As President Trump entered the chamber to deliver the State of the Union Tuesday evening, he walked down the aisle greeting lawmakers and shaking hands.
When the President took to the podium for his address, he handed Vice President Mike Pence and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) a copy of his speech, then it appeared Pelosi got the cold shoulder from the Commander in Chief.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had reached out to shake hands with President Donald Trump moments before his State of the Union address, and just after trying to impeach him.
President Trump, however, turned away without shaking her hand to proceed to begin with the formal address.
It is not clear whether the president intended to reject the gesture, but social media appeared to think she deserved it.

Nancy Pelosi has spent 3 years trying to impeach President Trump
Meanwhile, he has led the Great American Comeback and restored the United States of America to greatness
She has opposed him every step of the way
She doesn't deserve a handshake pic.twitter.com/Q1MFefkMcL

Imagine being Nancy Pelosi.
Your impeachment scam just failed, Trump’s support is now at an all-time high, he leaves you hanging on a handshake, & now you have to listen to him name every accomplishment over the most successful 3 years in our country’s history. 😂
