DELUSIONAL - Donald Trump takes credit for release of American prisoners from Iran



MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump took credit for a prisoner swap between Iran and the United States that brought home four Americans, including a reporter for the Washington Post, on the same day that United Nations inspectors said that Iran has met its obligations under a landmark nuclear deal reached with six world powers.

"So I've been hitting them hard and I think I might have had something to do with it," Trump told a crowd of activists at the South Carolina Tea Party Convention. "You want to know the truth? It's a part of my staple thing, I mean, I go crazy when I hear about this, you go absolutely wild because how is it possible?"

If they haven't realized it yet, I guess they never will.

He is his own biggest fan, that is for damn sure.

So, is he then indirectly criticizing himself when he said it wasn't a good deal because they "got more" than we did? He sure bashed the arrangement at first.

The longer he goes, the more I'm astounded by how many people just don't know and don't care if anything he says is true. They just like the emotional rush. They like being a mob, and they're apparently utterly unconcerned that he's playing them like a cheap banjo.
