A White House official confirmed to The Hill that no Democrats were invited to the bill-signing event. But in the Oval Office ceremony, Trump — flanked by top Cabinet members, aides and GOP lawmakers — heaped praise on bipartisan negotiators.

"I want to thank Democrats and Republicans for coming together and putting America first,” Trump told reporters.

The Senate passed the mammoth coronavirus package on Wednesday on a 96-0 vote. The House followed suit on Friday, clearing the measure on a voice vote.

Trump and Pelosi’s already chilly relationship took a turn for the worse in September, when Pelosi signed off on an impeachment investigation into the president after he pressured Ukraine to announce investigations that could have benefited him politically. The House voted to impeach Trump, but the GOP-controlled Senate acquitted him.

The pair last saw each other more than a month ago, on Feb. 4, when Trump traveled to the Capitol to deliver his State of the Union address on the House floor. Pelosi reached out to shake his hand before the speech, but Trump appeared to snub her offer.

The fireworks happened later. As Trump wrapped up his speech, Pelosi — in plain view of the lawmakers and guests in the chamber, as well as the TV audience watching at home — stood and ripped a copy of his speech into pieces.
