The media have spent several days covering the noxious chant --"Send them back" -- that broke out at President Donald Trump's North Carolina rally. The chant was inspired by a tweet from the President, saying that congresswomen Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley and Rahida Tlaib should"go back" to the"broken and crime infested places from which they came.
Critics rightly condemned the President for encouraging this racist message among his loyal base. No longer shy about calling out Trump's use of racist tropes, politicians and reporters came down hard on his injection of dangerous rhetoric into his reelection campaign. And though Trump later said he didn't like the chant, he did nothing to stop it.Trump is trying to repeat historyBut here's the problem: This kind of nonstop coverage is exactly what the President counts on.
Opinion Mastermind is pretty exaggerated..

Opinion CNN fake news..CNN id very dangerous & destructive to the US..nothing you report or tweet has any truth..rating & creditability continue spiral out of control..
Opinion Very true. The media has no clue. All of them are promoting this racist
Opinion Because and there MSM cronies continue to push any narrative that is anti realDonaldTrump. How come you don’t report his 50% favorable poll results. Higher than Obama’s at this time in office. Or his “first step” which just released predominantly blacks from prison.
Opinion Trump is a puppet not a mastermind. He's doing what the puppet master wants
Opinion He is not a Mastermind! Cut the crap!
Opinion realDonaldTrump is smarter than media and that's what pisses media off and why they hate him. No one can help the fact that today's media is stupid.
Opinion He is a racist and will use any means to get what he wants and that is too be president for life. When it's too late for those who need help the most who will judge those who stood by and did nothing we all have a responsibility to help others in times of trouble

Opinion CNN , DO YOU EVER HAVE SOMETHING POSITIVE TO SAY ABOUT YOUR PRESIDENT
Opinion Look let's put our cards on the table. Old media are no longer the gate keepers. All people can relay information world wide, at any time. It's over. Get use to it.
Opinion CNN just upset because no matter how negative they are their ratings keep dropping. Trump is still standing and in 200 days the House has done nothing to improve the lives of America citizens-their employers
Opinion The idea is outrage, denial, and repeat keep hubbub and furor without abatement. Don’t take the bait.

Opinion The road less travelled by Republicans in the last 3 years, will become a well worn freeway away from Trumpland to any where but. It maybe to the Independents or if the Democrats made intelligent changes, they may attract the majority. Either way the polls say the exodus is HUGE.

Opinion The left call Trump supporters Nazis. Have attacked countless people with weapons. They ruin careers. They destroy jobs. They shot Republicans at a baseball field and fire bombed a holding facility. But Trump's people said some bad words! You people are completely insane.
Opinion DC political leaders are gas lighting American tax payers. Specifically, America's national debt is at 22.5 Trillion, the U.S. budget deficit is 1.1 trillion. America is on the way to falling into a financial abyss. Politicians are ignoring an fast moving disaster
Opinion I will not watch CNN even if they gave me a million dollars
Opinion The rage that seems to be encouraged could lead to a wave of assassinations across political party lines and that would truly be tragic . I beg all to reduce the passions that threaten to incite violence.
