Nancy Pelosi killed Donald Trump with her sarcastic applause and it’s gloriously brutal
Donald Trump delivered his State of the Union address to the American nation but the most memorable moment of the night wasn’t anything the so-called president had to say.
It was the moment Trump’s nemesis, house speaker Nancy Pelosi, stood up to applaud a line in his speech and it was just the most fabulous takedown ever.
‘Sarcastic’ doesn’t do it justice. Not sure any word does.
