I think she had already insulted him with the brusque introduction instead of the traditional rather elaborate phrase, so that might have been the reason he didn’t shake her hand.

No, the introduction took place after the President was at the podium and after he had refused to shake her hand. I suspect that even had Trump shook it Pelosi would have left out the traditional greeting.

But I’m not sure he even saw her hand, because she only put it out at the last minute and he probably assumed she wasn’t going to offer it.

Trump's done three State of the Unions. He knows the drill. It was deliberate.

It was probably an attempt to upstage him.

Both were out to upstage the other, that's for sure.

A friend of my brother’s used to spit on the hand of an opposing football player to provoke the guy into reacting in anger and getting a penalty...

Trump knows when and on whose hand to spit to ensure the other team gets a penalty flag.
