Well, the toon isn’t completely right … Trump was not completely disinvited. He was merely informed that, since the Capitol Police and Homeland Security that provide security for the State of the Union address are under the government shutdown, it would be inappropriate to hold the event while the government is shut down; it would be inappropriate to demand that hostages be called to work, unpaid, to protect the criminal holding them hostage..
All Trump has to do is release the hostages and he can give his speech.
