Donald Trump as video recruiter for ISIS? Not so implausible, apparently



As quoted in No evidence for Hillary Clinton's claim that ISIS is using videos of Donald Trump as recruiting tool.  (Politifact, 12/19/2015)

That was then, this is now.
Al-Shabaab recruit video with Trump excerpt: U.S. is racist, anti-Muslim.  (CNN, 1/2/2015)
The video has yet to be verified as authentic.  An al Qaeda affiliate has apparently released a new recruitment video, telling Muslims in America that the country has a long history of racism and discrimination and will turn on its Muslim community.  
 The video purportedly by Somali terrorist group al-Shabaab uses historic civil rights era footage of firebrand Malcolm X and audio of 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump to label the United States a racist society.

But it is, of course, a real possibility.
