Trump, Pershing, Pigs’ Blood, And Egregious Hypocrisy
Donald Trump does and says so many egregious and outrageous things every, single day that sometimes it's quite literally impossible for one person to catalogue and critique them all.
Well on Thursday, as news outlets began to work out the details around the terror attack in Barcelona, Trump tweeted this:
He's told the Pershing story before. Here's what he said at a rally last year:
The General caught 50 terrorists who did tremendous damage and killed many people. And he took the 50 terrori
Got it, with a rousing standing ovation kicked in!!
I have only one question. Was it 25 years or 35 years?
The copy of his tweet specifically says 35 years… then there is his quote: And for 25 years, there wasn’t a problem.
I really would like to have the correct facts.

It’s both.
It’s Trump.
Trump can’t keep up with his lies.
And no lie needs to be reconciled with his peeps.
Every lie works just the way it is.
yeah, exactly. that imaginary figure has changed three times over the past year as far as i can count
and he really did not do a good job on retelling this story the other day – first time I heard him tell it during his campaign he had much more detail which really helps deliver the impact – he spoke of them finding a pig and slitting it open and pouring the blood out and rolling the bullets thru the blood… then he said they gave the last bullet to the 50th man and told him to take that back and show them… He did such a better job and made the story much more entertaining last year. So disappointed. Sad.
