Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi late Tuesday tweeted a photo that showed President Trump appearing to refuse a handshake at the beginning of his State of the Union address.
The pair's relationship is likely at an all-time low. House Democrats, led by Pelosi, impeached Trump and will likely be a handful of votes short in the Senate that would have led to his removal. Trump has called Pelosi the "most overrated person" he's met and a "third-rate politician."
Pelosi on Tuesday seemed to use the picture as evidence that the president holds grudges.
"Democrats will never stop extending the hand of friendship to get the job done #forthepeople. We will work to find common ground where we can, but will stand our ground where we cannot," she tweeted.
There was some speculation that Trump did not see her extended hand and some social media users pointed out that he did not shake Vice President Pence's hand, who was next to Pelosi.
Pelosi's tweet came shortly after she ripped up her copy of Trump’s speech as soon as his address concluded.
Pelosi told Fox News afterward that she had destroyed the speech “because it was the courteous thing to do considering the alternatives.” She also said she was "trying to find one page with truth on it" but "couldn't."
The White House responded by referencing several of the guests of honor whom Trump honored.
"Speaker Pelosi just ripped up: One of our last surviving Tuskegee Airmen. The survival of a child born at 21 weeks. The mourning families of Rocky Jones and Kayla Mueller. A service member's reunion with his family," the White House said in a tweet. "That's her legacy."

Hey Nancy, you impeached him. Impeachment is forever. Be careful what you wish for. You got it.
Need moar winnamins. Bigly.
Eff all the lunatic Dems. 2020 is going to be housecleaning time.
He should have slapped it away and then ordered Pence to pull her chair out from under her.
When your enemy is destroying himself, stay away.
I recall reading several years ago that DJT is somewhat of a germaphobe. This is flu season. Just saying.
She’s mentally unstable.
And she didn’t properly introduce him.. and she acted like a young controlling girl who didn’t get her way.
One of the great speeches of all time. He beat her like a drum.
House Democrats, led by Pelosi, impeached Trump and will likely be a handful of votes short in the Senate that would have led to his removal.

Edmund you ignorant slut.
Removal requires 67 votes.
They will probably get 45 votes.
67 - 45 = 22
22 votes short is not a handful in the Senate, you ignorant slut.
It’s a wipeout.
“I recall reading several years ago that DJT is somewhat of a germaphobe. This is flu season. Just saying.”
Seriously???
He shook hands with all kinds of people on his way in and out.
Probably did not want to be a hypocrite because the sniveling bitch tried to get him kicked out of his job.
Did fancy nancy tweet a photo of her ripping up the speech?
The hand shake was an attempted set-up...it was suppose to make President Trump look bad..but it backfired.
Also, is anyone reporting Pelosi’s introduction of Trump?
I don’t blame the President one bit. I wouldn’t shake her hand either. There’s a rather profane expression I’ve heard from military men regarding declining to relieve themselves in someone else’s mouth even if that person’s teeth were on fire. Applies here. I wouldn’t provide that extinguisher service to Pelosi either.
Remember when Elizabeth Warren was hailed as a hero for doing the same thing to Bernie?
She is trying to support her blunder of the decade done for all to see on national TV. Backpeddling while throwing jabs is not a winning combo Pelousy. Trump will let you get into the corner and then land the haymaker. You are going down for the count Pelousy. The only thing beating you to the canvass will be when the senate dumps the spit bucket on that Shumer today.
Why should he desk the hand of a treasonous skank who tried to pull off a coup? For all he knew she had KGB poison on her ring.
desk > shake...
She doesn’t know who she is or what she stands for, because she is a colossal phoney; authentic persons can see right through her - and her emotionally unbalanced crap.
