    The story is unsubstantiated like much of the fake news about Trump. Pershing buried Muslims with pigs.

    That has not been demonstrated in practice. Perhaps your claim is only self delusion. Of course since you think that somehow you have proven that Trump's lie is true I guess the self delusion is proven.

    Like pretending an old story is current. It's possible you're the one with delusions.

    I don't pretend to know which story he was referring to, since he didn't say.

    Only you do that haha.

    That had nothing to do with Trump claiming Pershing dipped bullets in pig's blood and shot 49 prisoners...as I said "in your mind only" :)

    Intellectual honesty requires that we look closely at what Trump tweeted:

    "Study what General Pershing of the United States did to terrorists when caught. There was no more Radical Islamic Terror for 35 years!"

    The tweet does not say or even imply what Pershing did. It tells its readers to go out and look it up for themselves. The implication is that Pershing did something that stopped "Radical Islamic Terror" for 35 years, but the tweet does not suggest what that might have been.

    He is leaving himself a lot of room to wiggle. He is ensuring that he isn't pinned down to facts that can be proven to be false. Although everyone assumes he is referring to his "50 bullets dipped in blood" story, I expect - if he is pinned down - Trump will rely on this:

    "A Chicago Daily Tribune article from 1927 has a story where Pershing had prisoners from the Moro Rebellion in the Philippines. The Moros were Muslims who resisted American or any other occupying force.

    The Moros had swordsmen, called Juramentados, who were killing Christians in this uprising. It had to be stopped. General Pershing was given this difficult task.

    The Tribune article says Pershing sprinkled some prisoners with pig's blood, which the Juramentados believed would condemn them for eternity. But then Pershing let the prisoners go. He issued a warning to others about being sprinkled with the pig's blood. The Tribune article said "those drops of porcine gore proved more powerful than bullets.""

    Trump was watching Mangal Panday and mistook the Sepoys for Fillipinos.
