We’ve been paying the price of it for years.

Welker brought up Trump telling Hugh Hewitt that he was being literal.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has raised eyebrows the last couple of days with his repeated assertions that President Obama founded the Islamic State. And I give it to him, and I give it to, I gave the co-founder to Hillary. “I think they’re liking it”. But he and Hillary get the most valuable player award having to do with Iraq. Seemingly confused that he would be questioned about the appropriateness of the comments, the NY businessman later asked: “Is there something wrong with saying that? Why?”

“What we did in IN is exactly the kind of leadership that Donald Trump’s going to bring to the White House and I can’t wait to continue to carry that message through election day this year”, Pence said. “I do”, Trump told Hewitt, according to the show’s transcript. “All I do is tell the truth”. “I have been wrong so many times”.

Hillary and Obama helped arm ISIS and throw Syria into disarray and also facilitated in creating the immigrant crisis in Europe right now. I know what you meant.

In the interview with Hewitt, Trump did acknowledge the root of his argument was that if Obama “had done things properly, you wouldn’t have had ISIS”. Just saying, as Hewitt does, that Trump means something else, is insulting to the public and potential risky in practice. He was the most valuable player. In fact, he gets in sports they have awards he gets the most valuable player award.

In a Thursday speech to homeowners, Trump called Clinton “the MVP” of ISIS and “her only competition is Barack Obama”.

“But he’s not sympathetic to them”, the host argued.

DT: I don’t care. He was the founder.

Republicans frequently trace the birth of ISIS to the Obama administration’s decision to withdraw the last U.S. forces from Iraq by the end of 2011.

Trump criticized that Obama has refused using the term “radical Islamic terrorism” to refer to the attacks in Orlando, Florida and San Bernardino, California. Instead, he said it as a way to make the president and the Democratic nominee look bad.
