This interview between Chuck Todd and Trump is disturbing:
"""CHUCK TODD: Okay. I want to ask you about the moment yesterday in Dayton. Looked like a scary moment, being rushed the stage. I want to ask you. You said it was--you praised the Secret Service, but then you said the man had ties to ISIS, that turned out to be a hoax. Did you go over the top there on that? Where did you get that--
DONALD TRUMP: No, no, no, no. He was, if you look on the Internet, if you look at clips--
CHUCK TODD: Well, it turned out to be a hoax.
DONALD TRUMP: --He was waving an American flag.
CHUCK TODD: Well, it turned out to be a hoax. Somebody made that up, sir.
DONALD TRUMP: Excuse me. He had talk. Well, I don't know what they made up. All I can do is play what's there. He was walking, dragging the American flag on the ground. Is that a correct statement? Was that a hoax too? Was he dragging the flag on the ground?
CHUCK TODD: Well, that I don't--
DONALD TRUMP: And just dragging it along?
CHUCK TODD: I'm talking about the ISIS tweet.
DONALD TRUMP: Well, you didn't see the clip.
CHUCK TODD: We're playing the clip right now.
DONALD TRUMP: No, excuse me, you didn't see the clip. He was playing Arabic music, he was dragging the flag along the ground, and he had Internet chatter with ISIS and about ISIS. So I don't know if he was or not. But all we did was put out what he had on his Internet. He's dragging the flag, the American flag, which I respect obviously more than you. He was dragging the American flag on the ground like it was a piece of garbage, okay? I don't like that. And a lot of people don't like that. And he also had chatter about ISIS, or with ISIS. And you take a look at it. I mean, people are looking at it very seriously now. But you have to check it before you ask the question.
CHUCK TODD: Well, I--no, we have checked it. That's my point, sir. There's no ties to ISIS for this man. No law enforcement official. And this video that you linked to appear to be a hoax.
DONALD TRUMP: Okay, look, well, was it a hoax that he's dragging the flag? Was that him? It looked like the same man to me. He was dragging a flag along the ground and he was playing a certain type of music. And supposedly, there was chatter about ISIS. Now, I don't know.
What do I know about it? All I know is what's on the Internet.""'
This is the guy who could be the next POTUS!
"""
What do I know about it? All I know is what's on the Internet."""
So the Donald just assumes what he sees on the internet is true, and slanders this guy in speeches and on Twitter. And even when confronted by the truth, he doubles down and still refuses to acknowledge his error.
And people want to give this guy the nuke codes???
There's a video of the exchange at the bottom of the article.
