It was a victory, even if a small one according to late-night comic Stephen Colbert. 

President Donald Trump backed down and decided not to give the State of the Union address next week — an event that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had already cancelled because of the government shutdown.

And it turns out that Trump has a special nickname for Pelosi. Jimmy Fallon reveals what it is. It may sound a bit familiar.
