BREAKING: Petty Trump Refuses to Shake Nancy Pelosi’s Hand at Start of SOTU
Guys, this is bad.
Donald Trump is giving the State of the Union, and he refused to shake the hand of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
Right before he delivered his address tonight, Trump greeted all the lawmakers in the room — but as many noticed right away, he did not shake Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s hand.
As the moment played out on CNN, Jake Tapper noticed and remarked, “It looks like she went to shake his hand and he did not — he did not take it.”
From CNN’s Manu Raju:
Pelosi reached out to shake Trump’s hand and Trump snubbed her

Donald Trump just refused to shake Nancy Pelosi’s hand.
He’s clearly scared of her.
Trump knows Pelosi is just getting started dismantling him.
