“In many respects, you know, they honour President Obama”. Serving as guest host, Berman was forced to explain to Kayleigh McEnany that, “You Know, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi is the founder of ISIS, in fact, not President Obama”. “I mean I call them co-founders”, said Trump, who claims to have opposed the Iraq war.

He has sharply criticised Obama for announcing that he would pull USA troops out of Iraq, a decision that many Obama critics say created the kind of instability in which groups such as ISIL thrive.
In addressing Obama, Trump included the president’s middle name, calling him Barack Hussein Obama – a move that’s typically been employed by those who claim Obama is secretly a Muslim.
But by blaming President Obama and Hillary Clinton for “founding” ISIS, Trump hasn’t jumped the shark. Some took those comments to mean he advocated violence against his Democratic opponent.
But Trump was critical of how his quote was reported on. The Daily Mail reports that Mrs Trump posed naked for the now defunct French magazine back in 1996 when she was 25-years-old.
Trump also found himself in an awkward camera framing immediately after criticizing the Clinton campaign for the appearance of Seddique Mir Mateen, the father of the Pulse gunman, at Clinton’s campaign event this week. Their anger, and the anger emanating from the podium, was directed at the media that seized upon the story.
“Of course he likes Hillary Clinton”.
Trump has suffered what critics insist is a long string of missteps that have marred his campaign since he officially won the nomination last month.
As he works to keep his campaign message on track, Trump in recent days has sometimes tried to clarify controversial statements by arguing he was being misinterpreted. “So when she said”.
YouTube star Lynette “Diamond” Hardaway was even more blunt.

The emergence of the pictures of Melania Trump suggests that both sides of the presidential race are digging deep for information that could hurt their rival’s chances come polling day.
“Maybe there’s more to come”, Trump said. “Co-founder. Crooked Hillary Clinton“.
The crowd at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Florida, met his remarks with cheers and chants of “Lock her up”. “That’s what I would say”, Hewitt finally offered Trump. It was a terrible mistake – one of the worst mistakes in the history of our country.
But Wednesday night, Trump turned his fire to Obama.
“I don’t like her temperament”. We need a tough guy.
“We should never have gotten out the way we got out”, he added. “And if you run, they’re going to beat you up when they catch you”.
Several groups of protesters were escorted out during the rally, and on one occasion, people in the audience threw drinks at the protesters. The Khan controversy didn’t shake her confidence in the candidate.
Trump said: “You’d be paying so little interest right now”. “His answer should have been, simply, he was sorry for their loss and left it at that”.

“It’s not what I’m looking to do – I think we’re going to have a victory but we’ll see”, Trump added. “The other side (Khan) had issues, too”, said Agami, whose son was killed while serving in the Army in Iraq in 2007.
