1. So now he will say he thought Tapper said, Daisy Duke, not David Duke
2. Then he thought Tapper said, White Pizza Supreme, not White Supremacist
3. Then he thought Tapper said 'okay, okay, okay,' not KKK.
4. Then he thought Tapper said 'pension plan' not Klu Klux Klan

What a moron

and salute his crowds openhanded as he calls on his supporters to savagely beat people they don't like and he'll pay their legal fees.

Is America ready for these thugs to make America hate again?

16. Trump Tweets Fake Gandhi Quote He Got From Sarah Palin (IMAGES)
Tue Mar 1, 2016, 12:55 AM
Mar 2016

Sarah Palin posted a meme to her Facebook page, which included the fake Gandhi quote, to support Trump. We know facts and checking them are a concept foreign to her, so that’s not totally surprising. Trump totally ran with it, though, and now he looks even dumber than her which is something you really have to try hard to do.



... People should know not to use a hair dryer while sitting in a bathtub full of water, just like they should know not to repeat something Sarah Palin said without fact-checking it first. Trump seems to have not gotten the memo on that as you can see below. .....



.... Maybe he will just say “It’s an interesting quote, even though I totally knew it was fake.” Whatever he says, it’ll at least be better than explaining that he knew he quoted Mussolini. ....

19. CNN sez, about that quote
Tue Mar 1, 2016, 12:16 PM
Mar 2016
The origins of the quote can possibly be traced back to a speech believed to be delivered in 1918 by trade unionist Nicholas Klein.

According to the "Proceedings of the Biennial Convention of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America," he spoke a version of it during an address to a gathering in Baltimore.

"And my friends, in this story you have a history of this entire movement," Klein said, according to the book.
"First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you.
And that is what is going to happen to the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America."
