   I think Googling for war information is above tRump’s capabilities. He might learn some facts.
   …………………..
   Here is information from Thom Hartmann’s blog:

   Does Donald Trump Only Believe Stuff He Gets From Right-wing Email Chains?
   It’s starting to seem like it.

   A terrorist drove a van down a busy pedestrian street in Barcelona, Spain yesterday, killing at least 13 people and injuring as many as 80.

   Donald Trump has responded to this tragedy by resurrecting a fake news story from the campaign trail about how a US General stopped terrorism in the Philippines by shooting captured Muslim insurgents with bullets dipped in pig’s blood.

   “Study what General Pershing of the United States did to terrorists”, Trump tweeted, “There was no more Radical Islamic Terror for 35 years!”

   This Pershing story is literally fake news. It never happened.

   Politifact gave it a “pants on fire” lie rating when Trump first mentioned it at a South Carolina campaign stop last year.

   So why is the president still talking about it, especially at a moment like this?

     The limit of the Kremlin’s Agent Orange is Twitter. He’d get lost on a Google search.

   Mitch McConnell called out the President over the latter’s remarks on Charlottesville. Interesting, huh? I mean, when McConnell has, vis-a-vis your position, the moral high ground, you know you are in trouble.

   I see only one bright light in all this. From the Chthonian depths he’s dug himself into, it’s unlikely that the President will be able to pretend that he is exercising any moral authority with regard to his legislative agenda–his despicable, racist, profoundly un-American RAISE [sic] Act and his ludicrous, racist wall.

   We’ve certainly witnessed an historic first during the last few days–a President of the United States attempting to spin a Nazi rally. Who would have ever thought such a thing possible?

     AMEN, Pip.

     Not only for Native Americans. We now have a WHITE supremacist way of educating our students. Right now our educaitonal system is about who gets the big $$$$$$ from those awful standards and tests. Follow the money. Never forget this one.
