President Trump Couldn’t Decide Which State of the Union He Wanted to Give. So He Gave Both

In the very moment he started to speak, President Donald Trump split his State of the Union address in two.

Before giving the annual address to Congress, the president is traditionally introduced by the Speaker, whose chamber he's visiting. It's a nicety, a nod to the separation of powers being ceremonially set aside for the speech.

But either accidentally or intentionally, Trump began his speech before Pelosi could introduce him.
