Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has accused United States President Barack Obama and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton of founding the Islamic State terror group. During a Wednesday campaign rally in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, Trump said, “ISIS is honoring President Obama. He’s the founder of ISIS.” He added, “I would say the co-founder would be Crooked Hillary Clinton,”
Referring to the United States withdrawal from Iraq, Trump said, "We unleashed terrible fury all over the Middle East. Instead of allowing some small forces behind to maybe, just maybe, keep it under control, we pulled it out. Then Obama came in, and normally you want to clean up and he made a bigger mess. We're not respected. We're laughed at all over the world."
