Donald Trump: I meant that Obama founded ISIS, literally

State Republican Party Executive Director J.R. Romano told The Courant Wednesday that the campaign was seeking a venue for a rally.

The last time CT went for a Republican presidential candidate was in 1988, when George H.W. Bush, a former state resident, captured it. And even just speaking metaphorically, it is not President Obama, but the previous administration’s terrible post-war planning that allowed for the proliferation of insurgent groups that became ISIS.

“I hope the Republicans are watching closely”, he said.

Southwest Connecticut, home to affluent suburbs of New York City, is prime fundraising territory. Trump told CNBC. “Why – are people complaining that I said he was the founder of ISIS?” I give him the most valuable player award.

But then the Republican candidate said it was about Obama’s policies, saying “that’s why ISIS came about”.

HH: Well, that, you know, I have a saying, Donald Trump, the pneumonic device I use is Every Liberal Really Seems So, So Sad.

Clinton meanwhile turned toward the economy, telling supporters in MI she will defend United States interests against China and reject the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement if she is president.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine says voting is a “sacred act”.

“It’s reminiscent of demagogues who want to be in the press no matter what they have to say”. But he stressed how important it is.

In 2000, after the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the Florida recount must cease, Al Gore graciously conceded to George W. Bush.

“Donald Trump should apologize”. The latest WTF moment from Trump? And he remembered Fred Trump’s forays into homebuilding. Not ever. You will recall that this was supposed to be the week when Trump turned to the economy.

Sen. Susan Collins of ME, one of the most senior Republicans to oppose Trump, said her decision came down to Trump making the world a “more dangerous” place, in her estimation. On Tuesday, he suggested that fervent defenders of the right to keep and bear arms could take things into their own hands if Hillary Clinton were elected.

“This is another example of Donald Trump trash-talking the United States”, Jake Sullivan, senior policy adviser to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, said in a statement. The source spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday to discuss the plans in advance.

Last week at another Florida event, Trump called Clinton the “founder of ISIS”.

The climber wanted a face-to-face meeting with Trump, as explained in an anonymous YouTube video, Morris said. Combined with releases during her previous campaigns and her husband’s time in office, the Clintons have made their tax returns public since 1977. “Take a look at what’s going on, and then worldwide, and we let ISIS take this position”, he said.

The White House declined to comment on Trumps accusation.

“If they gave a trophy for most valuable player, the victor of the trophy for ISIS would probably have to be Hillary Clinton”, he said.

He said interest rates are low now and will eventually go up, making it too expensive to borrow. “This is the time to borrow”.

On Thursday morning, Trump repeated his claim that Barack Obama is both the “founder of ISIS” and the terrorist organization’s “Most Valuable Player” (although Obama shares that prestigious award with HillaryClinton).

Now, Trump is arguing that in trying to end the war and withdrawing US troops in 2011, Clinton, who was secretary of state at the time, and Obama created Islamic State.

Trump hit back, arguing in Miami Beach that Clinton will raise taxes dramatically.

That’s her goal in a speech scheduled for Thursday afternoon at a manufacturing company in Warren, Michigan. It’s emotion. Trump strikes a chord with Republicans who can not bring themselves to admit they were beaten fair and square by Barack Obama, not once but twice.

Some Republicans see a small silver lining in Trump talking more about Clinton.
