Of course he did this.
But he did it so soon after blathering on and on about how he didn't respond for to Charlottesville for a long time because he wanted to get all the facts...unlike some other people he could name.
No dignity at all. Is it a sociopathic trait to be unable to be embarrassed when you make an ass an a liar out of yourself over and over and over again?
Just when you think he can't possibly make himself look more foolish.

Following the deadly terror attack in Barcelona today, President Donald Trump tweeted out condolences to the victims and stated that the United States condemned the attacks. He also took the opportunity to spread an unfounded claim about a World War I-era general dipping bullets in pigs’ blood before mass murdering Islamic terrorists to stop terror in the region.
This claim is something Trump used on the campaign trail, telling rallygoers that General Pershing lined up 50 terrorists, shot 49 of them with the pigs blood dipped bullets, and stopped terrorism for decades. During today’s broadcast of CNN’s The Lead, anchor Jake Tapper took the president to task for repeating this claim.
After playing a clip of Trump telling his tale, Tapper noted that there is “zero evidence” to support it before criticizing the president for pushing it out there again in the wake of a terror event.
“So, just to be clear, what happened today in the face of a horrific terrorist attack while people are still finding out that loved ones have been killed or injured,” Tapper said. “President Trump just told the world to study a story that is not true. A lie.”
