President Donald Trump on Tuesday morning weighed in on the redistricting fight in Pennsylvania and urged Republicans to fight the congressional district map drawn by the state supreme court.

Trump acknowledged that the new map could hurt Republicans in the 2018 election since it erases the gerrymandered districts created by the GOP.

The Pennsylvania supreme court announced a new map on Monday that will go into effect for the 2018 midterm elections. Republicans have said that they plan to challenge the new map in federal court.

  1. Stay out of it, Shitgibbon. The issue involves fairness and the right of citizens to vote in way that matters, so their votes are not made meaningless. These are concepts beyond your limited comprehension.

    It isn’t cheating to Trump as long as he gets a “win”.

    His sociopathetic credentials are exposed more every day. His hypocrisy so dovetails with Republicans as a party, the fit was near perfect.

  4. Oh yeah Donnie…Because that’s JUST HOW districting maps are SUPPOSED to look like…snowflakes, right? You whiny piece of garbage. Go back and hide in your gold plated bathroom and let the adults take care of this.

  5. Let’s hope he makes many trips to all of the GOP candidates up for reelection. I’m sure they’ll be welcoming him with open arms, right, guys?
