In his deeply unpopular speech following the shooting in Orlando and in interviews that same day, deeply unpopular Republican nominee Donald Trump insinuated that the president of the United States is in league with terrorists to harm the United States.
“He doesn’t get it or he gets it better than anybody understands,” Trump said. “It’s one or the other.”
And in case you didn't get it the first time:
"We're led by a man that either is not tough, not smart, or he's got something else in mind," Trump continued. "And the something else in mind, you know, people can't believe it. People cannot—they cannot believe that President Obama is acting the ways he acts and can't even mention the words radical Islamic terrorism. There's something going on. It's inconceivable."
Why would Trump believe the president would want to harm the country? Probably because he thinks questioning President Obama’s citizenship and dedication to this country is what made Trump a big deal in the Republican Party to being with.
"I don't think I went overboard. Actually, I think it made me very popular... I do think I know what I'm doing," Trump said in 2013.
Trump was typically furious when his Obama-helps-the-terrorists theory didn’t immediately bring out the pitchforks, so in typical Trump fashion, he’s doubling down on his accusation.
A top secret intelligence report that proves Obama is helping the terrorists and Hillary knew about it? What a bombshell! Or maybe it’s just a bomb.
Let’s take a look.
Over on Keep-Editing-Until-It’s-News Central (also know as Breitbart), they’ve posted their evaluations of this supposedly devastating document, the contents of which are posted at the equally trustworthy Judicial Watch. The document, which does appear to be genuine, was a broadly-circulated high level evaluation of the situation in Iraq and Syria that went to numerous offices in the Department of Defense, Homeland Security, and yes, the Secretary of State’s office.
What treacherous secrets does it reveal?
THE GENERAL SITUATION:
A. INTERNALLY, EVENTS ARE TAKING A CLEAR SECTARIAN DIRECTION.
B. THE SALAFIST, THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, AND AQI ARE THE MAJOR FORCES DRIVING THE INSURGENCY IN SYRIA.
C. THE WEST, GULF COUNTRIES, AND TURKEY SUPPORT THE OPPOSITION; WHILE RUSSIA, CHINA, AND IRAN SUPPORT THE REGIME.
That’s it! Right there! The West supports the insurgency in Syria. Among those in the insurgency? The group that, two years later, would splinter away to form ISIL.
And what other startling revelations does this newly-revealed, four-year-old report on things we already knew tell us? Uh huh … uh huh … uh huh. Nothing. That’s it. Trump’s proof that President Obama supports ISIL terrorists is that, two years before there was an ISIL, “the West” supported the insurgency in Syria. Shocking.
Who was on the other side of this support? Assad, of course. Putin. The Ayatollahs. That’s the side that Trump says we should have been on.
But wait, why would Trump want us on the same side as a brutal strongman who executes his enemies, a brutal strongman who executes his enemies, and a group of brutal strongmen who execute their enemies?
Oh, wait ...
