President Donald Trump debuted a brand new call-and-response at a rally in Nashville on Tuesday night, this time centered on the criminal gang MS-13. Trump has defended calling the gang members “animals,” and he asked the crowd, “What was the name?”—to which the enthusiastic crowd responded, “animals!” Trump’s call-and-responses have become a hallmark of his campaign rallies. His most prominent one is used when he discusses his dream for a wall on the southern border financed by Mexico. The president also called House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) an “MS-13 lover.”
