NAMBLA Becomes Donald Trump’s Birther Moment

Did Donald Trump donate money to the North American Man-Boy Love Association? A bot certainly wants you to think so.

Donald Trump absolutely, unequivocally did not donate money to the North American Man-Boy Love Association.

But that’s not what “some people” are saying.

“Speaking of tax returns, did you hear Donald Trump is refusing to release them because Donald Trump has donated to NAMBLA? That’s what all the best sources, the most tremendous sources are saying,” said EnoughTrumpSpam’s AutoModerator.

AutoModerator is, of course, a robot that’s been fed code to spit out this exact, completely baseless and fact-free conspiracy theory about Donald Trump every single time somebody brings up taxes. It started on Reddit, but in just a couple of days, the conspiracy theory has flooded Twitter and other corners of the web. “Trump and NAMBLA” saw a spike on Google Trends this week.

....

People are talking about it. Some great minds are writing about Trump's connection to NAMBLA. Is it true? I don't know. But you know what they say, where there's smoke there's fire. And there's a lot of smoke.

I will match his contributions to NAMBLA with contributions to a veterans charity.

Speaking of tax returns, did you hear Donald Trump is refusing to release them because Donald Trump has donated to NAMBLA? That's what all the best sources, the most tremendous sources are saying, and if they're all saying that Donald Trump donated to NAMBLA, well, I can see why Donald Trump would want to cover up his donations to NAMBLA. I'm not claiming that Donald Trump donates to NAMBLA, but that's what these excellent sources are alleging, that Donald Trump does indeed donate to NAMBLA.

Trump and Donations don't go together unless it a donation to the Trump Betterment Society!

I can't stand Trump for many other reasons, but I don't even really suspect that he ever did anything truly inappropriate with his daughter either.

Which means I'm skeptical about this accusation. OTOH, this guy could be an even bigger pervert than we thought.
