Before delivering his speech on the state of the Union, the President of the United States presented a copy of the latter to the Democratic Chef of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi. Trump then voluntarily avoided shaking his hand that Nancy Pelosi tended him.
Irritated by the behavior of the President of the United States, she torn her copy of the speech, once it was finished.
After this incident, Nancy Pelosi explained that it was “the most courteous thing to do, compared to alternatives”. For its part, the White House reacted by deploring that Nancy Pelosi thus “torn” a speech in which a veteran of the Second World War or the family of Kayla Mueller, killed by Daesh in Syria were cited.
This scene illustrates the strong tensions between Donald Trump and the House of Representatives – dominated by the Democrats – who launched against him the “Impeach” procedure.
