Trump told the audience - which included a woman in a shirt that read 'Make Racism Great Again' - that this was an example of how he would get 'tough' if he was president.

I think it is a strange story for him to tell.
Whether or not it is accurate... and I doubt if it is ... it is appealing to our worst instincts.
Yes I want to defeat and destroy ISIS. No I don’t think Donald Trump has the plans or the guts to do it.
But why glory over imagined torture ... thinks that Muslims would do.
We don’t have to become the enemy to defeat the enemy.
Thank you. Very interesting and informative. I love military history.

Trump gets no flak, only free publicity.

Thank you, Good to hear from you again. Are you back to flying in the states?

Trump constantly gets a pass on garbage that would destroy anyone else.
Had Cruz, or Carson told this story, they would have been blasted from every angle.
The NWO will protect their boy.
Exactly. Whether every word of the story is true makes no difference. Black Jack knew how to deal with Muslims.
The point is, Trump had the big picture right if he didn't have the details down. And of course, the detractors go straight for the nitpick.
It’s axiomatic that the absence of evidence does not constitute proof. There seems to be agreement that Pershing did indeed threaten to do exactly what is described in the article as a fake story. In criminal cases, we have no difficulty believing that someone who previously threatened a murder victim is the most likely killer. If Pershing did carry out his threat, I doubt that he would have advertised it outside the immediate theater of conflict, but we’ll probably never know for sure. However, few would dispute that it is a rational strategy to gain control of religious fanatics by cutting them off from the heavenly paradise they believe will result from their militant activities. In a broader sense, passive, fearful, emasculated rules of engagement have prevented Western countries from dealing decisively with the threat of radical Islam. Trump’s willingness to talk about breaking out of this politically correct straitjacket brings a breath of fresh air.
Donald Trump told a story about the murder of 49 Muslim prisoners with bullets dipped in ‘pig’s blood’ in a speech on Friday
The audience in South Carolina cheered after he finished the story, saying each Muslim was shot and the last told to run off and share what happened
Trump said that the man behind this was US Army General John Pershing and it happened during the ‘early 1900s’
The story is not true and never happened.

The fact that Snopes was unable to even fictionally refute it does lend some credibility to it.

Trump tells a fake story of watching the towers from his office, he was in Chicago that day.
A Bing search this AM of General Pershimg and the Philipines brought up their image page with at least three front-page news stories from back then about the incident. I could enlarge those front pages, but when I tried to click through I got a message “story removed by....”. This very day, the thought masters are erasing history, so it seems. I hope some very good researchers have access to the newspaper archives that would have those stories.
Gary Cooper made a movie (1939) about that event called "The Real Glory". You can find it on You Tube.
I can't remember for sure but I think the credits said it was based on a true story.
Yeah, even a blind squirrel goes nutz every now and then, or something like that.
Hai - yep, returned over a year ago. Now flying out of Seattle, bizjets. R/Janey
I’m a Cruz man. That said  ’Make Racism Great Again’ is total BS. Either the reporter made it up or the person is an anti-Trump plant.

"We Don't Care"
I don’t care about the fake story either. I posted it to point out the Photoshopped picture with the racist t shirt.
I posted this because I think it has a Photoshopped picture. It would be an advantage to Trump if it were proven.
