Huffington Post
Trump claimed "The Silence of the Lambs" killer threw his support behind him in an awkward flub on Saturday.
Former President Donald Trump ate up alleged support from Hannibal Lecter in a terrifying slip-up at an Iowa rally.
The former president criticized open border policies on Saturday and claimed people were coming to America from insane asylums before bringing up The Silence of the Lambs.

You know why I like him? Because he said on television on one of the I love Donald Trump. So I love him. I love him. I love him. He said that a long time ago and once he said that, he was in my camp, I was in his camp. I dont care if he was the worst actor, Id say he was great to me.
