One of the things that is frustrating about his candidacy is the inprecise language.

Trump has also labeled his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, as “co-founder” or “Most Valuable Player” of the terror group, which is also known as ISIS or ISIL. When conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt suggested in an interview with Trump the next day that perhaps he meant Obama’s policies had allowed the group to flourish, Trump responded, “No, I meant he’s the founder of ISIS”. You meant that he created the vacuum, that he lost the peace.
“No, he was not saying that President Obama personally went to the Middle East and filled out the paperwork that incorporated ISIS. I gave them co-founder if you really looked at the speech”. “I do. He was the most valuable player”.
Clinton released her tax returns on Friday, painting the move as a sign of transparency that her campaign says Trump lacks.
Even while working to restore confidence in his campaign, Trump appeared to court controversy anew when he said late Thursday that he was open to trying Americans suspected of terrorism at the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba. “Regardless of party, voters are increasingly concerned that Mr Trump’s tendency to bully, demean and degrade others sends the wrong message to our children”, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta said. He was the founder. “His- the way he got out of Iraq was that that was the founding of ISIS, okay?”
And then, roughly 24 hours later, Trump mocked the media for believing him when he swears he’s telling the truth. The circle of life! The way he removed our troops.
“I just do not think insults and bullying is how we are to get things done”, Clinton said as she laid out her economic plan Thursday in Warren, Michigan. His attack on a military family, his attack on a baby, his comments on “Second Amendment people”. I don’t know. But-but I’ll tell you what. That will be a disgusting day.
He told CNN in March 2007 that the USA should declare victory and get out because Iraq was going to get further bogged down in civil strife. “You see what’s going on”. “That’s obviously not what he’s saying”, she continued. “He sometimes uses three words when he needs 10”.
They’re the ones who cling with demented certainty to the idea that President Obama was born in Kenya – a notion that Trump used as his entree into the world of partisan politics. But now he’s here and doesn’t know what to do, so he does what comes instinctively-he keeps talking.
Naturally, almost every time he opens his mouth he says something not just controversial but outright wrong.

He drew heavy criticism earlier this week after he suggested gun rights activists could take action against Clinton, a statement he later said was aimed at rallying votes against her.
