... Before President Donald Trump stepped on stage for a rally in North Carolina on Wednesday, his senior adviser and daughter in law Lara Trump personally warmed up the crowd for the racist "send her back" chant. Now, she's trying to distance the president ...

"He wasn't the one that was chanting it," Lara Trump said during an appearance on Fox News on Friday morning. "He started talking about the 'Squad' and some of his issues with them and things he thought were very anti-American."

Lara Trump went on to blame the crowd for starting the chant ...

"The crowd themselves started chanting this. And it wasn't the whole crowd, it was a couple of people right there in the front. But he didn't say it" ...

But Lara Trump did set up the chant in her address to the audience before the rally ...

President Donald Trump has hired his son's brother-in-law to oversee an Energy Department office that apparently is dismantling some of former President Barack Obama's climate change initiatives.

Lara Trump's brother, Kyle Yunaska, has been named chief of staff of the Office of Energy Policy and Systems Analysis, E&E News reported on Wednesday. Lara Trump is married to Eric Trump, the president's third child.

Yunaska was promoted into his new role from his original post as assistant to the secretary on the "beachhead" team of temporary political appointees in the Energy Department, which he joined in February.

The whole family is involved in the gaslighting of America. I guess Trump's cult will believe this and that's all he's worried about. If he can keep them on his side (and with enough help from Russia) he might be able to claim victory in 2020.

They are forever trying to project the idea of big balls, but the truth may be that they can’t find them.
