It was only a matter of time. Donald Trump joined Michael Savage’s Tuesday radio show to talk about Antonin Scalia, and the result was . . . exactly what you’d expect:
SAVAGE: Donald, I need to come back to the topic we’ve all been screaming about here, which is Scalia, was he murdered. I know it’s pretty brutal to say that, and I’m not wanting to drag you into this, but this is going to be bigger and bigger and bigger. I went on the air and said we need the equivalent of a Warren Commission, we need an immediate autopsy before the body is disposed of. What do you think of that?
TRUMP: Well, I just heard today. . . . You know, I just landed and I’m hearing it’s a big topic, the question, and it’s a horrible topic. But they say they found a pillow on his face, which is a pretty unusual place to find a pillow. I can’t tell you — I can’t give you an answer.

Well yes, a pillow over a dead body’s face is a strange place to find it.
I have little respect for Trump but I actually am glad he said this as maybe it will help force a little more investigation into Scalia’s death.
Trump was probably reading Drudge’s headlines, like millions of other Americans.

Trump needs to get his facts straight. The pillow was not over his face.
What, specifically, was wrong with his answer?
Aside from the fact his answer bears little resemblance to the headline.
Maybe he was killed...did you ever think of that???
After all, it was a very convenient event for the radical left tyrants we are being subjected to.
I agree that he talks before he thinks the implications through sometimes. He needs to filter his comments, and sometimes the best comment is to say you have no comment without the facts.
He doesn’t have to answer everything thrown at him. In fact, I often think the reporters bait him to get a controversial response.
Trump is saying nothing that many of us have not said already. There is something very fishy about the whole episode. And from what everyone knows about this administration, the assumptions are only logical. Mr. Trump stay on top of this little mystery of a very large nature. WTP deserve the truth and we will never hear it if not for you.
“they say they found a pillow on his face”
That’s not what was said.
This is Chinese Whispers.
But would a killer who smothered the justice with a pillow leave it over his head?
What does that mean in regards to this national story?
Dumb a**, yes it was.
If the killer wants us to know that he is a government employee and above the law, he would leave the pillow on the face.
That kind of signal is perfect: Those who wish to remain asleep will remain asleep. Those who are awake will get the message, and those who wish to remain asleep will call them names, like “conspiracy theorist.”
My God, is a non answer from Trump worthy of an article from National Review? It must be - people are desperate to take out Trump over anything and everything - this is a nothing burger. Savage is the one who told Trump about the pillow being over his face - he hadn’t heard that. You Cruzbots are desperadoes.
Head does not equal face. It was over his head. No one there has ever said the pillow was over his face.
Who is the dumb ass now?
Sure.
All those who commit crimes do not do perfect jobs. Bad guys leave behind cell phones at homicide scenes, ID's, wallets, you name it. If there was a homicide the suspect, they could have become spooked, scared or distracted and fled before making things nice. Who knows.
Bottom line, an autopsy should be performed. No doubt they're already looking at everyone who was there. Or should be. This is just common sense and routine if red flags exist.
