Although this was Trump’s big night, Nancy Pelosi’s dramatic performance won the State of the Union.
President Donald Trump finally gave his 2019 State of the Union address on Tuesday evening. His initial speech was delayed during the ridiculous government shutdown. But, while Trump was on the mic, the eyes were on non other than newly appointed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The standout moment, however, was her iconic “clap back” at Trump from behind the podium. Her applause immediately followed a moment where Trump spewed some country unified bullshit. He stated:
“We must reject the politics of revenge, resistance, and retribution and embrace the boundless potential of cooperation, compromise, and the common good.”
Congrats to @SpeakerPelosi for inventing the “fuck you” clap. #sotu pic.twitter.com/eueoUf9IBT
