Yes, by continuing to attack Omar, he let the crowd know that they needed to stop and invite her to stay.

When a reporter asked why he didn’t step in to quell the chant, Trump claimed some credit for doing so. “I think I did. I started speaking very quickly.”
If you had, you would know it for sure. Dumbass.

He’s obviously trying to unite the country, using his bully pulpit in the best way possible.

How can he distance himself?
He started it.
Oh, wait! The Orange Troglodyte is the victim in all this somehow.

Makes fell better knowing Trump was against the chant?
The usual way – he is not responsible for anything he ever said or did, if it is inconvenient in the present moment.
Those were just words that were emitted by his face. He has no connection with, or responsibility, for those.

TR was quite prescient.
Because he has no perspective and can’t comprehend distance.

tRump figures he got away with making Cohen the fall guy for his transgressions.
How hard can it be to make a few thousand of his crowd the scapegoats?
