Donald Trump Jr. spreads ridiculous "Hillary pays pollster; Trump really leads FL 74-9" meme

[muriel_volestrangler]

He's either as dumb as a bag of rocks, or he thinks Trump supporters all are.

On Tuesday, Trump Jr. used his Twitter account to circulate a visibly fake letter, purportedly authored by Clinton, to nearly 630,000 followers. The letter, which appears on crudely designed Hillary for America campaign stationary, claims to originate with the former secretary of state’s national campaign headquarters.

The user who created the tweet proclaimed in all-caps that the letter is among files stolen from Democrats and released by WikiLeaks and, ironically enough, concludes with the hashtag “#RiggedElection.” Within the first four hours, the message was retweeted by more than 800 other accounts, including Trump Jr.

The letter was crafted to suggest Clinton was bribing pollsters—specifically, Public Policy Polling (PPP), which conducts polling on behalf of Democratic clients—to skew their results in her favor. It reads as follows:

From: Hillary
To: Public Policy Polling
Your latest poll is unacceptable. We aren't paying you $760,000 per month to show a FIVE POINT LEAD. Are you trying to make Trump win? We will be ending our contract with your company unless results improve quickly.

Tom Jensen, director of PPP, said that his firm had found over the last year that Trump supporters “will believe almost anything—and evidently that includes the candidate’s own son.”

More on the saga of just how stupid Trump supporters are here - the PPP Twitter feed just points and laughs at them, with replies like:

Is el Trumpito in on it, or is he so gullible that he falls for anything?

Either way, his post-Soviet mentors must be happy with the result of their efforts.

For a bunch of so-called "anti-kommanists," the Republicans sure are enthusiastic in embracing their tactics.

8. Or he could be sucking up to his rich but capricious 70-yo dad.

This sounds like the kind of thing Sr. would like.
