes back

Democrats praised the move as a clever move, as a sign that Pelosi Trump in the battle for the Shutdown offers the forehead. Pelosis Write to give Trump a reason to end the Shutdown, because he loved nothing more than the attention of a large television audience, said the Democrat member, Steve Cohen. Criticism came from Republicans. Pelosi had fear, that the Nation hear what the President had to inform her, said the people's Deputy Steve Scalise.

trump's answer was not long in coming: In a sarcastically worded letter, he told Pelosi, and their planned trip to Egypt, Afghanistan, and Brussels should move. As long as the Shutdown stop, you can not use military means of transport. Instead of going to a "PR event", it should better stay in Washington.

The tug of war shows how hard the blows to the budget freeze. Trump is on the $ 5.7 billion that he calls for the construction of a wall on the border to Mexico. Without a corresponding commitment from the Democrats, he is not going to open the government again. Pelosi said repeatedly that you think is a wall for being "immoral". Before you negotiate additional funds for border security, should be open to the government. Both sites are not under great pressure from its own base, give in.

rising costs

27 days, parts of the government are now silent. With every week in which the Shutdown stop, will shrink the economic growth in the first quarter, to 0.13 per cent, said Kevin Hassett, chief economist at the White house. There have been reports of queues at airports are increasing. The air traffic controllers ' unions warn that the safety of the air traffic would be affected.

In Congress, a bipartisan group is now trying to find a way out. A representative of the centrist wing of the Democrats, following an invitation from trump to the White house. In the Senate the idea of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, to open the first of the government for three weeks to create a window of time for negotiations courses. So far, Trump has rejected this proposal, however.
