President Trump and Speaker Pelosi haven’t spoken since mid-October when he called her a third-grade politician and she said all roads under Trump lead to Putin.
Pelosi is trying to unseat the President. When he entered the Chamber, she did not use the customary salutation that it was her high honor.
Pelosi broke congressional tradition and introduced him as only “the President of the United States” during the State of the Union address.
Previous House Speakers have said it is their “high privilege and distinct honor” of presenting the president.
When he handed out the copies of the speech, he ignored her outstretched hand or he didn’t see it. He didn’t shake. hands with Vice President Pence either.
Watch as he doesn’t shake her hand:

When the Speaker introduced the President, chants of “four more years,” broke out. His poll numbers hit 49% according to Gallup. This happened during an impeachment/removal trial.

Supreme Jedi move. Also the school choice segment of the SOTU was masterful. Let them think that Trump isn’t smart or that the Deplorables are clueless rubes.
He also didn’t shake Pence’s hand either. I was listening to Mark Steyn who said that handshaking is out of control. He gave an analogy of that happening when Pence didn’t shake hands when on a recent trip with the President. Someone accused Pence of not shaking hands with some dignitary there, but he had been with the man for twenty minutes before people even knew.
It was obvious the President hit the ignore button on Pelosi. She doesn’t deserve to be recognized. One the most ill-bred, incoherent, incompetent, indolent, intolerant, and ignorant individuals to be in the position she holds. A national disgrace and embarrassment who belongs in a contamination disposal unit marked toxic waste.
I’ve watched if a few times and I’m not certain he deliberately declined to shake her hand. At first I was sure, but watching it again he “may” have turned his head and not noticed she outstretched her hand. He did turn away rather quickly.
Good….glad he did that after the old whore tore up the speech…the old daughter of a mafia dad.
