Trump, The Video Star

Think back to last year….cannot be that hard it was 5 days ago……the last Dem debate of the year and our lady of the web, Clinton, made her now famous or maybe infamous (that will depend on your political persuasion I guess) statement about Mr. Trump…..Hillary Clinton Says Trump Is ‘Becoming ISIS’s Best Recruiter’

And that lead to a firestorm of accusations and rebuttals from the Trump side of this silly little coin……Trump Calls Clinton a ‘Liar’ Over Video Claim

All this drama did was give the fact checkers something to do and the media had their story for the next couple of days…..

Can you remember this or did all that turkey go to your brain instead of your ass?

Anyway the fact checkers pointed out that Clinton’s accusation was a…well I should I put it?  A lie.  Trump is not being used as a recruitment tool…..But then over the holiday break we had a oops moment……

Donald Trump’s call for a “complete shutdown” of Muslims entering the US has made it into a jihadist recruitment video. The video released Friday by Somalian al-Qaeda affiliate al-Shabab focuses on racial issues in the US and features video of Trump’s speech sandwiched between old clips of militant leader Anwar al-Awlaki warning that the US would turn against its Muslim citizens, reports Reuters. “Yesterday, America was a land of slavery, segregation, lynching, and Ku Klux Klan, and tomorrow, it will be a land of religious discrimination and concentration camps,” says al-Awlaki, an American citizen who was killed in a 2011 drone strike in Yemen.

The video, which cites recent police shootings in the US, urges African-Americans to convert to Islam and fight either overseas or at home, reports the New York Times, which notes that this appears to be the first time Trump has featured in a militant video, despite what Hillary Clinton claimed during a debate last month. ISIS and al-Qaeda are rivals, but the recruitment video linked to the latter group has been gaining traction among ISIS-linked groups online, CBS reports.

To be fair…..Trump is not the only focus of this video…..

Clinton, while telling a lie has become prophetic….sadly it was only going to be a matter of time before Trump’s words showed up somewhere on the net to incite others…..

I know that many Americans are worried about the future and for our nation…….I personally think that making Americans fear, distrust and yes hate our neighbors is not the way to insure our safety…..

All this rhetoric is nothing new…..it was heard about the Italians, Irish, Chinese, Germans, Cubans, Haitians and Vietnamese…..we are better than this division that is occurring….I just hope that we wake up and realize what we are doing before it is too late and the damage is done……..

      1. Well,lets go back back to the first world war……and then the rise of Hitler…my Uncle Bill (90 years of age) always said as a result of stringent reparations we the west caused the rise of Nazism….
        I always think it is wise to listen to the minority……they grow you see…..as indeed they are in Europe.

  3. Tempting as it is, I shan’t interrupt the conversation, other than to point out the simple fact we humans are now little more than too many rats stuck in the same cage….

    Exact parallel….Our simple problem is, there’s nobody outside the cage to take off the lock….
