President Trump urges Atlanta Braves fans to continue doing controversial 'chop' at home games

CNN reporter Sara Sidner questions UFC President Dana White about President Donald Trump's presence at sporting events, suggesting his tactics resemble authoritarian leaders. Journalist Emily Austin criticizes CNN's comparison as 'ridiculous,' noting presidents historically attend sports to unify the country. She claims media networks are creating unnecessary friction.

Nope. It's got nothing to do with Caitlin Clark, or the WNBA, or anything in the the transgender category. Nothing to do with the NFL, or CTE, or the MLB and the looming labor dispute.

I'm talking about the famous Tomahawk Chop at Atlanta Braves baseball games. Trump wants it back, and he wants it back NOW!

Trump was in the Atlanta area Wednesday night, visiting a Cobb County high school to promote economic policies ahead of those pesky midterms.

Anyway, former Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker — who is now an executive with the team — was in attendance, so, naturally, Trump called him to the stage.
