Any time someone tells you that Trump tells it like it is, sent them to Politifact (http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/). Of the Trump Statements they have looked at, only 7% are better than mostly true.

True (1%)
Mostly True (6%)
Half True (16%)
Mostly False (19%)
False (39%)
Pants on Fire (20%)

59% are in the worst two categories that's an astounding percentage.

In this case, he is just passing along a fake story some one else made, but he's also a fan of Alex Jones and other conspiracy shit.
