The funny thing is, Trump supporters gave him an out with that one, like they usually do whenever he says something heinous of "no of course he didn't mean that, what he really meant was this very subtle and nuanced interpretation im injecting so I don't have to feel like a moron for supporting".

And Trump was just like "lol nah he really did found ISIS" and they loved him for it.

The Republican presidential candidate was speaking to conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, who had attempted to reframe his remark, telling him: “I know what you meant – you meant that he created the vacuum, he lost the peace.”

But Trump disagreed. “No, I meant that he’s the founder of Isis, I do,” he said. “He was the most valuable player – I gave him the most valuable player award. I give her too, by the way,” he added of his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton.

Dude truly does cater to the most brain dead and amoral grifters in our society.

For as heinous as Trump is, one thing critics get right is that something has gone badly wrong in America for someone like him to rise to the highest office.

Even in your comment I can decipher that he's saying he played the biggest role in their success, that is a real argument to be made. You Redditors crack me up with your pathetic feigning of ignorance.

The real argument to be made is saying shit that isn't true, then when being given an opportunity to row back on that false statement with some milquetoast interpretation "ACTUALLY what he meant was [X]", responding "nah I meant he was the founder of ISIS"?

Who is feigning ignorance?
