It was the clap heard around the world.
During Donald Trump's 2019 State of the Union, newly re-installed Speaker Nancy Pelosi provided priceless pantomimed commentary throughout the night via hilarious reactions to the unhinged bloviating...but she really stole the show with a condescending round of applause for the toddler-in-chief.
It was simple gesture layered with complex psychological overtones: maternal sympathy, sarcasm, belittlement, false appreciation, mockery and a smirk to encourage more effort. Patton Oswalt even credited Speaker Pelosi with inventing the "F*ck You Clap"
Of course, all that DJT's self-centered needy ego registerd was approval, but the rest of us witnessed the patronizing look that said, "Look At The Big Boy!"
