Yesterday's Trump Rally Was Textbook Illustration Of How He Lies, "Conspiracizes" And Fakes News

Trump last night also spread a false conspiracy theory being batted around on far-right sites that Democrats are funding the current caravan of about 4,000 people moving from Honduras toward the Southern border. "Now we're starting to find out, and I won't say it 100 percent, I'll put it a little tiny question mark on the end, … a lot of money has been passing through people to try to get to the border by Election Day, because they think that is a negative for us,” the president said in Missoula, Mont. “Number one, they are being stopped. Number two, regardless, that's our issue.”

Trump suggests Democrats are supporting migrant caravan: 'It didn't just happen'

“Trump appeared to be referring to a video that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), a frequent ally, posted on Twitter on Wednesday that supposedly depicted migrants in Honduras ‘giving cash’ to migrants in the Central American country as they set off for the U.S.,” explain Politico’s Christopher Cadelago and Brent Griffiths. “Going even further, Gaetz called for an investigation to examine whether ‘US-backed NGOs’ or the financier George Soros, a frequent subject of conservative conspiracy theories, were behind the alleged payments. Trump himself tweeted out the video on Thursday. Regardless of what was actually being passed out in the video, where men are shown handing something to women waiting in line, there was evidence that the video was actually shot in Guatemala, not Honduras.

“At the rally, the president added that Democrats figured ‘everybody coming in’ was going to vote for their candidates — though he did not mention that only legal citizens can participate in elections, and that attaining nationality and registering to vote is a process that can’t be completed before Nov. 6. … On Trump’s way to the Montana rally, scenes of the caravan played on a loop on Fox News, to which TVs aboard Air Force One were tuned.”
