[USA] - Nancy Pelosi rips up Donald Trump's speech
- Thread starter UltimaOnline
- Start date
Big deal....trump refused to shake her hand..
Nancy Pelosi is very bitter that she will never be a POTUS. If she accuses Trump of being a reality TV showman with his antics, she isn't exactly far behind as a drama mama! Her thin lips and wicked demeanour scare the shit out of many American voters.
Pelosi and Biden are against Trump, because they are afraid that Trump will go after their corrupt children. That's why they tried (and failed) to impeach him, even though that guaranteed pissing off some of the more sensible Dem voters.

Why don't they make the children ministers, pay them more to prevent corruption?
Trump is bad for PLO and hsmas!
Trump or Pelosi?
You think the masses can be conned forever?
When the Democrat becomes President, all the corruption of Trump will become public.
except for those who have kids / grandkids who engage in gay marriages, are caqs, albinos or recalcitrant harvard profsWhy don't they make the children ministers, pay them more to prevent corruption?
All wayang/theatre/dog and pony show. Call it what you want, they are doing it to keep the people divided, like liberals vs conservatives...and distracted from the fact that these actors all serve the same masters.
Honestly, from clinton (democrat), to bush (republican), to obama (democrat) and now trump (republican), what has seriously changed?
I remember a very good cartoon showing it best. It shows at first these politicians hurling insults at one another, ended with them hi-fiving and each other having a ood time in their secret common office.
The following one is equally telling, but most people sadly can't see through the act.
This quotes sums it up best.
If Voting Changed Anything They Would Make It Illegal
Donald Trump snubs Nancy Pelosi's handshake — and other key moments from the State of the Union address
Updated about 4 hours agoVideo
Watch Donald Trump's 2020 State of the Union address | ABC News
The State of the Union address gives US presidents the opportunity to update the nation and the world on their progress, policies, hurdles and priorities.
Donald Trump's latest address was just as much about everyone else's reactions to what he was saying — and not all of them were favourable.
Trump was greeted by chanting
Mr Trump entered the room to a standing ovation, but only from one side.
Republicans enthusiastically chanted "four more years" as the President walked through the crowd to the podium.
The Democrats were notably silent.
Then Pelosi got snubbed
One of the most talked-about moments happened before the opening remarks were even made.
As Mr Trump reached the podium, US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reached out for a handshake.
Whether he missed it or ignored it on purpose, Mr Trump left Ms Pelosi hanging.

Ms Pelosi looked unimpressed throughout the address, and at the end she showed everyone how she really felt.
As the rest of the room applauded, she stood up and ripped her copy of the President's address in half.
She later told reporters it was "the courteous thing to do, considering the alternative".

Meanwhile, like last year, Ms Pelosi and many other Democratic senators dressed in white for the speech to mark the anniversary of the 19th amendment to the US constitution, which gave women the right to vote.
Trump talked up America's economy, jobs, military and … Space Force!
Mr Trump kicked off his address on a high note, saying the country's economy was the best it had ever been and the United States' future was "blazing bright".
"That is why I signed an executive order requiring price transparency," he said.
Mr Trump promoted his administration's $2.2-trillion investment in the US military.
"We have purchased the finest planes, missiles, rockets, ships and every other form of military equipment, and it's all made right here in the USA," he said.
Mr Trump introduced a special guest for that topic, 13-year-old Ian McGee who said he dreams of going to space, and who also happens to be the grandson of Charles McGee, a veteran who was just promoted to Brigadier General.
There was a special guest from Venezuela
Many special guests were worked into the President's address, but one special guest came all the way from Venezuela.
That was opposition leader Juan Guaido.
You might remember him from the failed coup back in May 2019, when he called for a military uprising against President Nicolas Maduro.
In his address, Mr Trump called Mr Maduro an "illegitimate ruler", a "tyrant who brutalises his people", and someone whose "grip on tyranny will be smashed and broken".
"Here this evening is a very brave man who carries with him the hopes, dreams and aspirations of all Venezuelans," Mr Trump said.
The President referred to Mr Guaido as his counterpart.
"Mr President, please take this message back, that all Americans are united with the Venezuelan people in their righteous struggle for freedom," Mr Trump said.
And no-one mentioned the 'i' word
In the almost 90-minute address, there was no reference to the impeachment saga.
The Senate is expected to acquit Mr Trump on Wednesday.

Mr Trump kicked off his address on a high note, saying the country's economy was the best it had ever been and the United States' future was "blazing bright".
On employment opportunities and economic growth, he touted 7 million new jobs created since his election.
On health care — a divisive topic for both the Republicans and the Democrats — Mr Trump vowed Americans would never be blindsided by medical bills.
"That is why I signed an executive order requiring price transparency," he said.
Democrats were audibly unimpressed and started chanting "HR 3, HR 3" in reference to their own healthcare bill.
Mr Trump promoted his administration's $2.2-trillion investment in the US military.
"We have purchased the finest planes, missiles, rockets, ships and every other form of military equipment, and it's all made right here in the USA," he said.
Then came Space Force, a brand-new branch of the US armed forces.
Mr Trump introduced a special guest for that topic, 13-year-old Ian McGee who said he dreams of going to space, and who also happens to be the grandson of Charles McGee, a veteran who was just promoted to Brigadier General.
