After accusing President Barack Obama of being the founder of the brutal and ruthless terrorist group ISIS—and Hillary Clinton its co-founder—and then doubling down on his comments to all who would listen over the past 24 hours, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is now claiming that his comments were sarcasm.
The Republican standard-bearer is miffed at CNN for covering his accusations about the President and has tweeted:
Donald trump’s campaign has been fueled in large part by the Republican Party’s opposition and hatred of Barack Obama for almost eight long years, the behavior he is currently exhibiting is partly an outgrowth of this hate.
He still has the backing of the majority of his party leaders and, with every day that goes by, it is becoming clearer and clearer that they are self-immolating.
