Republican candidate Donald Trump has dropped another bombshell on the U.S. presidential race, with the jaw-dropping assertion that President Barack Obama and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton “founded” the DAESH terrorist organisation. “And the something else in mind – you know, people can’t believe it. People cannot, they cannot believe that President Obama is acting the way he acts and can’t even mention the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism.’ There’s something going on”.

Trump had first claimed Obama was “the founder of Isis” on Wednesday night at a rally in Sunrise, Florida. “His – the way he got out of Iraq was that – that was the founding of ISIS, OK?” “He’s the founder. He founded ISIS”.
Obama was not the literal founder of ISIS. And that’s what it’s about!’ Daily Mail said.
After lamenting the “mistake” the U.S. made by going to war in Iraq – a conflict he repeatedly says that he opposed, despite evidence to the contrary – Trump then criticized Obama’s attempts to “clean up”.
Clinton’s campaign accused Trump of “trash-talking” the US while failing to present any serious counter-terrorism plans of his own.
“In many respects, you know, they honour President Obama”, he said.
The sensational comments are the latest in such a string that has run throughout Trump’s campaign.
Foley was prominent showing up in video of the rally broadcast nationally on several cable news stations where Trump repeatedly accused the American president of being the “founder of ISIS” despite the absurdity of his claim. “ISIS will hand [Clinton] the most valuable player award, her only competition is Barack Obama”.

In fact, Obama is a Christian who was born in the US. And I give it to him, and I gave the co-founder to Hillary.
He repeated it in an interview Thursday morning with CNBC.
“If they gave a trophy for most valuable player, the victor of the trophy for ISIS would probably have to be Hillary Clinton”, he said. Trump frequently says, in drawing contrast with Clinton, that he opposed the war – but in interviews before the invasion he did voice support. “I do. He was the most valuable player”.
The GOP presidential nominee also addressed criticism that he had made a mistake when it came to comments about the Muslim parents of a fallen American soldier, saying “it’s been put to bed for a long time”.
Hewitt pointed out that Obama has waged an effort against the Islamic State: “He’s not sympathetic to them. I do”, Trump responded.
Recent opinion polls have shown Trump losing ground to Mrs Clinton, a former United States senator and first lady, in the race for the November 8 election. “Everyone’s liking it. I think they’re liking it”, he said. Declare victory and leave, because I’ll tell you, this country is just going to get further bogged down.

Meanwhile, Clinton on Wednesday sternly warned her Republican presidential rival Donald Trump about his “casual inciting” of violence, saying his startling remarks suggesting gun rights supporters could act against her “crossed the line”. “You meant that he created the vacuum, he lost the peace”, Hewitt said.
