It's mind-blowing how far Donald Trump will go to get his feet into the White House.
The Republican Presidential nominee has made the headlines for all sorts of ridiculous shit. Off the top of my head, he wanted to build a wall to keep Mexico out (and then make them pay for it). He also gave the most pointless speech in Scotland following EU Referendum poll. If that wasn't enough, he then allegedly leaked nude photographs of his wife's photoshoot taken back in 1995.

Well, his latest rant targeting the Democratic party has arguably topped them all. When speaking at a rally in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, last night, Trump opened his mouth and yet again controversy came flooding out. This time he claimed, several times, that President Obama is the 'founder of ISIS' and that Hillary Clinton is the 'co-founder'.
"ISIS are honouring President Obama. He is the founder of ISIS, he is the founder of ISIS," Trump said in a public speech during a rally on Wednesday. "And I would say the co-founder would be crooked Hillary Clinton," he continued.
Trump echoed his attack at Clinton last week, also in Florida, in which he said: "[Clinton] should get an award from them [ISIS] as the founder of ISIS."

His comments are shocking but it is not the first time that Obama's administration has been passed the blame over the turmoil in the Middle East. It is often criticised for underestimating the treat of ISIS.
Isis may have expanded rapidly during Obama's tenancy, seizing the opportunity of the Syrian civil war in particular, but the administration has also made gains in its military campaign against the extremist group, reports The Guardian.
Immediately after the June 12 mass shooting at an LGBT nightclub in Orlando, Florida, which left 49 dead and 53 more injured, Trump also claimed that Obama "doesn't get it or he gets it better than anybody understands".

Cryptic.
