Trump claimed ICE endorsed him, he's too stupid to realize ICE is a government agency

3. It was a union endorsement. His supporters wouldn't know the difference.

Trump is probably referring to the endorsement of the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council, a union representing 5,000 immigration officers. His campaign announced the backing Monday morning, noting it was the first time the group had endorsed a presidential candidate.

5. My husband, who is not an uninformed person, thought he meant IS -- another word for ISIS or ISIL.

So he thought it was a very odd thing for Trump to say.

Probably why he wasn't corrected on ICE being a government agency...

Mom: "Did he just say ISIS endorsed him?"

Had to be that IS, because we know a US government agency couldn't have been endorsing him.

The jihadist group Islamic State (IS) burst on to the international scene in 2014 when it seized large swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq. It has become notorious for its brutality, including mass killings, abductions and beheadings. The group though has attracted support elsewhere in the Muslim world - and a US-led coalition has vowed to destroy it.

What does IS want?

In June 2014, the group formally declared the establishment of a "caliphate" - a state governed in accordance with Islamic law, or Sharia, by God's deputy on Earth, or caliph.
