When asked afterwards "Why did you tear up the speech?"

One can only wonder what the alternative was.

... and one failed impeachment later, Trump returned the favor and snubbed Pelosi's handshake as he took the stage at today's SOTU address.

Pelosi, as expected, snubbed Trump right back, introducing him only as "The President of the United States", whereas traditionally the speaker has used the language: "I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the President of the United States."
Still, Trump will have the final laugh: in less than 24 hours the Senate will vote to acquit Trump of the impeachment farce passed by Pelosi's House a few weeks ago, a process Pelosi herself did not want to pursue afraid that it would backfire and cripple the chances of the establishment's favorite candidate, Joe Biden, but was ultimately was forced to concede by the radical left-wing in the Democratic party.
In retrospect, she should have gone with her gut feeling.
