Here's the actual quote: "Study what General Pershing of the United States did to terrorists when caught. There was no more Radical Islamic Terror for 35 years!"
Nothing in there about bullets.
I didn’t think he said anything about bullets - the media said that’s what he was eluding to - did he set them up for another can of whipass?
You are correct. CNN and others are conflating the tweet with comments during a pre-election campaign rally.
Sort of an insignificant part of the point. The salient point here is that pigs were used as a weapon against Islamic terrorists.
Details may be wrong, but the main thrust of the point is exactly correct.
Yep, Trump simply said study Pershing. He didn’t go into details this time, but that’s not the way the corrupt and biased media reported it.
Sorry. I thought he had mentioned that. I’ll have to re-read the quote.
I’m getting it from here (it’s a february of 2016 quote):

“He took fifty bullets, and he dipped them in pig’s blood,” Trump said at a rally in South Carolina in February 2016. “And he had his men load his rifles and he lined up the fifty people, and they shot 49 of those people. And the fiftieth person he said ‘You go back to your people and you tell them what happened.’ And for 25 years there wasn’t a problem, okay?”
