U.S. President Donald Trump snubbed U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday, declining to shake her hand as he handed her a paper copy of his State of the Union speech. At the end of his 80-minute speech to a joint session of Congress, Pelosi stood and ripped apart her copy of the remarks he had handed her as millions watched on television. She later told reporters it was 'the courteous thing to do, considering the alternative.'
