++With Trump raising the Vin Foster suicide again--"It's fishy"--Gerson's column yesterday in the Washington Post "The Trump Train Is Fueled by Conspiracy" is timely.
++His column leads with a review of a film on the Ebola virus and out response to it. As he writes, Republicans and conservatives stood out and not in a good way. Leading the charge was Trump who said ,"Ebola is much easier to transmit than the CDC and government representatives admit." But The health officials were not lying and Trump encouraraged "a distrust of institutions that borders on conspiracy."
++Trump also said that vaccines lead to Autism and undermined the consensus on vaccinations that builds up "herd immunity" and saves lives of children.
++Who else is plotting against us? Well,the Mexicans " send the bad ones over because they don't want to pay for them."
++Blacks account for 81% of homicides, a white supremacist tweet that Trump supports.
++The United States government was behind 9-11 and Trump will find out who really kicked down the World Trade Center.
++He questioned how Antony Scalia died with a pillow over his head. Gerson practically loses it--"Does he think liberal ordered a hit on Scalia?"
++Gerson reminds us that Trump emerged in conservative circles by questioning Barck Obama's citizenship and the legality of his presidency. He said he had "excellent people" looking into this. What did they find?--Nothing but Trump doubled down on his contention.
++When asked to repudiate the vicious anti-semiticism of some of his supporters, he said, "He didn't want to offend his fans."
++Gerson warns: "Every Republican official endorsing Trump should know this is the company he keeps. This is the company you now keep."
