was it pre-planned, deliberate and an intentional chant prompted by Trump's campaign people?

It's almost like Trump told his campaign people that they need to come up with a new chant for the rallies to replace 'Lock Her Up'.

I just can't believe that this crowd came up with that chant all by themselves. I would like to hear from the media people in the room as to how this chant broke out. Did they think it was prompted by Trump's campaign people.

it had to have been started by his people, otherwise there would have been differing words used. This needs to be investigated and publicized.

or Miss USA, or when he announced he was running. Every time he was on during the campaign American flags were carefully displayed behind him. Every time.

Everything is FOR show and is THE show with Trump. Makeup, lighting, backdrops, people, flags, everything.

With the Obamas we saw them being casual in the Oval Office. With Trump we only see the Oval Office being used like a stage set. Usually with him sitting and signing something or other and surrounded and flanked by standing sycophants. With Obama we would see him playing some basketball to blow off steam. Trump just jumps on Airforce One and goes to Mar a Lago and supposedly golfs.

It’s all staged. All of it.

IOW, a corrupt, rinky-dink, two-bit, rip-off, wannabe affair, not the actual, far more prestigious Miss America pageant.

Not that I'm a fan of either in concept, but we should not grant him any additional, unearned imprimatur, IMHO

Those pageants are anathema to us old feminists. I didn’t know there was two of them!

I hear ya ... I think they're both lame, but Trump's little pageant is such piddly nonsense ... at least Miss America has some vague semblance of stature/respectability.
