If you're like everyone else, who didn't watch the State of the Union yesterday, here's what happened.

Nancy Pelosi&#39;s condescending clap, Joshua Trump (no relation to the acting&nbsp;chief of state) falling asleep mid-Address, the entirety of Democratic female Congress&nbsp;breaking the no-white after Labor Day rule.&nbsp; This is what you missed if you, like everyone else, carried on with your Tuesday evening rather than watching yet another dismal declaration of our&nbsp;country&#39;s seemingly irreparable pitfalls, i.e.&nbsp;the State of the Union.

This year&#39;s SOTU, while keeping with the current&nbsp;administration&#39;s theme of disillusionment, did provide significant fodder for the internet&#39;s insatiable desire to troll.&nbsp; One of the&nbsp;most notable memes to come out of the&nbsp;event was Nancy Pelosi&#39;s patronizing applause following Trump&#39;s speech, which can be likened to&nbsp;Nicole Kidman&#39;s infamous Oscars&nbsp;golf clap of 2018.

Another prime example of the meme-ification of the SOTU&nbsp;was Joshua Trump&#39;s heroic slumber during the president&#39;s speech on enforcing stricter border control.&nbsp; The 11-year-old boy was invited by Melania Trump, after hearing that he had been bullied so severely for sharing the last name of&nbsp;the president that he was forced to leave his school.&nbsp; Although his presence could have made him an optimal target for further bullying, Joshua&#39;s mid-SOTU nap led many to praise him as the unsung leader of the anti-Trump movement, generating such responses&nbsp;as &quot;Welcome to the resistance&quot; and &quot;He&#39;s literally sleeping on Trump.&quot;

Whether your mood was reminiscent of Nancy Pelosi or Joshua Trump, we can all agree that this year&#39;s&nbsp;State of the Union&nbsp;is best experienced through the internet.
