No sooner did President Donald Trump finish his State of the Union address on Tuesday night then House Speaker Pelosi ripped it in two.
Right there, on the dais behind him.
Trump was barely done, turning to greet the crowd of lawmakers Tuesday night, when Pelosi, without a moment's delay, turned the papers in her hand.
