(FILES) In this file photo taken on July 17, 2019 US President Donald Trump pumps his fists as he speaks for a "Make America Great Again" rally at Minges Coliseum in Greenville, North Carolina. - US President Donald Trump on July 18, 2019 sought to distance himself from the incendiary chant of "Send her back" aimed at a Somali-born Democratic lawmaker during an election rally the night before. "I was not happy with it -- I disagree with it," Trump told reporters when asked about the cry, launched by the crowd in response to an angry tirade by Trump against congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Asked why he did nothing to stop the taunt, instead pausing as the crowd chanted it over and over, Trump responded: "I think I did -- I started speaking very quickly." (Photo by Nicholas Kamm / AFP)
