Respect to Pelosi. Circumstance demanded she clap, so she invented this weird walrus clap that was mocking, aggressive, and delightfully surreal all at the same time. Nobody has ever has clapped like this. He didn't know what to make of it.

Thinking they were applauding him he turned to Nancy as if to say "In your face."
He is too stupid to see what the rest of us saw.

He is probably watching it today in a different light.

The more it sinks in the more pissed he is getting.

He said thank you to her in his abrupt “I just stuck it to you” way, but today he will see the rerun.

And he will see the millions of comments about it too.
