Donald Trump: After verbal missteps, nominee blames others

Trump can point to examples in many places where Americans have been killed and blame the foreign policy of the Obama administration, West said.

After labelling Barack Obama the legitimate founder of ISIS – and slandering campaign opponent Hillary Clinton as its co-founder – Trump has lashed out on Twitter, blaming the media for apparently not getting his next-level “sarcasm”.

The White House declined to comment on Trump’s claim.

For the past two days, Trump has been receiving nationwide flake after his remarks that Obama and Democratic presidential nominee Clinton, who served as Secretary of State in the first term of the Obama Administration, were founders of the ISIS.

“No, I meant hes the founder of ISIS. “I do”, Trump said, using another acronym for the extremist group.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump arrives for a campaign rally, Thursday, Aug. 11, 2016, in Kissimmee, Fla. Some Republicans seem to have the same concern. “THEY DON’T GET SARCASM?” he tweeted. Apparently other people didn’t understand what sarcasm was either (that or a bunch of Trump supporters looked up the definition of “sarcasm” and sent it to CNN) because “sarcasm” and “sarcastic” became top-searched words on Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary Friday.

Clinton is looking to take advantage by expanding into traditionally Republican states, seeking a sweeping victory in November.

Also on Friday, Trump said he enjoys watching members of the media – whom he calls dishonest and incompetent daily – try to “figure him out”. She’s hammered him for avoiding accountability for his actions.

After trouncing 16 challengers in the Republican primary, Trump is encountering worrying signs as his campaign moves into the general election.

“But really bad judgement as said by Bernie Sanders, bad judgment is Hillary Clinton”.

USA presidential candidates are not required to release their tax returns, but it has become a common custom.

Minutes after releasing her returns, Clinton tweeted that it’s possible Trump paid no tax at all.

Trump scheduled a speech in Warren, Ohio, on Monday that will focus on how he would handle the threat posed by Islamic State. Trump replied, “I don’t care”.

It’s no surprise that the media are Trump’s go-to scapegoat.

On Monday, 50 prominent Republican national security officials, including a former Central Intelligence Agency director, called Trump unqualified to lead the country and said he would be “the most reckless president in American history”.

It was the same tactic he used to try to quell criticism after he invited Russian Federation in late July to dig up tens of thousands of “missing” emails from Clinton’s time as USA secretary of state.

His initial comments were seen as accusing Mr Obama of creating conditions that allowed IS to thrive but, asked about that on Thursday, he seemed to go further, telling conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt: “No, I meant that he’s the founder of Isis, I do”. He insisted he’d said nothing incorrect.

Yet even as he worked to quell one campaign controversy, Trump appeared to spark another late Wednesday when said he was “fine” with trying Americans suspected of terrorism in military tribunals at the Guantanamo Bay detention center. He took offence that his comments were interpreted as praise for Saddam.
