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.

4. Donnie Dumb Ass gets his "facts" wrong again.

Who is this idiot following on twitter?

5. Excellent takedown!

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!

6. a 'president' who just tweets shit he sees on the internet...how dangerous is that?

he could have googled this and found out it was false, but then it wouldn't have fit his narrative

[Docreed2003]

7. And who needs google

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"

[Leith]

18. He Didn't Even Know That Lincoln Was Republican

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

8. Bury the Nazis alongside tRump

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.

9. SInce when does the Con give a shit about truth?

Fuck the lying Con

[spanone]

10. well there you go again...(reagan) Bwahahahahahahaaa

but shit that's so easily verified as FALSE....oh well, truth is too much to expect from the 'president' in these times.

[malaise]

11. He doesn't care - it's his demented truth because

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.

[spanone]

12. he's already called it terrorism...

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

[malaise]

13. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Oh My

What's another lie to the Con?

[spanone]

14. no shit, it's really, really, really hard to believe this ignoramus is anywhere near the presidency

[malaise]

16. I don't know why I thought he'd be unable to change his position on this one within days

It's pathological with this scumbag.

[spanone]

17. he's absolutely shameless in his lying...just doesn't care who knows he's lying

he knows his ignorant base won't look any of his crazy shit up

and if the media reports it, it's fake news

[chelsea0011]

15. Even if what trump said was true, is he advocating those methods? It is beyond sick.

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.

[LeftInTX]

19. OMG!!! Can't believe he's that stupid

Duh, if pig blood deterred terrorists, it would have been used by Rumsfeld

[Initech]

20. But there's still plenty of radical white people terrorism to go around!
