Nancy Pelosi Clapped At Donald Trump and a State of the Union Meme Was Born

From Esquire

Speaker Nancy Pelosi will undoubtedly go down in history for her biggest career accomplishments: being the first female Speaker of the House or her dogged approach to push universal healthcare through the House. But today, she is simply restating that she is a human meme generator. She ended last year with a a great one, and she's kicking this year off with another: The Unimpressed Clap.

The meme, which is decidedly pettiness personified, is best utilized while mockingly congratulating someone for something they should have been doing all along. Also, for acknowledging Pelosi deploying the essence of Lucille Bluth. In case you were curious if Pelosi really was going full-petty, this glorious moment came to be as Trump made the following statement during his State of the Union speech, "But we must reject the politics of revenge, resistance, and retribution, and embrace the boundless potential of cooperation, compromise, and the common good." Yes, he's full of shit.

The Internet sprang into action, GIF’d and screenshotted the response, and launched 1,000 memes.

The Classic Lucille Bluth comparison:

The "unappreciated husband:"

Everyone at the Super Bowl:

Sunday morning vibes:

And of course, just calling something exactly what it is:

Embrace the meme. Use the meme. Quite literally clap back at all the haters out there, and don't be afraid to be petty because sometimes when the leader of the free world is oppressing children at the border with an outlandish immigration policy, the least you can do is be a little petty.
