The tweet caused a surge of “sarcasm” searches, no doubt from people who heard him repeatedly double-down on his statement in an interview with Hugh Hewitt. “I know what you meant”, he suggested. “He was the most valuable player”.

“I call him a founder”. Not ever. You will recall that this was supposed to be the week when Trump turned to the economy.
Trump acknowledged August 5 he was wrong in claiming to have seen secret Iranian footage of $400 million in cash being delivered to Tehran as payment for the release of U.S. prisoners.
Trump cable TV surrogates are going to love defending this tweet.
Trump has blamed the USA news media for taking many of his comments out of context, and on Thursday night some of his supporters heckled and cursed reporters who covered the rally in a large arena in Kissimmee, Florida. “He’s the founder! He founded ISIS”.
“But when Trump claims that America is the founder of ISIS, that’s something that ISIS uses against us, that’s something that ISIS uses to recruit fighters, recruit terrorists, to attack American troops”, Moulton continued. The most recent example, before his purportedly sarcastic remarks about Clinton and Obama being the co-founders of ISIS, was when he said he was “just kidding” about not minding a crying baby at a campaign event. “What happens when he presses the nuclear button and then the next day says, “Oh, I’m sorry, I was just being sarcastic”?” Sullivan said Trump is “echoing the talking points” of Russian President Vladimir Putin and other USA adversaries.

She also contended the 2003 invasion of Iraq “has done more to inflame the terrorists than any action you can name”.
But what we can conclude from Trump’s never-ending stream of untruths, exaggerations, and lies is that this is a man who cannot be trusted.
But the liberal watchdog group Media Matters contends the interview is part of a troubling pattern in which conservative hosts are serving as self-appointed “coaches” for Trump and his campaign.
“Take a look at Orlando”. Look, ISIS could have been knocked out, it could have been knocked out pretty swiftly.
Hillary Clinton on Friday released her 2015 tax returns, which showed the Democratic presidential nominee and her husband had $10.75 million in income that year and paid an effective federal tax rate of 34.2 percent. That’s what it was.
After Trump made a speech in which he suggested Second Amendment supporters could block Hillary Clinton from appointing a justice favoring gun control, he and Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity – also a Trump supporter – addressed criticism that he was suggesting violence against the Democratic candidate.

Trump supporter Newt Gingrich on Friday said that the GOP nominee has failed to understand the importance of being precise.
