There is no evidence anywhere that actually happened. Pershing's own memoirs do not mention it. So how and why and where in the he** would the Donald John Trump come up with such a fantabulous phony fake fable when there is NO PROOF IT EVER HAPPENED?
To please y'all of course. You cheer and stomp and holler so he gets off on that and you get off on his lies.
Here's how fake and lies is used by doofus dumbheads.
Stephen Menashi, a current lifetime Federal judgeship appointee, repeated that same story as if it were true. He did. In writing.
So now you already KNOW your prez is a compulsive liar. Well so too is at least one but probably all of his dingbat dumbhead selections for a lifetime federal judgeship. Just what we need in our courts. Dingbat dumbheads who are proven liars to rule on life and death matters. Aren't you delighted to know that?
