Trump's pants are on fire. Again. Why does this matter? Who cares if the President of the US gets his "facts" from email chain letters? If you have any respect for his office, if you're a citizen of the republic he's driving off a cliff, you do.
I just posted this in another thread but I'll share it again here. After Trump used this bullshit story last year, Corey Lewandowski went public and admitted that Trump knew it was bullshit. http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/corey-lewandowski-trump-pigs-blood-story/2016/06/21/id/734935/ Instead of being Presidential yesterday he once again reverted to his trolling type. This man is a disgrace to our country.
This story does not add up because it is not true. It was fabricated by either Obama haters or Trump lovers. It was created by some liars or liar and spread it on the internet. People of low intelligence fell for it and spread it among their friends. This story was debunked long ago. Trump has spread this false story and other false stories.
Perhaps you should all do some cuddling yoga and calm yourselves. In 1941, TIME ran a letter to the editor from a soldier named J. R. McKey who had served with Pershing in the Philippines decades before. In the letter, McKey describes using pigs in burials to deter Muslim insurgent activities, but does not ascribe the act to Pershing. McKey wrote, “U.S. soldiers … had a pretty good cure for juramentado [Moro swordsmen] activities. Knowing the horror of the Mohammedan for any contact with swine, and particularly with its blood, these American roughnecks, when they had killed a juramentado, held for him a very public funeral. The body of the defunct bad man having been deposited in the grave, a pig was brought, stuck, its blood sprinkled freely over the D B M, the dead pig thrown in with him, and the burial completed.” Some reports do say that Pershing was engaged in burying Muslims with pigs or throwing pig’s blood on them. According to the History News Network, a Chicago Daily Tribune article from 1927 describes Pershing sprinkling prisoners with pig’s blood, then setting them free to warn others of being doused with the blood. “Those drops of porcine gore proved more powerful than bullets,” the article wrote.
Why would he do that? What do these imaginary stories have to do with anything? Why would the leader of a country make up silly and false stories over a tragedy in Spain? That is INSANE. BTW, one of the perps was, like Trump, an admirer of Nazis.....
Thanks for posting that. It's hilarious watching a Trumper flail around gasping idiotically for excuses ......
What has that got to do with anything ? Flailing around trying to protect Trump is making you look kinda silly Can't answer the questions FoxHastings said: ↑ Why would he do that?

Pershing himself wrote about it. The actual entry has been removed from Wiki since this popped up. Can't let facts get in the way of a false left wing narrative.
Awww, isn't that cute.....no defense for Trump so you are flailing around...and it's hysterically funny...... This is almost as funny as watching righties defend Nazis !!
