Youve seen what happened in Paris, and Nice. All over Europe, its happening, he said to the assembled military leaders. Its gotten to a point where its not even being reported. And in many cases the very, very dishonest press doesnt want to report it. They have their reasons, and you understand that.

(23,855 posts)c'mon Trump, don't leave everyone guessing. sure, we could make some up, but they might not have culprits from ethnic groups you specifically want to scapegoat or victims you want to martyr. best if you tell everyone what the media missed, so you can ensure coverage of these very important imaginary disasters.
