I'm no fan of Pelosi, but for the layman who isn't going to do much extracurricular research on any of his bluster, Trump's SOTU had the appearance of being really strong. There would have been a lot of positive talk about it, even a fair bit from liberal news to get 'look how unbiased we are!' brownie points. A few seconds of paper tearing took that away, I won't say it wasn't childish, but it was a damn effective "break glass in case of emergency" move to shift talk away from the actual speech.
Plus the Repubs loudly leading chants and hooting and booing like they were at a goddamn frat pledge party throughout the entirety of the SOTU really set a classy tone, I mean really, how dare someone drag down the proceedings with such nAkEd paRtiSanShiP.
