“These are the founders of ISIS because of bad judgment”.
I guess that’s one more thing, like the Iraq war, when he was for it before he was against it. “I do. He was the most valuable player”.
Trump’s campaign instead said that he meant the power of “Second Amendment people” to unify. “They are the founders”, Trump said at a National Association of Home Builders event in Miami Thursday morning.
Calls for violence, especially against protesters at his rallies, have been a staple of Trump’s campaign appearances.
Julian Zelizer, a presidential historian at Princeton University, said that claiming the sitting president is the founder of a terrorist organization “crosses a line” in campaign rhetoric.

“Take a look at Orlando. Take a look at what’s going on, and then worldwide, and we let ISIS take this position”, he said. “And I would say the co-founder would be crooked Hillary Clinton”. “Her weakness. Her weak policies”.
The first is that Trump agrees with Hewitt substantively, that his argument is the same as Hewitt’s, and that his only disagreement with Hewitt is over whether he should call Obama the “founder”.
A Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Marist poll released on Friday suggested support for Trump is eroding among voters in three battleground states.

“Obviously I was being sarcastic and a lot of people really smiled and laughed”. That rallying cry was popularized at the Republican convention in Cleveland in July. In an email to supporters asking them to donate, Trump accused the “liberal media” of telling “outrageous lies about me”.
