Did he or didn’t he? Same for her. Maybe.
President Trump, in our opinion, made a mistake at the State of the Union speech if his failure to shake Speaker Pelosi’s hand was intended as a snub. She made a mistake, in our view, if she intended an insult by tearing her copy of his speech at the end of Congress’ joint session. Both gestures put a slight damper on what was otherwise a rousing evening calculated to point our country toward November.
Opportunity lost. But intentions?
We use the word “if” above because, having watched the clip a dozen times, we can’t gain a clear view of whether Mr. Trump intended to snub the Speaker at the start of the speech. He had plenty of cause to, we’ll grant. Mrs. Pelosi has been calling him a criminal. She handed up against him charges of which the Senate is likely to acquit him. If he resents the Speaker, it would be reasonable enough.
Etc. A wonderful he-said-she-said situation, a mystery for the ages. (One CBS announcer said one thing, another “interjected” pronto to say another. Hmm.)
Blithe Spirit 
If he did snub her, good for him! Her words and actions against his presidency are an abomination, as is the Democrat party. Those obnoxious “women in white” were against all that is good and decent and snubbed Trump’s good intentions by sitting and frowning except when he promoted spending more tax dollars.
