Drama Trump VS DPR: Jabat Tangan Ditolak, Naskah Pidato Dirobek

Dalam pidato selama 80 menit, Trump memaparkan keberhasilan pemerintahannya dalam 4 tahun terakhir. Pelosi terlihat jutek dan cemberut selama mendengarkan pidato Presiden berusia 73 tahun itu. 

Pidato Trump dibalas dengan tepuk tangan meriah anggota DPR dan Senat dari Partai Republik. Sementara para anggota dewan Partai Demokrat yang merupakan oposisi hanya terdiam, tak tepuk tangan, apalagi berdiri.

Sementara itu, Pelosi yang berdiri di sebelah Wapres Mike Pence, ikut berdiri, mengambil salinan pidato dan merobeknya. Ia kemudian meletakannya di atas mimbar saat Trump berjalan untuk menyambut anggota Kongres.

As President Trump’s State of the Union speech ended, Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripped up her copy of his address, capping a decidedly chilly confrontation between the two. ? ? The sour dynamic was on display from the start on Tuesday night, the eve of a Senate vote on whether to remove Trump from office. When Trump handed her a printed copy of his speech, Pelosi rose and extended her hand to shake his. Trump turned his back, and the speaker quickly withdrew her hand, appearing to shrug slightly with her eyebrows raised.? ? Then Pelosi dealt Trump a slight of her own by omitting the customary laudatory words in her introduction of the president. Normally, she would have said, “I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the president of the United States.” Instead, she said simply, “Members of Congress, the president of the United States.”? ?

"Itu adalah hal yang sopan untuk dilakukan," kata Pelosi usai pidato seperti dikutip dari Reuters, Rabu (5/2/2020).

Pidato kenegaraan Trump tadi dilakukan beberapa minggu setelah DPR memakzulkan Trump karena menyalahgunakan kekuasaan dan menghalangi Kongres serta sehari sebelum Senat yang dikendalikan Partai Republik kemungkinan akan memilih untuk menolak pemakzulan.
