IS TRUMP UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF FUNNY TOBACCO?

One would have to conclude that The Donald must be under the influence of some funny tobacco when he comes up with some of what he says on the campaign trail

Between 1909 and 1913, the U.S. Army under the command of General John Pershing was battling a Moro rebellion in the Philippines. The Moros were a large tribe of Filipino Muslims.

On Friday, during a campaign speech in North Charleston, South Carolina, Trump told his audience this story about Gen. Pershing:

He caught 50 terrorists that did tremendous damage and killed many people and he took the 50 terrorists and he took 50 men and he dipped 50 bullets in pig's blood. And he had his men load his rifles, and he lined up the 50 people, and they shot 49 of those people, and the 50th person, he said; "You go back to your people and you tell them what happened.” And for 25 years, there wasn’t a problem. For 25 years there wasn’t a problem. All right? So we better start getting tough.

Gen. Pershing never did any such thing. Anyone with half a brain would consider this story a ridiculous fable. Dipping bullets in pig’s blood. Executing 49 Moros. And that figment of someone’s imagination ended the Moro terrorism.

How did Trump or his advisors come up with this tale? They got it off the internet. Versions of this story have been around for several years, including one about Israeli settlers coming up with a new way to deter Palestinian suicide bombers – wrapping their corpses in pigskin to prevent their ascent to paradise.

Trump and his advisors, like so many fools, simply fell for the malicious internet mischief originally perpetrated by some smartass Muslim hater. And worst of all, Trump’s audience ate it up.

Of course, Trump has said other ridiculous things since he started campaigning for the presidency. One would have to conclude that The Donald must be under the influence of some funny tobacco when he comes up with those outlandish statements of his.

No matter how ridiculous Trump comes across, a lot of Republicans seem to adore him. He won the South Carolina primary with 32.5 percent of the vote. Sorry, but I can’t help but think that a third of South Carolina Republican voters must be idiots. If not idiots, they must be stealth supporters of Hillary.

You may like what Trump says. So do I, by the way. He either amuses me or amazes me. But I sure do not want a clown to be our next President. We already have one in office now.

If Trump ends up as the Republican nominee, I will vote for him, but I will be holding my nose and filling a barf bag while doing so. I prefer a clown over a sorry ass bitch who will change the ideological makeup of the Supreme Court so that liberal justices will outnumber conservatives for decades to come. Unfortunately though, in all likelihood I’ll be voting for the losing candidate.

Is the glass half empty or half full? Most of the time it's empty with BGB.

I look at Trump as a breath of fresh air. He has started a revolution among voters. Instead of supporting needed change, you tear it down. Nobody is perfect but Trump is pulling in votes on issues that have been ignored and swept under the rug by politicians for special interests. He doesn't owe anyone anything. I like that.

Go turn up MSNBC. They aren't through brain washing you.

If Trump can do this with his campaign spending, imagine what he can do with the deficit.

According to a POLITICO analysis of reports filed Saturday with the Federal Election Commission, through the end of January the campaign of the billionaire real estate showman had spent a total of $24 million. That’s less than half as much as the rivals who finished in a distant second-place tie behind him in South Carolina, Marco Rubio (whose campaign and super PAC and non-profit allies have spent $76 million) and Ted Cruz ($60 million), the analysis found.

To the first Anon, be advised that I refuse to turn on a TV channel (MSNBC) that features Al Sharpton and the likes of Rachel Maddow.

To the Anon who is a disabled veteran, let me thank you for your patriotic military service and the sacrifices you have made. God bless you!
