Media outlets should not repeat “51st state”.

All mainstream media does is give publicity to Chump

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.

This is a really stupid line of reasoning.

How do you figure? America makes these threats for years, no one cares to report on it then it gets reported on with Trump and the loser thinks it shouldn't be reported on.

Because they weren't real threats when the government wasn't the ones saying it...

I don't care about random pundits saying bullshit
