Trump Backtracks on his Claim that Obama founded ISIS: 'They don't get sarcasm?'
After doubling down on his assertion that President Barack Obama is the “founder” of the Islamic State, Donald Trump on Friday suggested he was being sarcastic. Trump tweeted:
"Ratings challenged @CNN reports so seriously that I call President Obama (and Clinton) ‘the founder’ of ISIS, & MVP THEY DON'T GET SARCASM?"

Why is trump cucking so hard these days?

Because he has to play ball. Hard.
He could have handled it better, saying something like "he didn't found them personally or even intentionally, just through his incompetence of handling things in the Middle East lead to circumstances that ISIS took advantage of and grew".

Sarcasm: "the use of irony to mock or convey contempt."
It's an ironic statement, buddy. He's just pulling more attention to it.
The Pavlovian liberal will soon associate Obama with ISIS all thanks to the free press.
Evan Reed
also sage because OP is a faggot.
WHERE'S THE FUCKING LINK OP?
Jason Edwards
ask your wife lil' bitch
My only critique would be his use of "sarcasm" rather than "hyperbole".
Juan Perry
Trump should never ever use that word because the media will try to pop him with it like a balloon.
David Cooper
He's not. Slit your fucking wrists.
Ethan Edwards
Thank you for correcting the record!

YOU DON'T GET SARCASM?
Angel Hill
Holy shit!!!! You've totally destroyed Donald Trump!! With no reason left to vote for Trump, I now vow to cast my ballot for Hillary!!! The only true candidate who will keep this country on the right track!!
Xavier Reyes
Dude…. Holy shit…. Just stop already, you've already completely destroyed this board and everyon on it. Having ended Trump's campaign, we no longer have anyone to vote for anyway…. Please just have mercy bro…..

Remember what Trump said. You make a ridiculous offer to thr point where your prospective business partners (the people in this case) will be talking about it and then you walk away from it. Then they pull you back in and then you get what you want either at or close to the terms you laid out.
Ethan Perry
Who else a #HillfireMissile now?
Anthony Bell
weeeeeeeeeeeew
Owen Rivera
Maybe he's feeling them out. After all, getting them to report on the semi-outrageous things has been a formula for success so far for him, "Anonymous".
Brayden Kelly
To be fair he even called Obama the MVP. How dense are these media "elites"
Hudson Murphy
concern trolling from the right, projection from the left. very predictable these days

This is not a tweet by the God Emperor himself.
His campaign staff is "apologising" for him because the statement was taken the wrong way. But, this is a really big problem. The person who wrote this obviously didn't understand what Trump meant by Obama being the founder of ISIS and now the statement makes even less sense.
Donald Trump doesn't believe president Barack Obama personally laid the plans for an Islamic theocratic guerilla state.
He's saying that the American foreign policy under Obama (and previous presidents) has directly or indirectly created the situation necessary for a group like ISIS to appear.
However, because many Americans are stupid af, Trump writes a simplified statement that gets his point across - the point being "here's who to blame for the current situation in the Middle East".
There's context here, which doesn't really shine though in the Twitter format. Unfortunately there's this one retard on the campaign staff who has social media access. So instead of getting a truth bomb about the current state of affairs, we get the piss poor explanation "IS SARCASM DUH??!!".
It makes Trump look bad.

This is the most wrong thing I've ever read on this website
What gets more coverage than Trump saying something crazy? Trump backtracking on something crazy. This isnt about Trump now, by the end of this media cycle everyone in America will know who is funding ISIS, no more hush hush
Cameron Lee
Actually, Trump said that explicitly during his radio interview with Hugh Hewitt.
