Trump wants mass murder of terrorists, logic based on hoax

[Morphine Prince 109,977]

Trump first told his version of Pershing's life at a rally in February 2016 in South Carolina, saying to the crowd, "it's a terrible story, but I'll tell you." He said Pershing had dealt with terrorists in the early 1900s, presumably in the Philippines, according to a Washington Post write-up of the rally. Trump said Pershing used blood of pigs, deemed impure in the Koran, to combat terrorists.

"They were having terrorism problems, just like we do," Trump said. "And he caught 50 terrorists who did tremendous damage and killed many people. And he took the 50 terrorists, and he took 50 men and he dipped 50 bullets in pigs' blood — you heard that, right? He took 50 bullets, and he dipped them in pigs’ blood. And he had his men load his rifles, and he lined up the 50 people, and they shot 49 of those people. And the 50th person, he said: You go back to your people, and you tell them what happened. And for 25 years, there wasn’t a problem. Okay? Twenty-five years, there wasn't a problem."

The fact-checking website Snopes debunked this as an internet-created rumor that picked up steam after the attack on September 11, 2001. Pershing was the governor of the Moro Province in the Philippines between 1909 and 1913. He seemed to truly regret loss of life in the province, Snopes wrote.

PolitiFact, also a fact-checking site, asked eight scholars about the story at the time, and "most expressed skepticism that the specific story ever happened, and many added that Trump’s takeaway is wrong-headed."

"This story is a fabrication and has long been discredited," Brian McAllister Linn, a Texas A&M University historian and author of the book "Guardians of Empire: The U.S. Army and the Pacific, 1902-1940" told PolitiFact. "I am amazed it is still making the rounds."
