Trump's Trumpery

On November 22, Trump repeated his claim -- widely regarded as false -- that he saw television reports of Muslims in New Jersey celebrating the 9/11 terrorist attacks. <a href="/2015/11/23/politics/donald-trump-new-jersey-cheering-september-11/index.html" target="_blank">No footage</a> to back up Trump's assertions has been found.
Alan: In a world saturated with video cameras, it is revealing that there is no videotape -- none -- to substantiate The Donald's trumped up "history" of 9/11.

Donald Trump: The Paranoid Style In American Politics And The Ongoing Festival Of Hatred

During the Republican presidential debate on August 6, <a href="/2015/08/07/politics/donald-trump-republican-presidential-debate-megyn-kelly/index.html" target="_blank">Megyn Kelly</a> pressed Trump about <a href="/2015/08/07/politics/donald-trump-republican-presidential-debate-megyn-kelly/index.html" target="_blank">misogynistic</a>, sexist comments he made in the past, such as calling some women "fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals."<br /><br />Trump slammed Kelly for this, calling her questions "ridiculous" and "off-base."<br /><a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2015/08/27/politics/donald-trump-megyn-kelly-fox-news/"><br />After the first GOP presidential debate,</a> Trump said: "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes ... blood coming out of her... wherever." Many accused him of making a lewd comment about menstruation. <br /><br /><a href="http://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2015/08/09/trump-defends-his-blood-remarks-who-would-make-a-statement-like-that-only-a-sick-person-would-even-think-about-that/">Trump told CNN</a>'s State of the Union that only a "deviant" or "sick" person would think otherwise. On ABC's <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/week-transcript-donald-trump/story?id=32957794" target="_blank">This Week</a>, Trump said: "I have nothing against Megyn Kelly, but she asked me a very, very nasty question."<br />


In the wake of December's <a href="/2015/12/03/us/san-bernardino-shooting/index.html" target="_blank">San Bernardino</a>, California, shootings, Trump called for a<a href="/2015/12/07/politics/donald-trump-muslim-travel-ban-early-states/index.html" target="_blank"> travel ban on all Muslims</a> from entering the United States "until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on." He did not give details on how Muslims would be identified, but the Republican candidate did not rule out special identification cards.


An unrelenting Trump took the run-up to Christmas as a chance to <a href="/2015/12/21/politics/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-disgusting/index.html" target="_blank">insult </a>Democrat hopeful Hillary Clinton. He said Clinton's bathroom break in a TV debate was "disgusting" before saying she "got schlonged" by Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential race. "Schlong" is a Yiddish word for penis.


On January 24, Donald Trump boasted at a campaign rally in Sioux Center, Iowa, that support for his presidential campaign would not decline even if he shot someone in the middle of a crowded street.

Remember: If you're terrified, the terrorists won.
And you made their victory possible.
