I have read a lot of criticism of her performance behind The President during the SOTU. She applauded at the wrong places, didn’t stand up when she was supposed to, and even more egregious stared at her “iPad” while Trump spoke which turned about to be a printed copy of the speech, which she did seem to refer to an unusual amount of times.
Brings to me hypothesis: did Nancy need to pick up and preview the speech in order to try to guess when the best times were for her to react because she could not hear the President correctly? Shes almost 80, and based on the hate directed at her, her vanity (I don’t care what anyone says, Id feel lucky to have an almost 80 year old woman that looked like that as my wife GRRRRRRRR) is it possible she is hearing impaired but is doing all she can do to hide it?
For SotU speeches there is not a particular time to applaud or stand up. She also seems to have no problem with hearing when addressed by the press. More likely, her actions were due to being Trump’s adversary at the moment, in other words, politically based.
As for checking the speech, it’s likely that she had it ahead of time - as is standard practice - and rightfully was checking to see how many times he’d went off script. It’s not like he’s known for sticking to his text.
I didn’t watch it, but doesn’t the Speaker sit behind the President during the SOTU address. From attending numerous graduation ceremonies, I can tell you that sitting behind the speaker is not conducive to hearing a speech.
Apparently not as one poster pointed out sitting behind a speaker might make it harder to hear the speech. So I may be on to something at least in terms of it being hard for her to hear. What a stupid fucking reply.

And yeah, how stupid to speculate that an 78 year old woman might struggle with hearing. As for press conferences maybe she can read lips, kinda hard to do when the speaker has his back to you.

Normally I’d let a single comment after moderation go, but you’ve done this multiple times before and have both been warned and had a short term suspension.
This is a warning for failure to follow a moderator’s instructions. I recommend if you feel the need to get the last word in, don’t.
Please do not interject irrelevant comments, even if approving, about the appearance of women into other discussions. Such are not generally made regarding men, and serve no meaningful purpose regarding women.
(I know I responded to this the day it was posted, but I must have suffered a keyboard failure that prevented it being posted.)
I thought her “performance” (sitting behind Donald the Chump and pretending he’s important) was spectacular. Between rolling on the floor belly-laughing, and falling asleep (like his poor woe-begotten namesake guest) I’d never been able to do what she did.
That being said, comrade, I have to agree that the veracity of this OP is in more question than the Speaker of the House’s State of the Union “performance”. Do svidania, comrade.
