And let me add, what about the fact that at the start, Pelosi offered
her hand and Stumpie wouldn't shake it.

I didn't watch the speech but in the one clip that I did see Trump was
turning away from Pelosi after giving her the printed copy before she
stuck her hand out.

Each of the major TV news networks had cameras there. Some of the clips
show that Trump was very likely to have seen her extended hand.

He did not shake Pence's hand either.

Irrelevant. Pence didn't offer his hand.

I think the whole thing was a bit awkward, but not really the end of the
world. All things considered, this was a relatively small thing from a
President who just can't help himself.
It was a deliberate snub to the lady who "invited" him into the
chambers to present his "campaign speech".

He has NO class.

Definitely. He probably thinks he's upper class since he has a lot of
money. But he's lower class.

Americans consistently refer to low-class when they mean low-income.
There are plenty of low-income people who are middle-class, who have
middle-class values.

And quite a few upper and middle income people who are low-class.

I havent' designated anyone as upper-class, because I'm not sure what
that would be.
I've seen and met several "high class" people who were most definitely
low class. One old gentleman - a GIANT of a man - in his 90s - was
definitely "high class" - in Fabedougou Burkina Faso. His net worth
was likely inder $100 - and his income significantly under $5 a month
- but he was "class" personified.

Then there's the Trumps of the world - and the Idi Amins, and the
Robert Mugabwes, You know the types. NO CLASS - ALL BRASS
