Tuesday's State of the Union had a non-traditional start: President Trump walked by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and did not wait for her to introduce him. The House speaker traditionally introduces the president before he begins the speech.
After Mr. Trump walked up to the podium, he greeted Vice President Mike Pence and Pelosi, and then turned around and began to speak before Pelosi could introduce him. The House had already been called to order by Pelosi earlier in the day.
Pelosi took her seat behind Mr. Trump for the speech after he started speaking. He did shake her hand at the end of the speech.

It probably explains her disrespect by remaining standing while leafing through those large white papers on her desk. Old lady acting childish as the leader of the "Infanticide" party.
I was especially pleased when he brought up the late term abortions, naming New York State, while Schumer cringed down. (God saw him, anyway.)
btw, President Trump's speech got 76% Approval in a CBS poll.....I wonder what the real number may be.
Did the president not wait...or did Pelosi forget to do it and Trump was unwilling to embarrass her.
Good. Why give The Enemy ANY camera time? MAGA! :)
Looked to me like Schumer sat there with an evil grin the whole time, regardless of what the President said. He’s a foul living organism.
Nancy could not get through the lines anyway, so Trump covered for her. Her brain has gone to mush.
He didn't wait. Probably and oversight on his part but it could have been deliberate.
It was deliberate.
Independents approval was 82%. The Democrats must be crapping in their pants about now.
I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!
Trump is my boy—HE LOVES THIS COUNTRY, there’s NO DOUBT!!!
I loved this part... Instead of thanking her as madam speaker he said “Hi Pelosi... How are you?”. lol
Anyone else notice she was “controlling” her party like the mother of unruly children”?
I. DON’T. CARE.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Why should she introduce him? We all knew who he is.
Probably. Avoiding shaking her hand was too. It was Trump telling Pelosi to batten down the hatches and prepare for a real fight would be my guess
I think everyone saw who loves this Country, and the ones who want to destroy it last night.
There is NO middle!
Is that there biggest criticism..:)
Heard that on Red Eye Radio. I bet they are!
yes but he perfectly represents the fools of N.Y.
I do. It was a smart move. No sense letting Madame Botox introduce him as the reincarnation of Hitler, or some such thing.
I dont get the feeling that Donald makes very many oversights.
