This is Donald Trump. In any situation, even the State Of The Union, he will be small and petty. Trump is seething over impeachment, and he is fuming that he wasn’t acquited before the State Of The Union.
Trump intentionally snubbed Pelosi, but he will always be an impeached president thanks to the Speaker standing up and defending the law and the Constitution.
