Partisan tension
Trump at his State of the Union Address faced Democratic lawmakers and tried to belittle them with his speech. Meanwhile, the Republicans were all in support for their president and shouted ‘Four More Years’ as soon as stepped up the lectern. Similar to the previous year, this year’s speech was also marked with high drama and partisan tension.
Twitter users were quick to react to the situation. Many defended Trump by asking why should he shake hands with someone who is trying to remove him while others wrote that trump is a 'psychopath.'

Good. Why should he shake the hand of a psychopathic criminal who committed SEDITION and an attempted a COUP upon a sitting @POTUS ?

She's been after his neck since before he took office. And you expect him to shake her hand? Like sure spit in my face over and over again and I'll just smile and be polite.
