Trump also commented on Seddique Mateen, father of the Pulse nightclub shooter, attending a Clinton rally, in case you thought that Hillary wasn’t also a terrorist sympathizer.
"Of course he likes Hillary Clinton."

"[Obama] was the founder of ISIS absolutely, the way he removed our troops. ..I call them co-founders."
Does ISIS honor Obama? Well, it’s hard to know. You can’t ask ISIS in Libya since US-backed forces there captured the last-remaining ISIS HQ on Wednesday.
Pro-government Libyan militias backed by American air power said Wednesday that they had seized the Islamic State’s last stronghold in the country, in the seaside city of Surt.
But maybe ISIS honors the president for how he’s been beating the every loving crap out of them in Syria and Iraq, thought they may be too bust worrying about the impending loss of their last territory.
