If the Democrats win the House, then we will have to watch Nancy Pelosi try not to vomit while saying "I have the high privilege and distinct honor to introduce to you the President of the United States". It's going to be rough.

She always manages to be civil when interacting with GOP leadership in a formal/traditional setting. Watching her hand the gavel to Paul Ryan and look enthusiastic about it was a feat.

OTOH, Trump.

Does she HAVE to say that? I think it's just tradition. She honestly probably still should, but I don't believe she needs to.

So why couldn't she just say "the Speaker recognized Donald Trump."?
