This from someone who would know. She worked as a close adviser to Trump during the 2016 campaign. She's known him for over 15 years. She was in the West Wing for over a year.

“At those rallies, these things are choreographed. There are section leaders who help to start the chants — so it was intentional and we know they did it so they would start the chants so he could test it,” she explained.

“That was no accident, it didn’t start spontaneously. He knew what they would be chanting,” she concluded. LINK

This makes perfect sense. By claiming the supporters were spontaneous when the blowback came, Trump can disavow them. If the backlash had not come, he'd be claiming credit.

Trump believes everything is about image and public relations. It's all about public perception. And, unfortunately he may be right. More than one author has claimed that military and cabinet positions were filled by a particular individual in large part because they "looked the part." Likewise, others have not been nominated or appointed because they were not the image Trump was looking for, regardless of their qualifications. Remember when Trump described the Chinese president's aides as "right out of central casting"? He said the same thing about his supreme court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as well as general Mattis, his pick for secretary of defense.

It does not surprise me to learn that these so-called spontaneous crowd outbursts are actually choreographed by the Trump campaign. It is consistent with what we know Trump has said in the past. It fits with his "image and brand are everything" philosophy. And it is consistent that Trump supporters are being played for fools as always.
 
If it only hadn’t been Omarosa! Ex-advisor sounds so much better. :shock:
 
This has been. Obvious all along, when the chants start it's always in unison rather than. A few people starting it and others joining in...

I agree.

I read the OP and the quote he posted and thought, "who is this ex-advisor?" I clicked on the link and what do I see? Omarosa! LOL!!

They would have been better off citing an unnamed source.
 
Well this certainly looks credible. "Look what Omarosa said on this website with an extreme leftwing bias!" :lamo

She didn't say it to that website, she was on MSNBC with Donny Deutsch on “Saturday Night Politics.” Deutsch is an old buddy of Trump's.

Yeah, I agree, her credibility is lacking. She knew he was a racist when she went to work for him. Her motives have always been self-serving. But she did work on the 2016 campaign and she does know the tactics used at Trump's rallies, so there's that.
 
I'm kind of surprised people actually need an article to realize what's been obvious from as far back as "lock her up" and "build that wall". Just about anyone who's been in a TV audience knows there are " que" people to get an audience participation. And we also know those people sitting behind him are expected to give an active supportive performance or they're swapped out quickly. The fact it came from Omarosa makes it easy for people to dismiss, but leading audiences is nothing new, and unfortunately this president treats his job like he still on reality TV.

This cannot possibly be surprising. He's a master of the reality television genre. He worked with Mark Burnett for almost seven years.
Of COURSE everything is scripted and choreographed.
Trump dropping a deuce into his golden bowl every morning is choreographed, just in case.

As was pointed out, Omarosa did not say this to the "website with an extreme leftwing bias."

You can say a lot of negative things about her, but she was an eyewitness to Trump for many years and she has not been discredited. And as I pointed out, her account is consistent with what others have said and from what we know from Trump's own public statements.

Go ahead, shoot the messenger. Doesn't change the truth.

The truth being, of course, that because this is not credible news, it's only being reported by extreme leftwing propaganda sites.

I've been to a few tapings of the Jerry Springer show. No difference between a Trump rally and Springer's guest audience.
 
I'm seeing a pattern...

Lock her up!
Build that wall!
Mexico will pay!
Send them back!

Springer's guest audience, i.e. you?

Well I've never been to a Springer taping but yes, that comparison works as would other talk shows. Anyone who watched the video can see the president soaking in the chants from "lock her up" all the way to "send her back". And of course it makes perfect sense for him to test the waters, get the supporter reactions, then reactions across the board. He was no more surprised than I would be seeing the sun set in the west. It'll be interesting to hear if his next rally has a similar "problem" or he been told it's not in his favor to continue down that path.

It's credible in the fact it happens in live audiences to create optics for viewers watching TV every single day. Same with game shows, same with talk shows. It just happens to be a president who thinks he's still on reality TV.

If he were smart he would just have them chanting "DON-ALD-TRUMP"...

No controversy and pure support.

But we all know he is not that bright...
 
From the Link provided: Omarosa Manigault Newman was interviewed on MSNBC by Donny Deutsch on “Saturday Night Politics.”

MSNBC? Highly partisan Trump hating/despising cable. Newman and Deutsch both hate Trump! OK what a corny story! They are going to push Trump bashing to the extreme.
Here is some other stuff they talked about: She was called 'White House Barbie,'" said @Omarosa on @IvankaTrump's involvement in the Trump Administration.

Don't have to say anything else. Why is this "Breaking News?"

Except that he doesn't think he's on reality TV, and even when he was, he didn't have a live audience or engage in anything that you're talking about.

Because the site published within the past 48 hours and the interview took place this past Saturday. Forum rules.

The Left never understands they are part of an inside joke. Where they scream and cry that Trump colluded with Russia , or is a rapist or any other hysterics those teeny-tiny five cent heads can can up with, we have a little fun at their expense with phrases like "Lock her up", USA!!, or "Send her back".


It's simply our way of jabbing you back in the eye and if anyone on the Left could stop blowing snot long enough to pay just a little attention, they'd see these chants are said with big smiles and laughs on our faces. None of it is literal like the Left's calls for Trump's impeachment and jail. We're just doing it to get a rise out of the Left and sho' enough, they never disappoint.

I don't know what's sadder, the fact that you think you're a member of some elite team that's "owning the libs" or the fact that you're so gullible that you don't realize that trump is playing you.
