"POTUS is ISIS' Most Valuable Player" —@realDonaldTrump to me just now.

Hillary Clinton is having a really bad week, made worse as we’ve told you by new emails that have surfaced that appear to show there was a pay-to-play relationship between the State Department and donors to the Clinton Foundation.
But that’s not what’s trending this morning.
At his rally in Ft. Lauderdale last night, Donald Trump accused President Obama of being the “founder of ISIS” and that’s what everyone is now talking about:
Trump calling Obama "the founder of ISIS" is a coded message. Implying treason. Journalists must decode & debunk it. https://t.co/gvXZ5DB7LB

Radio host Hugh Hewitt even tried to help Trump out during his interview this morning saying, “I know what you meant. You meant that he created the vacuum, he lost the peace.”
Trump responded with, “No, I meant he’s the founder of ISIS” and “Everyone’s liking it, I think they’re liking it.”
