Trump calls Obama the 'founder of ISIS'

During the rally in Sunrise, Florida on Wednesday, U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told supporters that President Barack Obama is "the founder of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)." Mr. Trump went on, saying that "ISIS is honoring President Obama. He is the founder of ISIS." Hi repeated his accusation twice.

Until now, Mr. Trump repeatedly accused Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who served as secretary of state under the Obama Administration, saying that her Middle East and anti-terrorism policies failed by calling Ms. Clinton "the founder of ISIS." Such an accusation targeted to President Obama, however, has been known to be made for the first time.

In response to Mr. Trump's claim that "the co-founder (of ISIS) would be crooked Hillary Clinton," the crowd in Florida chanted "lock her up." He also mentioned President Obama's middle name "Hussein," saying, "our president refuses to use the term. And Hillary won't say it either, cause she doesn't wanna offend the president."
