As he tried to distract from his flailing campaign, Donald Trump held a rally tonight in Fairfield, Connecticut, where he may have won the playground gold medal for “biggest bully.”
Trump openly admitted that “he might lie to you” and then followed through, quintupling down on his claim that Obama was the founder of ISIS. He repeatedly went after the media, going so far as to say he was running against them instead of Hillary Clinton. He even made fun of Governor Malloy’s name. All while supporters streamed out of the rally due to heat. What a hot mess.
HE ADMITS IT, HE “MIGHT LIE TO YOU”
TRUMP: “It’s the opinion of myself and a lot of people that [Obama] was the founder of ISIS.” [Donald Trump, Fairfield Rally, 8/13/16] [see Washington Post, 8/11/16]
