If Trump Believes It, Then It’s True.

In 2011, when Donald Trump first started saying that Barack Obama wasn’t born in the United States, I figured that this was just Trump’s weekly attempt to get his name into the media because he was already beginning to sound like the candidate he would become in 2016.

For that matter, when Trump expressed his support of Alex Jones and his agreement with Jones in an Infowars interview in December 2015, I figured Trump was just trying to separate himself from the rest of the GOP candidate pack, particularly when he agreed with Jones about the threat from the shadowy New World Order, the secret global cabal which robbed hard-working Americans of their daily bread.

Now I’m beginning to wonder, however, whether we actually elected someone to lead this country who really does walk around with these crazy conspiracy theories dancing inside his head. Is there the slightest chance, for example, that an individual who served as Chief Executive of the United States could actually say that the late Associate Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was ‘murdered’ while he lay in his bed?

Could Trump say something that crazy? He did.

It turns out that a bit of doubt about Scalia’s passing was created by the way the initial media report carried the story based on a misquote of the individual who came into Scalia’s hotel…
