and Says It Honors Him
Reading that headline made me want to slap his face, and in my entire adult life, I've never hit anyone.
Here's the story:
SUNRISE, Fla. A day after remarks that appeared to suggest that gun rights advocates harm Hillary Clinton, Donald J. Trump sprayed his fire at President Obama on Wednesday, accusing him of creating the Islamic State and saying the terrorist group honors him.
In many respects, you know, they honor President Obama, Mr. Trump told a raucous and rowdy crowd in Florida on Wednesday night. Hes the founder of ISIS. Hes the founder of ISIS. Hes the founder. He founded ISIS. He added, I would say the co-founder would be crooked Hillary Clinton. During an extended riff on the crisis in Crimea, Mr. Trump added extra emphasis on the presidents full name, saying that it occurred during the administration of Barack Hussein Obama.
Mr. Trumps statement was an escalation in his recent criticism of the Obama administrations handling of the terror threat, as he had previously accused only Mrs. Clinton of having a founding role in the terror group. His suggestion that the president was honored by ISIS recalled an earlier controversy when Mr. Trump seemingly implied that the president had some connection to the terrorist massacre of 49 people at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando.
He doesnt get it, or he gets it better than anybody understands, Mr. Trump told Fox News in June. And the use of the presidents middle name recalled Mr. Trumps questioning of Mr. Obamas faith during his crusade several years ago to prove that Mr. Obama, who is Christian, was not born in the United States.

It's actually getting boring and I'd rather find
productive ways to help Hillary defeat Trump.
