Trump tells a false story, and the haters lap it up.
Interesting.. Because TECHNICALLY the story might be false ONLY BECAUSE -- Pershing wasn't the one to do this thing. But other commanders in the same conflict -- PROBABLY DID.. Go read the Snopes link on this..
Pershing THREATENED to do those things. Other commanders DID similar things. So what you have here is "technicality" -- when you refer to it "as a lie"... I'm no fan of Trump at all. But the level of political debate in this country is a real pig stye right now.
And I'm only interested in how much candidates know and what type of judgement they might make.
So -- if this WAS a useful tool in backing down drug-adled Muslim terrorists --- it could be more effective than their tool of physical brutality and beheadings..
