Donald Trump Kicks Massive Own Goal, Features In Terrorism Recruiting Vid

Human pustule Donald J. Trump has found his infamous quote on “shutting down” Muslim emigration to the United States sandwiched between a radical cleric’s quotes in a new video for Somali outfit Al-Shabaab. 

The soundbite is pretty cleverly nestled in with quotes from the now-dead Anwar al-Awlaki, who was recorded saying that the Western world was on the cusp of becoming a very, very shit place for those of the Islamic faith. They posted the whole thing to Twitter too, but it’s been taken down. Obviously.

Obviously, it was never his intention to gee up rocks-for-brains radicals. Obviously, it’d be a shit thing for anyone to have their words misconstrued and used to fuel hatred, and we’re not about to agree with actual terrorist propaganda. Still, having a frontrunner for the U.S Presidential election as catalystic fodder for a recruiting campaign serves as a reasonable barometer of the national mood. 

But wait, there’s more: Trump’s unwitting inclusion in the video serves as partial vindication for arch-rival Hillary Clinton’s comments that he was becoming ISIS’ best recruiter. Until now, his only comeback to those accusations has been bluster and deflection, but when you’re literally being used to inspire terrorists, well…

TAKE HIM AWAY, BALD EAGLE. FEED HIM TO YOUR YOUNG. LET US BE FREED OF THIS CURSE.
