After canceling Pelosi’s trip, Trump bans ALL congressional travel on government aircraft without WH permission

Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., made a mistake when she tried to troll President Donald Trump by postponing the State of the Union address. You cannot out-troll Donald Trump. It is not physically possible. And Trump continues to prove that with a new order from the White House.

Does this affect Pelosi's use of military aircraft for her commute between CA and DC? I never heard anything about her regaining that perk along with the speakership?

Good question. I find it outrageous that she ever had this perk and hope it's not been reinstated.
