Most recently, The Donald has been pranked on Twitter (it wouldnt be the first time!), and now users seem to be taking advantage of his over-sized, gullible ego because it works every time! In the latest instance, Trump was fooled into thinking he was paying tribute to a Vietnam vet, who was actually a murderer. Quite the difference.
As Trump confidently believed that the man in uniform was the Vietnam veteran dad of one of his Twitter admirers, other more informed Twitter users quickly identified the man as former U.S. army officer and doctor Jeffrey MacDonald. It turns out, MacDonald murdered his pregnant wife and two daughters in 1979 and is serving three life sentences. Quite embarrassing for Trump, considering he is still receiving tons of criticism for his infuriating comments about McCain. Even his fellow Republicans have slammed the business mogul for his insensitivity and ignorance.

(21,925 posts)like the ones Trump supposedly mistakenly used in his campaign materials and didn't notice their uniforms. That would have really made you go "hmmmm" regarding his sanity and his true intentions.
