Donald Trump has an attack "dog " who frequently appears on TV by the name of Katrina Pierson. Like her hero, Katrina plays fast and loose with the truth.
For example Katrina Pierson said, "It was under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton that changed the ‘rules of engagement,’ that probably cost his [Khan’s] life.*
Now Capt. Humayun Khan died in 2004. Of course, President Obama didn't become President until 2008. Heck, he wasn't even elected to become a U.S. Senator until 2004. He was in the Illinois Senate in 2004 until late in the year when he was elected to the U.S. Senate and didn't take office until 2005.
I've personally known a number of people like Katrina Pierson, and you can't say anything so bad about Obama that these people won't believe it and pass it on. An example is where Obama is born. When Obama finally presented the original of his birth certificate in Hawaii, these people said it was a forgery. There is absolutely no way that you can get these people to believe that Obama is American born. many of these same people, however, were ready to accept Ted Cruz as American born because his mother is an American citizen, but then so was Obama's.
The HuffPost/YouGov Pol in January of 2016 finds "that 53 percent of Republicans still doubt Obama’s citizenship. At
the same time, an overwhelming 70 percent don’t have any doubt Cruz is
American and eligible to be president."** It takes a little schizophrenia to do this, but Trump followers do such things all the time.
Well, Obama did make the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National convention and is famous for saying the phrase, "Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a
conservative America — there is the United States of America. There is
not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian
America — there's the United States of America."
