Trump called on over his telling a whopper.
While it was likely all but inevitable that the Donald would eventually go completely off the rails, this past weekend he finally did so.
Trump was duly called on his claim that thousands of Moslems in New Jersey celebrated the 9/11 attacks.
In this weekend’s Washington Post, it both excerpts a George Stephanopoulos interview with the Donald as well as also fact checks with all manner of credible sources and officials to unarguably demonstrate that Trump’s claims are utterly bogus.
At best, Trump’s only out was to walk back from his comments by saying that he had misremembered news video shot in – say – Gaza at the time of the 9/11 attacks – but no, the Donald dug in his heels as well as kept digging himself in deeper and so violated The First Rule of Holes.

Fact checking Trump’s claims is “Like writing about the hole in the doughnut — how can you write about nothing?” https://t.co/r9BUqGSZt9

So abjectly without basis were Trump’s claims that the Washington Post rated them with Four Pinocchios, its highest ranking for bovine byproduct flung.
Whether – or not – Trump’s campaign finally hits the rocks and then goes the way of many of right wing wingnuts TV personalities dating back to at least the similarly coiffed Wally George remains to be seen.

More importantly, will the Republican clown car-afflicted slate of Presidential candidates finally implode and the few responsible as well as truly able adults in the running finally receive the sort of serious consideration they deserve?
