    Media outlets should not repeat “51st state”.

      Why not? Let people know he said that.

      Not reporting on it before Trump is how people thought it started with Trump.

        No, that’s not accurate. One, reporting on what before Trump? On what? Next, using his idiot terminology as if it is legitimate does not help anything. “51st state” is a disgtusing, moronic and nonsensical phrase he uses and they are legitimizing it.

          American 51st state threats. If they had been reporting on it before Trump then people would realize it didn’t start with Trump.
