Trump responds to Barcelona by pushing myth of general executing Muslims with bullets dipped in pigs blood

President Donald Trump on Thursday responded to the terrorist attack in Barcelona, Spain, by once again bringing up a false story about an American general executing Muslim prisoners using bullets dipped in pigs’ blood.

“Study what General Pershing of the United States did to terrorists when caught,” Trump wrote. “There was no more Radical Islamic Terror for 35 years!”



Trump often talked about Pershing’s supposed tactics for executing Muslims during the 2016 presidential campaign. However, as a History News Network article pointed out at the time, there is no evidence that Pershing actually used any pigs’ blood on bullets used to execute anyone.
