Can’t hit bottom yet when there’s a basement that’s been untouched.
It will likely get worse - or better, depending on your POV
I would not be surprised if Trump and many of his followers will claim that Trump really never had a full term b/c Mueller investigation and that he demands another 2 years.
I am not happy with the chants either.
Context is all wrong.
Besides these 4 Squad representatives are the best re-election gift the D could have bestowed.
These chants will continue, and will get louder.
If Trump was really “unhappy”, then at his next rally, once the chant starts, he needs to nip it in the bud and tell his Red Hat Mob to stop, it is not good.
I doubt he will do that. He will stand there, soak it in, wait 10 seconds or so, then continue on with his speech.

If Trump really is upset with the way the crowd acted towards Omar, he won’t mention her or the other three congresswomen at any of his rallies in the near future.
It won’t stop the Red Hat Mob from chanting it.
Then he should tell them to shut up if he doesn’t like it. But we all know he does like it.

Amen to that!
Maybe more networks will cover them wall to wall.
Would not want to miss it.
Trump is lying through his teeth that he was “not happy” with those chants, he loved every second of the idiocy, he is though not happy there was as much blowback from folks that forced him to have to try and make like he didn’t gladly bask in the warm glow of those xenophobic and racist chants from his mindless followers.

Well, we all know, those among us who have not given over our sanity and rational thought processes to the trash heap of Trumpism.
We all know!

Maybe other networks should carry a rally to hear how deranged Trump is and how angry the Red Hat Mob is.
Nothing like having a President call US Congresswomen as “American haters” for disagreeing with some things (1st Amendment be damned!), having the Red Hat Mob chant “send her back”, and hearing the President call a investigative report ■■■■■■■■■■■ All while claiming the “fake news media” is fabricating stories about himself.
Ohh! I know, maybe the other networks can keep a tally of the number of times Trump says “I”. Remember in the good ol days when Obama was the narcissist and forum members played a game guessing the number of times Obama would say “I” during a speech. I remember.

Yeah, the 68% of America who found Trump’s comments to be racist and un-American should enjoy seeing him incite a white mob.
Germany’s Angela Merkel has joined the growing chorus of international voices who came out in support of the US congresswomen:
“I firmly distance myself from it and feel solidarity towards the attacked women,” Merkel said at her annual summer press conference in Berlin.
The chancellor said that “people of very different nationalities have contributed to the strength of the American people.”
She added that Trump’s statements “contradict the strength of America.”
I predict some ugly/dismissive comments about her from Dear Leader and his supporters shortly.
But that is not the game plan. The plan was to make those four the face of the Democrat party. And make them all out to be Socialist Communists. I doubt that he will scrap that. I believe that he thinks it’s a winner. I think he will mention them again. And when the chants start he will make some half-assed attempt to have them stop. Film at eleven.
I’ve been told that’s a no no. -winks and nods-
The plan is to run for re-election by stoking racial animosity and firing up white voters to turn out to “send them back.” Trump walks a fine line here because his playing the race card turns off voters in the middle and can be a powerful tool turn out African-American voters.
Trump gained an advantage in 2016 because African-American turnout fell below the levels of Obama’s two victories. However, African-American turnout rebounded in 2017 (Alabama!) and 2018 with strongly Democratic results – despite Trump holding rallies in a number of key states in 2018.
If Afrcian American turnout in 2020 matches their turnout in 2018 or 2012 that’s probably 2.5-3 Million Democratic votes… Trump’s path to victory becomes very narrow.
Playing the "socialism card may be winning strategy; playing the “racism” card likely takes things too far.
