Analysis: On the 226th try, Trump hopes you’ll simply accept that there was no collusion
President Trump waves to members of the media Friday before boarding Marine One in Washington. By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow March 8 at 4:39 PM The key to effective branding is repetition. Or so they say, I guess, or so I heard at some point in time. I mean, what do I know about branding?
Trump offered it up Friday morning as he prepared to board Marine One on his way to tour tornado damage in Alabama. In total, he said the phrase “no collusion” five times while waiting to depart for Alabama and added an all-caps mention on Twitter for good measure. According to the database of Trump comments, speeches and interviews at Factba.se, these were the 221st through 226th times that he used the phrase “no collusion” since May 2017.
“This was set up by the Democrats,” Trump said of the investigation into his campaign that Comey had acknowledged under oath a few months prior. “There is no collusion between me and my campaign and the Russians. The other thing is the Russians did not affect the vote. And everybody seems to think that.” Notice that they often cluster around significant events in the Russia investigation or in his presidency.
