State of the Union: Viewers React to 'All The Clapping'

President Donald Trump's State of the Union address went along with minimal technical difficulties. But for Americans watching from home, a specific action by the president and the members of the House proved frustrating.

Viewers took to social media to express frustration as members of the Senate and House of Representatives clapped after every one or two sentences the president uttered.

STOP CLAPPING EVERY 10 SECONDS ITS SO ANNOYING #SOTU2018

Too much clapping.

I literally just watched a guy look around to see if other people were standing up and clapping before he decided to stand up. Y’all need to get y’all sheep together #SOTU

#SOTU What is with the clapping every 30s? Is that so Trump can have time to decipher his next sentence?

There is something so shy-making about adults clapping for themselves.

We don’t even do this much clapping in the Black Church! 🙄 #SOTU

In turn, Trump clapped into the microphone when the audience clapped for his statements during the address, which produced as a loud noise for Americans watching at home.

I think someone told him to stop clapping into the mic midway through the speech. The real MVP. #SOTU

The clapping wasn't across the room however, Twitter users were quick to point out the representatives that did not stand or clap for the majority of the speech.

The Dems are not standing or clapping to rebuild our country.

Little to no bipartisan support. Dems not clapping or standing much, even for infrastructure spending #SOTU
