Trump not backing down on claim that Obama is ISIS 'founder'

[super jumbe]

Donald Trump's sarcasm, not a serious critique of U.S. Middle East policy, was apparently behind his claims over 48 hours that President Barack Obama 'founded' the ISIS terror army and should receive its 'Most Valuable Player' award.

After two days of CNN subtly jabbing him with on-screen fact checks saying he was wrong ? they read 'Trump calls Obama founder of ISIS (he's not)' ? Trump responded Friday morning on Twitter that it wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

'Ratings challenged @CNN reports so seriously that I call President Obama (and Clinton) "the founder" of ISIS, & MVP. THEY DON'T GET SARCASM?' he tweeted.
In a followup message on Twitter, he mocked the pundit class for working itself into a lather over his Middle East comments.

'I love watching these poor, pathetic people (pundits) on television working so hard and so seriously to try and figure me out. They can't!' he tweeted.
Trump made the claim about Obama and ISIS multiple times this week, beginning Wednesday night in a rally near Fort Lauderdale, Florida.



Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, an al-Qaeda operative in Iraq during the second Gulf War, went on to found ISIS from the remains of his organization long before Barack Obama became president

'Is there something wrong with saying that?' he asked. 'Why? are people complaining that I said he was the founder of ISIS? ... I'm a truth-teller. All I do is tell the truth.'

The question is where did isis came from?
Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and Tikrit prison in Iraq all prisoners we were told they escaped but they were trained and became isis, they have been fighting for over 4 years and they have highly sophisticated ammunition, food, money, shelter, etc, for thousands of fighters and they do not need donations (fishy) trump may be telling the truth after all!!!

Yes very big problem, they wanted criminals with no heart to fight for them but the idea backfired we are all in trouble now for years to come.

year on year now new laws will be added and this will change the world has we know it .. we will see police in the uk with guns jail without charging in the name of terror and so on all over the world , this is going to take many many years to sort out now if ever

Trump is really a democrat plant (certainly has vegetable matter between his ears) doing Hillary a big favour by trashing any chance the republicans have of winning. *shrug*

As for Isis, it's a proxy war being played between Iran and Saudi, with a mix thrown in between Russia and the 'west' poking their noses in. The west never does it's homework and generally backs the side which will pay them the most using any lame excuse they can. Russia, as has been proved, will always back the other side.
