Five years after former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tore up President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech after he had finished, Democrats are reportedly planning to disrupt Trump’s 2025 address to a joint session of Congress with the same kind of partisan malice.
“Some members have told colleagues they may walk out of the chamber when Trump says specific lines they find objectionable, lawmakers told Axios,” the media outlet reported.
Using props has reportedly been discussed, including noisemakers, signs with anti-Trump or anti-DOGE messages, hand clappers, and red cards.
Some Democrats are considering coordinating their clothes by using colors to protest: The Democratic Women’s Caucus wants its members to wear pink; female members of the Congressional Black Caucus might wear black; Ukraine supporters could show up wearing blue and yellow.
“Some Democrats have announced that they are bringing former federal employees as their guests, as part of a protest of the Trump administration’s mass firings,” The New York Times reported.
In 2020, as she sat behind Trump, Pelosi made a grand show of ripping Trump’s speech four times. She boasted the next morning, “I felt very liberated last night.”
On Monday, President Trump declared on Truth Social, “TOMORROW NIGHT WILL BE BIG. I WILL TELL IT LIKE IT IS!”
Although Trump’s Tuesday speech will be broadcast on live television and has many aspects of a traditional State of the Union address, usually delivered in January or February, it will focus on Trump’s legislative priorities and is classified as an address to Congress.
According to NPR, for the past four decades, some presidents have referred to their first speech as an address to Congress rather than the State of the Union.
President Ronald Reagan delivered a joint address to Congress in his first term in 1981. Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton continued the tradition in 1989 and 1993, respectively, with speeches titled “Administration Goals.” President George W. Bush delivered a “Budget Message” in 2001, the Associated Press reported.

Popcorn at the ready. God bless President Trump.
Can’t wait to see how the Dems embarrass themselves. Wouldn’t be surprising if some of their actions get them thrown out, if not arrested.
If the Democrats want to behave like children performing in the World of Kafkaesque–hire a group to treat them equally–
aside from diminishing popularity and lack of human support–Democrats are grabbing at straws as they scramble to wiggle out of the swamp–
It was very apparent that the Democrats care noting about this country, they only want to undermine and go against anything “Trump.” Very disgusting to think these people are suppose to represent the American people? The follow up comments (rebuttal) from the Democrats after President Trumps speech was pathetic. She twisted facts and spouted false propaganda based garbage. It was unbelievable, but I’m guessing the Left-Wing sheep (lemmings?) cheered her load of nonsense. Can you believe how the entire group of Democrats acted like spoiled children, who’s sole purpose was “Anti-Trump?”
Don’t Democrats even know how unpatriotic they are? They are acting like uneducated fools, not just in their lies and deceptions, but also in their weird actions, (like what low class Pelosi did in the past, tearing up the speech).They all need to go to a refinement school, because they are a great embarrassment to all of us, to the world watching. They are devoid of the American blue blood. So disgusting & infuriating these clowns are. .
