Anti-vaxxer Donald Trump is at it again. This time, dangerously spreading false information via Twitter.
…Spread shots out over long period and watch positive result.

ABC’s Jake Tapper immediately calls him on his beyond irresponsible tweets.
FALSE AND DANGEROUS TO SAY RT @realDonaldTrump: Massive combined inoculations to small children is the cause for big increase in autism….

@jaketapper Thank you! @realDonaldTrump has gone from being ridiculous to dangerous.

He then tried tweeting him directly.
@realDonaldTrump that is false and incredibly dangerous to be telling people.

Other Twitter users quickly jump in to call out Donald Trump for his asshattery and his continued preying upon the fears of parents of children with autism.

Indeed. Never get between Donald Trump and a camera. However, in this case, his gigantic-sized ego and need for attention is harming others. Jake Tapper tries to school him with some, you know, facts.
