At a rally Wednesday in Fort Lauderdale, Trump said that Obama “is the founder of ISIS”, using one acronym for the group.
Hillary Clinton says she brings a lot of stamina to her campaign – rebutting Donald Trump’s suggestion that she’s not up to the rigors of the presidency. “THEY DON’T GET SARCASM?”, he said on Twitter. “In 2008, when this Senator from IL became the President, and afterwards appointed Hillary as his Secretary of State, at that moment in time, ISIS didn’t exist”.
In a campaign rally Thursday, Trump called Obama and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton “the MVPs of ISIS”, reiterating claims from a day earlier when he told a crowd of supporters at a campaign stop in Florida that Obama is “the founder of ISIS”.
Trump’s accusation against Obama and Clinton went well beyond a charge made in the past by him and other Republicans: that the president and former secretary of state helped create the conditions for the rise of Islamic State by withdrawing US troops from Iraq in 2011.

Kristen Welker asked Trump spokesperson Katrina Pierson if Trump was being sarcastic about Obama founding ISIS. The state’s large Mormon population has voiced serious skepticism about Trump, though the state’s GOP governor has endorsed him.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign says the Democratic nominee and her husband paid a federal tax rate of 34.2 percent and donated 9.8 percent of their income to charity past year.
He trails Clinton in opinion polls ahead of the November 8 election.
Of the 20 women in the group, five said they were leaning Trump, seven to Clinton and eight undecided or backing a third party. Those concerns are compelling enough that dozens of anxious Republicans gathered signatures Thursday for a letter urging the GOP chairman to stop helping Trump and focus on protecting vulnerable House and Senate candidates.
