Where do you guys live? Of course he meant what he said with the purpose to create controversy and at the same time mix Isis and Obama into the same narrative. It works exactly as he wants to. Next day, oops, 'it was sarcasm'......and the media jumps again on the same narrative...
And his campaign's rationalizing and defense of his statement, was that also part of the game? Just a great big old fun game with the public for the presidency? You know what goes wrong with this, right? Later, when he means it, no one believes him. Should he win, he will have to be ignored, which should work out since he apparently thinks he can delegate the work.
I wouldn't call it a fun game. It's more like the tail wagging the dog. Blaming Obama for Isis is not too far from what Obama did to Bush. Obama has attacked Trump viscerally too. Attempting to bring Obama and Isis together in the same story, nationally, is very clever.
It's just like a Clinton supporter to say that she needs to be president because the other candidate isn't truthful.
ISIS arose under Obama's watch. Hillary's watch too. We know Saudi Arabia and Qatar funded ISIS, and that they got a lot of their arms and fighters through NATO ally Turkey. We know they sold oil through Turkey. Obama did little or nothing to stop any of this. Note that stopping it did not require US troops. Only someone with the balls to stand up to three muslim thugs leading these countries. That would not be Obama, President Bow to the King. Obama was fixated on removing Assad from Syria, another long time goal of Saudi Arabia and Qatar. He had no plans for who would follow Assad. The obvious outcome would have been for ISIS to take over. What got Obama hot under the collar was when Putin sent troops and advanced aircraft into Syria and showed everyone how feckless Obama had been. Obama was not all that upset when ISIS was merely committing genocide against Christians, murdering priests, cutting people's heads off for the internet. We don't know how deeply Obama was involved in the creation of ISIS. Maybe Trump has sources who do know.
Yeah, that's pretty rich. Like that NYT media columnist who whined that the media had been forced to lose their objectivity because Trump was so unacceptable. It's his fault dammit.
What reasons do your media in the US use to explain why Trump is so unacceptable? We overseas get infos that might be different
