Sometimes it's hard to say whether or not he's playing to his crowd or he believes what he says. The WH says he was joking. I don't think he meant anything nefarious by it, but I will say that not clapping isn't betraying anything, so either way, no definition fits.
Yeah that was the part that made me think he didn't realize the weight of what he said. Still, when I use my "Trump filter", here's what I hear: "The dems exposed themselves for the assholes they are, by not standing for news that was objectively good for America (more jobs for blacks etc etc). They proved that they're more concerned with their hatred for all things Trump than they are about the people they're elected to represent."
The treason stuff was obviously tongue firmly in cheek, but I get what he's saying. I think sitting, mean-mugging and not clapping (or showing any form of approval) for more black folks working was pretty pathetic, and being more concerned about your party/agenda/hatred for Trump than showing approval of something like that kinda is betraying our country.
It's being incredibly stubborn and divisive over something that should unify us...at a time when we could sorely use it. The black caucus in particular should be ashamed.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
