Trump goes full tin foil hat

[MaggieD]

"Donald Trump waded into the fever swamps on Monday, suggesting in two interviews that President Obama may have a secret agenda that prevents him from combating Islamic terrorists.

The comments added to a long list of conspiracy theories from the presumptive GOP nominee about the president's religion, birthplace and worldview. They also sent a clear message to Republicans who have begged Trump to soften his rhetoric that he's not changing his ways anytime soon.

"Well, there are a lot of people that think maybe he doesn't want to get it," Trump told NBC's "TODAY" on Monday while discussing the attack that killed at least 49 people at a gay club in Orlando over the weekend. "A lot of people think maybe he doesn't want to know about it. I happen to think that he just doesn't know what he's doing. But there are many people that think maybe he doesn't want to get it. He doesn't want to see what's really happening."

1. So tin foil hat

He should be on the board of directors of ALCOA

[Thinkingabout]

2. Either sloppy speech writers who did not check the facts or Trump was trying to pull another scam.

This guy was born here, was a US citizen, banning all immigration would not have stopped him. Tin foil for all the believers.

[rbrnmw]

3. exactly

[PatSeg]

39. He is playing to the base

who want to believe that President Obama is the Manchurian Candidate. I think Trump believes he was being subtle and only base can hear him. Evidently he doesn't understand the concept of "dog whistles".

[lunatica]

4. Please continue Mr. Trump!!

Don't stop! Keep belching your words at us. Please keep digging your grave sir!

[sarae]

6. Agreed, I hope he continues in "filter off" mode

because he's just digging his own grave. I'm thankful he's so stupid that he doesn't realize it.

[malaise]

18. LOL

[maryellen99]

5. And he also said he loves the gay community so so much nt

[sarae]

7. Of course!

Lemme guess - he's the least homophobic person that ever existed, right?

[maryellen99]

9. I just hope the LGBT community doesn't fall for it and think he's their protector nt

[BlueNoMatterWho]

19. They already have. In Phoenix. Unfortunately.

[maryellen99]

20. Damn nt

[maryellen99]

21. They said that's not them nt

It's on their FB page.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

30. Oh thank goodness.

[Metric System]

29. That was a fake Twitter account created solely to endorse Trump on day of tragedy.

[malaise]

8. Don the Con will never forgive President Obama for making

an entire room and the TV audience laugh him to scorn at that Correspondents' Dinner.
He's playing to the racist base - he's not one of us and he's a Muslim. Don the Con is a nasty, racist vulgarian - calling him a despicable human being is too kind.

[Thinkingabout]

12. He provides us with new reasons to encourage voters to turn out to make sure he is defeated.

[malaise]

15. Well if people aren't already encouraged they deserve hiim

I don't see him winning an election in America

[Thinkingabout]

17. Good point, now let's start encouraging a large number turnout for the GE.

[world wide wally]

10. I think Trump is an ISIS sympathizer to be honest.

He wants to allow suspected terrorists to continue to buy guns at will here, and he does everything within is power to help them recruit.
I don't think there is a whole lot more anyone can do short of pulling the trigger himself.

[uponit7771]

14. ^^^THIS^^^^

[Initech]

11. This man is clearly not fit to be president of anything.

[Adrahil]

13. That speech was fucking terrifying. NT

[Native]

16. I guess Trump found out about the President's jihadist training facility at his home in Chicago!

[Else You Are Mad]

22. It is frightening and disgusting...

But, I think Trump loves when these terror attacks occur because with each tragedy, he becomes more likely to win the election. The average American votes out of fear more than any other reason.

God help us all.

[mainstreetonce]

23. When Obama gets on the campaign trail

Shredded Trump

[63splitwindow]

24. Scumbag cons like him...

usually do couch their sleaziest, nastiest, most baseless cowardly accusations in the "I don't know, but a lot of people think..." sort of way. High school gossip strategy...

[tom_kelly]

25. A whole paragraph without saying anything n/t

[LuckyLib]

26. I'm waiting for the big implosion. Trump says something so outrageous, so contemptible,

and so "out there" that his candidacy is toast. Even the craziest Republican politicians will have to distance themselves from him. It will happen! When Lindsey Graham thinks he's nuts, Trump is already halfway there!

[nxylas]

37. That's not how it works

The more outrageous he gets, the more his supporters love it.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

40. Maybe he'll lose a few, but you're right. This is what they love about him.

Not to mention, a large percentage of them don't really mind this latest tragedy because they don't care what suffering people of the LGBT community are subjected to. There is no expectation of any sort of reverence on this occasion.

And, in general, as long as he's being a pompous ass, talking like a punk, and disparaging everyone who's not them, he's their man.

[MFM008]

27. Hes jumping the shark

just a couple weeks before shark week!

[SunSeeker]

28. Demonstrating yet again he should not be allowed anywhere near the oval office. nt

[cutroot]

31. the simple fact that so many agree with him is what makes this the most horrifying

[Cosmocat]

33. I keep saying

HE isn't the issue ...

[Fla Dem]

32. OK, he's really getting scary now. It's no longer funny.

The thought of him getting the daily security briefing is mind boggling.

[Oldtimeralso]

34. Another Story Today...

cites the fact that arms manufacturers stock is rising. The way tRump is campaigning I know I'll get rich by buying ALCOA stock!!!!

[TrollBuster9090]

35. SQUIRREL!

In this case, the tinfoil hat is serving as a shiny object to draw attention away from the fact that Senate Republicans blocked a bill six months ago that would have prevented the Orlando murders.

[Skittles]

36. sorry, but this isn't even CLOSE to full

not for Donald fucking Trump

[Jopin Klobe]

38. tRump has always worn a tinfoil hat ...

... that's the reason for the dead, orange wombat ...
