So when Trump ignored Pelosi’s outstretched hand on Tuesday, people were on high shade alert.
Pelosi and Trump have had a turbulent relationship during his time in the White House.
The last time the two met in person was reportedly in October, when she and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer walked out of a White House briefing on Syria, where Pelosi said Trump had a “meltdown.”
Since then, the Democrat-held House has voted to impeach Trump on allegations that he abused his power when requesting that Ukraine investigate the son of his political rival, Joe Biden, in exchange for approved military aid, as well as obstruction of Congress.
But with Republicans holding the majority in the Senate, Trump is expected to be acquitted on Wednesday.
