Troll Campaign Links Trump To NAMBLA

Death And Taxes reports:

It seems everywhere on the internet, lots of people are talking about whether Donald Trump donated money to the North American Man-Boy Love Association and is refusing to release his tax returns out of fear he’ll be outed as a closeted pedophile. It’s all over Twitter.

Google Trends registered a sharp spike in people searching for the term “Trump and NAMBLA” over the weekend, after questions about the candidate’s refusal to release were raised in a discussion on Reddit.

Does that sound familiar? Not the accusation itself, but the way it was worded? It sounds an awful lot like how Trump himself responded to accusations last September that President Obama was a Muslim and “not a real American.”

“You know, a lot of people are saying that, and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening out there,” Trump said. “We’re going to look at that and plenty of other things.”

Or after the Orlando shooting, when Trump suggested the President may be condoning terrorism. Or when he spoke about whether U.S. negotiators has the country’s best interests in mind while working on the Iran nuclear deal.

According to the Daily Beast, a Twitter bot will respond to any mention of Trump’s taxes with the claim about NAMBLA. Hit the link for more about the trolling and the guy behind it. (Tipped by JMG reader Bill)
