There’ll be a lot said about President Trump snubbing (accidentally or not) Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s handshake, but much less will be said about her abridged introduction of the president:

Besides no handshake – Pelosi intro of Trump was not typical either. Usually the speaker says – “Members of Congress, I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the President of the United States.” Pelosi just said “the President of the United States” — John Santucci (@Santucci) February 5, 2020

Oh well … Pelosi was in a rush to flip through the pages of the president’s printed address … or something.

Watch Pelosi. Shuffling papers. Did Trump give her a different speech like he did before than the one he's giving? It would be hilarious if he did. — Teresa K Parrish (@LoneStarLuLu) February 5, 2020

Pelosi is spending the entire speach purposely shuffling papers. What a small, very small individual. — MM (@MichaelFINmwst) February 5, 2020
