"But these moments as he was in there and at the beginning, obviously getting started, he was largely looking over to the left side of the chamber where a lot of the Republicans were sitting. Then he began looking at the right side as Democrats, obviously, were not standing for what he believed should be applause lines during his speech. And he was getting increasingly irritated by it."
"The one thing that I saw them all standing for was when they were talking about insider trading and banning that, and he made an offhand joke about Nancy Pelosi. Well, not all of them were standing, but a handful of them were... that got more applause when Senator Elizabeth Warren was standing, and that obviously stood out to the president himself."
During Trump's State of the Union address, he became visibly frustrated as the speech progressed. Initially, he focused on the Republican side of the chamber where supporters were seated. As he continued, he directed his attention to the Democratic side, growing irritated when they did not stand for what he considered appropriate applause moments. At one point, he expressed his frustration directly, calling the Democrats crazy for not standing. The only moment that drew significant Democratic applause was when Trump discussed banning insider trading and made a joke about Nancy Pelosi, which notably included Senator Elizabeth Warren standing.
