Dangerous Donald's Conspiracy Theories: "All I know is what is on the internet."

This morning on Fox and Friends, Donald Trump accused<file:///\\mydocs\documents1$\freundlichc\Dhttp:\www.politico.com\blogs\2016-gop-primary-live-updates-and-results\2016\05\trump-ted-cruz-father-222730%3flo=ap_a1ocuments\Cruz%20Resume%20DRAFT.docx> Ted Cruz's father of helping with JFK's assassination - "parroting a National Enquirer story claiming that Rafael Cruz was pictured with Lee Harvey Oswald handing out pro-Fidel Castro pamphlets in New Orleans in 1963."

So here are some of the other conspiracy theories and facts that the great mind of Donald Trump is gathering from the tabloids and the internet:

*         Donald Trump speculates that Antonin Scalia was murdered<http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/01/us/politics/donald-trump-conspiracy-theories.html?_r=0>.

*         Trump not knowing<http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/gop-primaries/247473-trump-i-dont-know-if-obama-was-born-in-us> if President Obama was born in America, and then sending investigators<http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donald-trumps-history-raising-birther-questions-president-obama/story?id=33861832> to Hawaii to look into it - still cited as one of the greatest<http://www.theweek.co.uk/conspiracy-theories/62926/the-top-ten-conspiracy-theories-in-the-world> conspiracy theories of all time.

*         Trump thinks<https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/449525268529815552> that vaccination causes autism.

*         Trump claims<http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/nov/22/donald-trump/fact-checking-trumps-claim-thousands-new-jersey-ch/> that thousands of American Muslims cheered when the World Trade Center collapsed.

*         Trump thinks<https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/265895292191248385> that the "concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive."

*         Trump repeatedly telling<http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/feb/23/donald-trump/donald-trump-cites-dubious-legend-about-gen-pershi/> a hoax story about an American general executing Muslim prisoners with bullets covered in pig's blood.

*         After it being told it wasn't true, Trump doubling-down<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-protester-isis-hoax_us_56e57d2be4b0860f99d951ab> on his claim that a man who tried to rush on stage at one of his rallies was associated with ISIS - because "all I know is what is on the internet."

So here are some other "facts" that Dangerous Donald has probably considered from reading the internet and National Enquirer. We are still waiting for him to weigh in on them:

*         Agenda 21<http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/04/13/agenda-21-the-un-conspiracy-that-just-won-t-die.html>, a theory embraced by Iowa Senator Joni Ernst<http://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/why-chemtrail-conspiracy-real>, that will be "the most dangerous threat to American sovereignty," will bring "new Dark Ages of pain and misery yet unknown to mankind," and "abolish golf courses, grazing pastures and paved roads."

*         The Beatles never existed<http://thebeatlesneverexisted.com/>.

*         Britney Spears was a staffer<http://popdust.com/2015/09/17/britney-spears-george-bush-payroll/#slide1> in the George W. Bush White House.

*         The Earth is still flat<http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/cms/>.
