At a campaign stop in Iowa today, Donald Trump's speech was interrupted by protesters. One of the protesters was wearing a turban and after a brief interruption they were escorted out of the building. After the protesters was gone, Trump asked the crowd, "He wasn't wearing one of those hats was he?" The media pounced all over Trump claiming that he had mocked someone over their religion.
Only one problem.
He didn't do that.
Trump was actually referring to his "Make America Great Again" hats that many of his supporters wear at campaign rallies.
Here's the video.

Thank YOU for all of the work you do to find and post great threads!
Thanks!
Welcome. :-)
Yes, I agree with nopardons, thank you Captain for your good work here.
Kudos Capt.....you’re a real trooper!
I saw the story and it was obvious Trump was referring to THE hat - Make America Great Again red hat. Instead, the man had on a red turban.
But since when the MSM care about truth? It fits their narrative, they go with the lies.
OMG FR Conservatives Unite. Trump is falsely accused.
He is never rude crass or coarse. This is a setup.
My conservative angst is killing me.
Never mind my concern.
McConnell and the other GOPe will come to his rescue. Maybe FOX.
They love him cuz they think he’s no threat.
Business as usual w/Trump. Greed & lobbyist $. He likes greed and money.
There were many here that were all too happy to join the media in this attack.
The Media lie again? Say it ain’t so Joe. Say it ain’t so. I mean, whoda thunk it?
Jealousy is the strongest of emotions!
I have no idea what that means???

I believe he was trashing the dude with the turban. He lied about mocking the disabled dude too. He routinely mocks protesters. And trashes everyone else who dares oppose him.
He would unite the USA how? He is more divisive than bambi. Some do love him because he trashes like the left, very skilled at it, but that is because he is a lefty.
He has nothing in common with Reagan.
A turban is not a hat. Just saying.
Odd thing to say-—one of “those” hats. Why wouldn’t he say one of OUR hats, or one of MY hats?’
It’d be out of character for Trump to mock anyone. ///Sarcasm off///
I’d say he has more in common with a professional wrestler, except they’re acting. With Trump, the obnoxious, mean-spirited approach to his fellow man is the real soul of the man.
