trump tweets falsehood of general pershing and muslim terrorists




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


Fact Check Military


U.S. General John J. Pershing did not effectively discourage Muslim terrorists in the Philippines by killing them burying and their bodies along with those of pigs.



SNOPES: FALSE

And fuck Trump for thinking he can school anybody on fucking history...that's the same dude that had never heard of Frederick Douglas or Susan B Anthony until some aide informed him of their history...and even then acted like he was the first person ever to appreciate their history! So yeah, Fuck You Trump and your shitty ass right wing history lessons!

When your RW bs websites create your damn memes for you! Hell, googling is that much more work and we know that Trump can't handle that, or educating himself without one page memos with pretty pictures...ugh, unbelievable this idiot is our "leader"

He said it in front of an audience and he honestly expected that to be news to them.

There won't be any extremist bullshit in this country for at least 50 years. Shouldn't be too long before he dies of a massive coronary.

it suits his present agenda and he cannot attack the slaughter in Barcelona directly because he lied that he waits for facts (when the facts didn't suit him Charlottesville).

This is the only angle for him to sneak in a point - he does not give a flying fuck that it is a well exposed LIE.

The United States condemns the terror attack in Barcelona, Spain, and will do whatever is necessary to help. Be tough & strong, we love you!

I am not surprised trump gets history wrong. He does it all the time. But to glorify a sick story like this as something to be proud of is....well.....very nazi-like.
