Trump likes to stir up headlines so he can feign ignorance when it blows up. He knows what he's doing but I don't see how this helps his campaign at all. It helped him in the primaries because let's face it, his base are a bunch of mouth-breathers that fall for that . In the general election it's just another waste of a day where he's not making up any ground and instead digging himself a bigger hole with the undecided voters.

I'm glad Trump is going in that ass
Truth is Obama founded ISIS by allowing Mcain and other jyts to go to Syria and personally dliver weapons and $ to Al Bigdaddy. Obama was the boss's so if the boss allows it to happen, its on the boss.
Same thing what happened with Bin Laden being killed. Obama toom the credit didn't he?
NEGATIVE name recognition, aka he's NOTORIOUS for lying, race-baiting, xenophobia, etc, etc.
The true founder of ISIS
No matter how you feel about politics, there has been no evidence to suggest that Obama literally created ISIS.
"I would say it's another unsupportable conspiracy theory," John Limbert, an international affairs professor and former State Department counterterrorism official, told Politifact last month when Trump floated the concept that the president supported Al Qaeda and ISIS.
Politifact rated the claim to be a "Pants on Fire" lie.
ISIS's generally recognized creator was a Jordanian man named Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who started a group named Al Qaeda in Iraq in 2004 after leaving prison.
He pledged loyalty to Osama bin Laden and wanted "to foment a civil war" by targeting Shiite Muslims, "causing them to retaliate against Sunnis, who would then have no choice but to turn to jihadists for protection," PBS reported.
Zarqawi was killed in an airstrike in 2006, but his ideas had taken hold. His successor, Abu Ayub al-Masri, changed Zarqawi's organization's name to the Islamic State of Iraq later that year. Masri also put Abu Umar al-Baghdadi in charge.
A raid left both men dead in 2010, and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the current leader of ISIS, took over, according to Stanford University's Mapping Militant Organizations project.
While ISIS was forming overseas, Obama was busy campaigning for and eventually being elected to the presidency. In 2014, he announced the U.S. was putting together an anti-ISIS coalition to conduct airstrikes on the extremist group.
"Our objective is clear: We will degrade, and ultimately destroy, ISIL through a comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy," Obama said at the time.
The Pentagon has said its airstrikes have taken out more than 20,000 ISIS supporters.

Donald Trump To Address Extremist Anti-LGBT Summit In Orlando
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is scheduled to attend a radical anti-LGBT event in being held in Orlando this week exactly two months after the Pulse nightclub shooting,
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and a host of anti-LGBT extremists are slated to address the “Rediscovering God in America” event,
Lane, a vocal opponent of LGBT equality, has said that “ sexuals praying at the Inauguration” in 2012 would cause “car bombs in Los Angeles, Washington D.C. and Des Moines, Iowa” as a sign of God’s judgment and that the “pagan onslaught” of the LGBT rights movement will lead to the destruction ofAmerica.

TRUMP SAYS HE WOULD ONLY USE NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN A SARCASTIC WAY
NEW YORK — Clarifying his position on a key national-security issue, Donald Trump said on Friday that as President he would be willing to use nuclear weapons “but only in a sarcastic way.”
“People who are worried about me having the nuclear launch codes should stop worrying, O.K.?” Trump told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer.
“If I ever used nuclear weapons it would be really obvious that I was just being sarcastic.”
Pressed by Blitzer to explain the
difference between a sarcastic and non-sarcastic nuclear attack,
Trump responded,
“You’d use the weapons and everything, but then you’d say, ‘Just kidding.’”
Trump did not specify which nations he would target for a sarcastic nuclear attack. “I can’t say right now,” he said. “But there are a lot of countries that need to lighten up.”

Donald Trump is only looking out for himself and his billionaire friends? Not surprised.
Why would we even expect Donald to come up with a serious plan to fix a rigged economy? He's the one who rigged it.
Donald says he will "fix" trade – he can start by shutting down his own sweatshops in Bangladesh and pay workers in the U.S. a living wage.
(Wanna know why Trump believes wages are too high in the U.S.? He is used to paying 30 cents an hour in low-wage countries abroad.)
He's the poster child of failed trade policies:
❌ Trump clothing made in Mexico
❌ Trump ties made in China
❌ Trump shirts made in Bangladesh
❌ Trump furniture made in Turkey and Germany
❌ Trump picture frames made in India
❌ Trump barware made in Slovenia
Wanna know how serious Donald is about fixing the trade problem?
From Trump University: "Outsourcing Creates Jobs in the Long Run."
Meanwhile, Trump is proposing huge tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires while gutting the Department of Education and the EPA.
Trump's plan to repeal the estate tax alone would give a $269 billion tax break over a 10-year period to the top two-tenths of 1 percent.
In total, Trump wants to provide a $3 trillion tax cut to Americans who make over $1 million a year.

Mentally Unbalanced Man Still Waiting For The Right Trump Comment To Incite Him
HARRISBURG, PA—Explaining that the candidate’s recent inflammatory statements had further stoked his uncontrollable fury but hadn’t quite pushed him over the edge, local resident and mentally unhinged man Peter Scheft told reporters Friday he is still waiting for the exact right comment from Trump that will incite him to action.
“Donald Trump has definitely said a lot of things that have reinforced my paranoid worldview, but I still haven’t heard that one key phrase that I know will really set me off,” said the psychologically disturbed 45-year-old, who noted that Trump’s remarks over the past 12 months, while increasingly vitriolic and incendiary, have not yet been worded in such a way that speaks directly to his delusional beliefs and spurs him to act on his manic, deep-seated rage.
“It might not be tomorrow, or next week, or maybe not even until the debates, but sooner or later Trump is going to utter a perfectly phrased comment that provokes a major reaction from me.
It could be a statement comparing all refugees to the 9/11 hijackers, or one that
describes liberal judges as enemies of the Cons ution bent on removing all our freedoms—
regardless, I have complete confidence that between now and Election Day, something he says will just click and set me on an irreversible course of action.”
The deeply troubled individual added that if Trump were to ever direct a bitter comment toward women who use Planned Parenthood services, that might be just the ticket.

Is he going to say he was being sarcastic for every re ed he's ever said?
"I like him cause he says what he means."

Trump makes play for evangelicals by noting his problems in Mormon-rich Utah
Trump tried to draw a direct distinction between himself and Mitt Romney, the party’s 2012 nominee, who would have become the nation’s first Mormon president.
Echoing some post-2012 analysis suggesting that Romney’s religion led some evangelicals to stay home, Trump said “religion didn’t get out and vote” for the former governor, “whatever the reason.”
Here in Orlando, he spoke to leaders of evangelical Christian groups, some of whom have privately expressed skepticism about Mormons.
Trump stressed his difficulties in the country’s only majority-Mormon state — making an apparent play for support by noting that he has a “tremendous problem” in Utah.
Recent polls have shown Clinton within striking distance of Trump in Utah.
Trump’s brash style appears to have turned off much of the state’s large Mormon population, as it did during the GOP primary campaign.
Trump lost badly to Sen. Ted Cruz (Tex.) in Utah’s Republican caucuses.

And Trump is wrong again. Evangelicals came out and voted for Romney. That's not why Romney lost.

70 Top Republicans Call on the RNC to Dump Trump: His 'Chances of Being Elected President Are Evaporating by the Day'

Trump backs away from labeling Obama founder of Islamic State
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday backed away from repeated remarks labeling President Barack Obama and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton as the founders of Islamic State, saying they were sarcasm.
A new opinion poll showed Trump losing ground in three crucial states.
Trump used the unfounded description of Clinton and Obama on Wednesday night and all day on Thursday during campaign appearances in Florida, including in an interview on Thursday with radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt.
"I meant he’s (Obama) the founder of ISIS. I do. He was the most valuable player," Trump said, using an acronym for the militant Islamist group, adding that Clinton also deserved the MVP award.
But in a tweet on Friday, he called the comments sarcasm.
It was the same tactic he used to try to quell criticism after he invited Russia in late July to dig up tens of thousands of "missing" emails from Clinton's time as U.S. secretary of state.
He tweeted, "Ratings challenged @CNN reports so seriously that I call President Obama (and Clinton) 'the founder' of ISIS, & MVP. THEY DON'T GET SARCASM?"
Trump's accusation against Obama and Clinton went well beyond a charge made in the past by him and other Republicans: that the president and former secretary of state helped create the conditions for the rise of Islamic State by withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq in 2011.
But a Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Marist poll released on Friday suggested support for Trump is eroding among voters in three battleground states.
Such states are hotly contested because their populations can swing either to Republicans or Democrats and thus play a decisive role in presidential elections.
The poll found Clinton widening her lead in Colorado, Virginia and North Carolina, while holding her advantage over Trump in Florida.
Clinton released her tax returns on Friday, painting the move as a sign of transparency that her campaign says Trump lacks.

Happy Birthday Social Security -- Let's Remember That Mike Pence Was A Cheerleader For The Program's Destruction
As early as 2002, Pence spoke in the House of Representatives in favor of privatization. In 2005, after President Bush proposed reforms, he delivered speechafter speech in favor of the proposal. He claimed at the time, “Social Security reform means keeping its promise in tact for seniors and all who choose to remain in the system. But Social Security reform also means offering a better deal to younger Americans in the form of voluntary personal accounts.”
A consistent theme of Pence’s was that privatization and other reforms would save the program from insolvency and protect seniors from future cuts. This was not true.
According to an analysis at the time from the Center for American Progress, such reforms would actually “worsen Social Security’s financial outlook. In addition:
- Bush Would Address Solvency Solely by Cutting Benefits.
- Benefit Cuts Would Come Through a Change in the Benefit Formula.
- Bush’s Benefit Cuts Would Affect 70 Percent of All Taxpayers.
- More Benefit Cuts Down the Road under Bush’s Plan.
Furthermore, Bush’s privatization plan would have added “trillions of dollars” to the deficit, while only providing “limited” investment choices for seniors. Yet Pence enthusiastically supported this policy.

Trump Blows A Gasket Changes His Mind And Claims Obama Really Did Found ISIS
Donald Trump has blown up in Pennsylvania and changed his mind by claiming that he isn't being sarcastic. Obama really did found ISIS.
When I said that Obama, and of course, I’m being sarcastic.
They know that, because after I said that, I said he’s the MVP, he is going to collect his MVP award.
So I said Obama is the founder of ISIS, the founder, and these dishonest media people they say did he mean that, and after that, I’d say a lot, in fact, they like him so much because he’s been so week and so bad.
I mean, he let this happen.
They had eight states.
They had eight countries.
They’re now in twenty-eight countries.
They’re expanding.
So I said the founder of ISIS. Obviously, I was being sarcastic, then, then but not that sarcastic to be honest with you.
Trump then went on a rant about the media being the lowest form of humanity.

Trump co-chair smears Khan Gold Star parents with a vicious lie: They support ‘ISIS-type’ groups
Carl Paladino is a proud co-chair of the Donald Trump campaign in New York and he’s frustrated at the bum rap his candidate is getting over the Khan family scandal.
Trump surrogates and spokespeople have tried to move forward, but moments like Paladino’s keep popping up. Paladino’s son died in Iraq in 2004 but he has little sympathy for the Khan family, claiming Mr. Khan doesn’t deserve the le of a Gold Star parent. He explained that Khan is “anti-American” and alleged he is supportive of “the ISIS-type of at ude against America.”
“We’ve got an un-indicted felon as his opponent and you’re talking about Khan, about him making a remark about this man,” Paladino told Imus in the Morning.
“All right, I don’t care if he’s a Gold Star parent.
He certainly doesn’t deserve that le, OK, if he’s as anti-American as he’s illustrated in his speeches and in his discussion.
I mean, if he’s a member of the Muslim Brotherhood or supporting, you know, the ISIS-type of at ude against America, there’s no reason for Donald Trump to have to honor this man.”
He continued the conversation by pushing internet conspiracy rumors about Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton’s health that have been debunked and that President Barack Obama is a secret Muslim, which has also been debunked.

Paladino? google him to see what a bag he is. He will turn NY totally Repug all by himself
Trump trolling the oven dodger media
Here’s the set-up:
1. The mainstream media knows they are smarter than Donald Trump. They see evidence of this truth all the time, although much of that evidence is confirmation bias.*
Then…
2. Trump does something smart – accusing Obama and Clinton of being*“founders” of ISIS. This is a clever way to get the world to debate Clinton and Obama’s ineffectiveness during a time when ISIS expanded. In other words, it is brilliant media manipulation, and it worked.
3. CNN and other Clinton supporters interpret Trump’s statement about ISIS as absurd and uninformed because they can’t imagine a scenario in which Trump does something brilliant. Trump being brilliant isn’t one of the options, as far as they know.
The reality of Trump’s clever persuasion is crystal-clear to anyone who thinks Trump is smart. Trump was clearly joking about the*“founder” part to get people squawking, and it worked. Total success. Brilliant technique.
Now the media has a big problem. They can’t admit that they were extraordinarily dumb in this situation and Trump was brilliant. That reality is invisible to them because it doesn’t fit their worldview.
So…cognitive dissonance happens.*
This is a textbook set-up for cognitive dissonance. The facts we observe (Trump is smart, the media is gullible) is opposite of the media’s worldview in which they are smart and Trump is uninformed. So what do they do?
They act as if Trump is the dumb one in this situation. Because that fits their worldview.
And…they…fact-check his claim.
Meanwhile, the unhypnotized laugh themselves into a stupor watching this spectacle of cognitive dissonance. Humor aside, it is a marvelous and incredible thing to behold.
One of my smartest friends just emailed me to say he thinks Trump really believes that Obama and Clinton*“founded” ISIS. My friend has a very high IQ and he’s well-informed. But cognitive dissonance isn’t influenced by intelligence. He believes whatever fits his worldview. Just like the rest of us.
The fun part is that we can see cognitive dissonance when it happens to others – such as with my friend, and CNN – but we can’t see it when it happens to us. So don’t get too smug about this. You’re probably next.*
I think this story will end up in psychology textbooks. You rarely see such a clean example of cognitive dissonance in public.
Oh, and Trump hates babies, and he also wants a 2nd amendment supporter to assassinate his opponent. As long as the media is being dumbasses, they might as well fact-check that stuff too.
I have never been so entertained.
Trump Has Gone So Crazy That His Own Campaign Has No Idea What He’s Talking About
Donald Trump has gone so crazy that even his own campaign can’t explain what he is talking about.
Trump spokesperson Katrina Pierson aimlessly flailed around an MSNBC interview when she was asked if Trump was being sarcastic when he said that Obama founded ISIS.
Kristen Welker asked Trump spokesperson Katrina Pierson if Trump was being sarcastic about Obama founding ISIS.Her answer was, “Yes and no.”
Pierson tried to compare Trump’s comments to Clinton joking that she knew so little about computers that she thought you wiped a hard drive with a cloth.
Welker zoomed right back in, “Katrina, I’m going to stop you. The answer can’t be both yes and no.”
Pierson said that Trump was being sarcastic, but he was being very serious when he talked about what happened and why ISIS was here today.
Welker brought up Trump telling Hugh Hewitt that he was being literal.
Pierson tried to spin, but it was obvious that she was making up her own interpretation of what Trump meant as the interview went along.Donald Trump has gone so far down the rabbit hole that his own campaign has no idea what he is talking about.
Here is how the latest Trump mess has gone down:
1). Trump claimed Obama founded ISIS.
2). Trump said he was only being sarcastic.
3). Later the same day, Trump reverses himself and claims that he really wasn’t being sarcastic.
Donald Trump’s own campaign can’t explain their candidate’s out of control behavior.
Trump has gone far off the rails that there is no clean up possible.
What we are witnessing is a candidate who is so uncontrollable that he has gone rogue on his own campaign.
