Trending on Twitter: Did Trump Kill His Assistant, Carolyn Gombell, in 2000?

Did Trump kill his assistant in 2000? The hashtag #JusticeforCarolyn has been trending on Twitter since “God” said he did in this tweet:

Donald Trump killed his personal assistant, Carolyn Gombell, in October 2000. He strangled her because he’d gotten her pregnant and was threatening to tell the press. Then he bribed NYPD Police Chief Bernie [Kerik] to cover it up. IT’S TIME TO INVESTIGATE. #JusticeForCarolyn.

And later:

Don’t let Trump get away with it.
Don’t let Barr help him cover it up.
Don’t let his press secretary equivocate about it.
And don’t let the media gloss over it because “it was so long ago” or “he was officially cleared”.
Demand, demand, DEMAND #JusticeForCarolyn.

As Andrea Junker put it: “Many people say Trump strangled his personal assistant #CarolynGombell in October 2000 because he’d gotten her pregnant and she was threatening to tell the press, and then he bribed NYPD Police Chief Bernie Kierik to cover that murder up.”

Obviously, this story is not true. But as the Palmer Report put it, “I don’t care that Donald Trump didn’t really murder Carolyn Gombell. I don’t care that Carolyn Gombell doesn’t even exist. I’m still demanding #JusticeForCarolyn because why the hell not? If Trump can demand investigations into imaginary murders, the rest of us can too!”

“Trump’s head slowly dropped, his eyes closed. It jerked back upward. He adjusts himself. Then, his head droops again. He straightens up, leaning back. His head droops for a third time, he shakes his shoulders. Eyes closed still. His head drops. Finally, he pops his eyes open.”

“He’s f**king crazy! The press often will ask me if I think Donald Trump is crazy. And I’ll say it this way: I don’t think he’s so crazy that you could put him in a mental institution. But I think if he were in one, he ain’t getting out!”

— New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R), quoted by the Associated Press two years ago. Sununu is now backing Trump for president.
