Trump mentioned the pig fat on bullets. This article doesn’t address that claim.

The British did that with paper patch bullets that the indian troops had to bite the bullet paper off before Loading, used lard in the process caused riots amongst the musi troops.

Here's the actual quote: "Study what General Pershing of the United States did to terrorists when caught. There was no more Radical Islamic Terror for 35 years!"

Nothing in there about bullets.

The account about the burying of Moro rebels bodies with pig carcasses is true and began in the Philippines BEFORE Gen Pershing was in command, but apparently continued to be done after he took command. I read the two pages, 312 & 313 if I remember correctly, in Pershing’s auto-biography today and also footnote #12 for that chapter, in which Dr. Greenwood told about reports of using carcasses.

The story about “bullets dipped in_____” hasn’t been substantiated as fact and continues to live, because, in my opinion, it is too good of a story. And it may have derived from the use of British bullets coated in either lard or beef tallow that was one of the causes of the Sepoy Rebellion in India.
