Trump Calls Obama 'Founder' Of ISIS, Then Claims It Was Sarcasm

At a rally on Wednesday, Trump told a crowd in Florida: “ISIS is honoring President Obama. He is the founder of ISIS. He is the founder of ISIS, OK? He’s the founder. He founded ISIS. And I would say the co-founder would be crooked Hillary Clinton.” Amid heavy pushback from the media, Trump backtracked in a tweet where he hit CNN for reporting the comments as serious and then asked, “THEY DON’T GET SARCASM?” Some may wonder whether those cheering at the rally in Florida thought he was being sarcastic.
