Pelosi Clapback
Applause given to appease someone who does not deserve it, but whose ego desperately needs it. A โPelosi clapbackโ can be clearly seen the night of the 2/5/19 POTUS State of the Union address in response to the POTUS suggesting bipartisan cooperation and not realizing the irony. A Pelosi Clapback can be rather sarcastic and very humorous.
Did you see her serve him that Pelosi clapback?? He deserved it bigly.
