'That wasn't a state of the union -- it was a state of mind': Pelosi speculates Trump appeared 'sedated'

Raw Story  

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi speculated that President Donald Trump seemed "sedated" during his State of the Union address on Tuesday. Pelosi said that his address seemed more like a speech about his personal "state of mind" rather than a "state of the union" "I say to my members all the time there's no such thing as personal animosity," Pelosi said. It was all about him and his "state of mind," she said. So, Pelosi said she shredded his "state of mind" address.
