Trump accuses Obama of being the ‘founder of ISIS’
Clinton campaign adviser Jake Sullivan on Thursday accused Trump of “echoing the talks of (Russian President Vladimir) Putin”.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump waves after speaking to the National Association of Home Builders, Thursday, Aug. 11, 2016, in Miami Beach, Fla.
Much as Pence did with Foley, Clinton’s campaign disavowed Seddique Mateen’s support of her candidacy after that incident.
Donald Trump attacked President Barack Obama and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton by describing them as the co-founders of the terrorist organization ISIS in a speech to the National Association of Home Builders in Miami, Florida on August 11.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump went “far too far” in statements claiming President Barack Obama founded ISIS, U.S. Sen. They make their verbal poo poo any place to get attention.
“In fact, in many respects, you know they honor president Obama”.
Trump repeated the accusation three more times during his speech. Trump asked incredulously the next morning, facing his second straight day of national controversy after publicly swearing off any presidential pivot.
That rationale was rejected, however, by Trump himself in an interview Thursday morning with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.
For the last two days, Trump had been insisting Obama was a founder of ISIS.
“When you get those seats you sort of know the campaign”, Trump said at the rally.
After trouncing 16 challengers in the Republican primary, Trump is encountering worrying signs as his campaign moves into the general election.
IS was founded in 2013, months after Clinton left the State Department.
But this isn’t the first time Pence has been caught between Trump and a controversial statement.
“I would say they could be tried there”, Trump said.
Wednesday’s lawsuit – first reported by WBTV in Charlotte – says Bordini and Phillip were traveling by vehicle in SC when the campaign director suddenly pulled out a gun and pressed the barrel to his kneecap.
Trump blamed the president for his decision to withdraw troops, which some argue created a power vacuum in which extremist groups like ISIS thrive.
Trump also referred to the president by his full name – Barack Hussein Obama – which is often used as a dog whistle by Obama’s fringe critics who believe the president is Muslim or is secretly sympathetic to Islamic terrorists.
ISIS is an evolution of al-Qaeda in Iraq, which formed in the aftermath of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 under its leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
Since the US -led coalition began its anti-Islamic State campaign in 2014, the coalition has cut the numbers of IS core fighters by half, to about 15,000, and cost the group 45 percent of its territory, which once comprised one-third of Iraq and Syria.
Trump said he wasn’t anxious Republicans would cut him off – and threatened to stop fundraising for the party if they do.
Earlier in the same interview, Pence disavowed former Congressman Mark Foley, who attended a Trump rally this week. The officials weren’t authorized to comment publicly and requested anonymity.
