President Donald Trump on Sunday finally offered a response to Speaker Nancy Pelosi's request he not give the State of the Union address if the government is shutdown but the fate of the speech is to be determined as the president merely said: 'I'll get back to you soon.'
The president tweeted his response to the speaker after he spent the morning criticizing Democrats for rejecting his deal to reopen the government and, in particular, went after Pelosi - including on the state of her district.
'Nancy, I am still thinking about the State of the Union speech, there are so many options - including doing it as per your written offer (made during the Shutdown, security is no problem), and my written acceptance. While a contract is a contract, I’ll get back to you soon!,' he wrote.

The White House has not formally responded to Pelosi's request that Trump postpone his joint address to Congress until after the government reopens.
Pelosi spokesperson Drew Hammill tweeted a response to the president, noting they never received the White House acceptance on their original offer: 'To be clear, the Speaker’s Office never received a “written acceptance” from the President.'
Pelosi originally sent an invitation to Trump on Jan. 3 - the day she became speaker - to give his State of the Union address on Jan. 29.
Sunday offered a teaser but no hint as to what Trump may ultimately do.
The White House is entertaining the idea of asking Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to formally invite President Trump to give it in Senate chamber instead.
Earlier in the morning President Trump attacked Pelosi for being too 'petrified' of the liberals in her party to make a deal and said the city she represents - San Francisco, a bastion of liberalism - is dirty.
'Nancy Pelosi has behaved so irrationally & has gone so far to the left that she has now officially become a Radical Democrat. She is so petrified of the “lefties” in her party that she has lost control...And by the way, clean up the streets in San Francisco, they are disgusting!,' he wrote.
Trump outlined a plan to end the government shutdown on Saturday, offering congressional Democrats three years of legislative relief for 700,000 DACA recipients — including protection from deportation — and an extension of legal residence for people living in the country under 'Temporary Protective Status' designations.
Democrats rejected his offer and House Democrats plan to pass six bills this week to reopen the government.
Relations between the president and the speaker, who is second in line for the presidency, have disintegrated as the partial government shutdown has dragged on.
Sunday marked day 30 as 800,000 federal workers prepare to to go a second time this coming week without a paycheck.
On Thursday, Trump cancelled Pelosi's government-funded official trip to see U.S. troops as he slapped back at her for a request that he postpone his State of the Union address.
Pelosi has been scheduled to visit Brussels and Afghanistan with other lawmakers.
The president said in his note to Pelosi that he was remanding her plane 'due to the shutdown' — a throwback to her request a day before that he delay his State of the Union speech until after the government reopens.
A White House official insisted that the president was not exacting revenge on the Democratic leader, however, for calling on him to deliver his speech to Congress at a later date or from the White House.

He also suggested Speaker Pelosi clean up her district

It came off as retaliatory, nonetheless.
Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill did not comment on the politics surrounding Trump's request but noted in tweets that the trip to Afghanistan 'included a required stop in Brussels for pilot rest' that the House speaker planned to fill with NATO and U.S. military meetings.
'The purpose of the trip was to express appreciation & thanks to our men & women in uniform for their service & dedication, & to obtain critical national security & intelligence briefings from those on the front lines,' Hammill said.
Hammill pointed out that Trump traveled to Iraq on Christmas Day amid the shutdown to visit the troops. A delegation of congressional Republicans was also allowed to travel abroad, he argued.
On Wednesday, Pelosi cited 'security concerns' amid the government shutdown that has lasted longer than any other federal closure in history.
She asked him to wait to speak to a Joint Session of Congress until the dispute that limits the functionality of the Department of Homeland Security has been resolved.
She wrote in her letter that no president has ever delivered a State of the Union speech in the midst of a shutdown.
'This requires hundreds of people working on the logistics and on the security of it,' she told reporters at the Capitol. 'Most of those people are either furloughed or are victims of the president's shutdown.'
Trump delivered his State of the Union address on January 30, 2018, speaking to a packed House chamber where every seat was filled and the galleries were at capacity
Pelosi argued that the January 29th date she originally invited Trump to address the nation wasn't sacred, constitutionally demanded or even the president's birthday.
'The date of the State of Union is not a sacred date, it's not constitutionally required, it's not the president's birthday. It's not anything. It's the date we agreed to. And it could be a week later if government is open,' she said at a press conference in the U.S. Capitol building on Thursday.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
