Trump: ‘All I Know Is What’s On The Internet’
National Review ^ | March 13, 2016 | TOM S. ELLIOTT

Donald Trump told a crowd in Kansas City last night that the man who attempted to storm the stage during an earlier rally ”was probably ISIS or ISIS-related.” Trump also tweeted “He has ties to ISIS. Should be in jail!” This morning on Meet the Press, Chuck Todd informed Trump the Internet video on which he based his theory is a hoax. “I don’t know if he was or not,”

Trump admitted. “But all we did was put out what he had on his Internet. He’s dragging the flag, the American flag, which I respect obviously more than you.” Trump then told Todd it’s up to him to determine if the protester is actually connected to ISIS.

“We have checked it,” Todd said. “That’s my point, sir. There’s no ties to ISIS for this man.” “All I know is what’s on the Internet,” Trump responded.

That truncated quote leaves an entirely different impression than the full quote. Cute.

There’s an old saying “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothin’ at all”. You’re not winning Ted Cruz any fans.

“You may not know this but NR is part of the vanguard of conservative intellectualism. Besides, it does you no good to adopt a “see no evil; speak no evil; hear no evil” about the Dear Leaders. You must keep an open mind.”

Nice marketing slogan from NR, but it hasn’t been true for years.

My mind is not open to propaganda. That’s brainwashing.

NR is nothing but an eGOP propaganda outlet. It exists merely to participate in DC social affairs and power. It fears Trump because Trump is not a DC insider.

Trump hasn't been part of the eGOP "scene" in DC and those that have spent their entire lives climbing the social ladder in the eGOP are scared they won't retain their positions if Trump wins. Period. THAT is why they oppose Trump.

"Don't look now, but while our best conservative is running a political campaign, Trump is leading a rebellion. Not as a liberal or a conservative politician, but as a successful red-blooded, can-do American capitalist.", Jim Robinson

Also this morning Trump gave his interpretation of the First Amendment freedom of speech and of the press. In particular he would sue to get rid of anyone he claimed misrepresented him (Kelly and Krauthammer) in opinion pieces. He understands free speech and oress, he just disagrees with then. Trump fit anyone’s definition of an autocrat.

Trump has all along been part and parcel of the corrupt process and now we are supposed to place the fox in charge of the henhouse.

He charged at the man, so we can ascribe whatever description we want about the character of this A-hole...

Speaking of "informed analysis"....

That’s the kind of deep thinker we need as president.

“There’s no ties to ISIS for this man”

Define “ties”.

The guy is a top shelf Ftard attention whore. Nothing shows what a edgy rebel you are like being an ISIS poser.

Now that is an intelligent comment. We can all agree with that. There is no place for thuggery. That said, its sad when a candidate gets all his information from talks shows and believes all he reads on the internet.

Sometimes parody is a good way to get across one’s point.

What do you expect after your piss poor insulting analysis in post 2?

You drop an insult, then you whine when people insult you?

You are disgusting and pitiful.

Your post #6 criticized bigbob because he didn’t use informative analysis; yet it was OK for you not to use it.

Your the one who says Trump believes everything he reads on the internet. I think Donald is living in your head.

I saw pics of the perp in an ISIS propaganda picture. Whether it was a doctored ISIS picture or not who’s to know. I can deduce from it, however, that the perp was stomping on the US flag. And that he lunged for Trump. What’s your motivation in defending him, other than to try to trash the victim?

I thought we saw an ISIS tag on this guy’s Twitter posts.

According to NBC news it was all just a college prank...but this guy Dimossimo is a professional agitator.

Here he is at Stone Mountain last summer where it looks like he bit off more than he could chew...
