“ISIS is honoring president Obama,” the Republican presidential nominee said during a rally at BB&T Center in Sunrise, Fla. “He is the founder of ISIS. He founded ISIS. And, I would say the co-founder would be crooked Hillary Clinton.
Trump’s declaration was met with chants of “Lock her up!” from rally-goers.
In addressing Obama, Trump included the president’s middle name, calling him Barack Hussein Obama — a move that’s typically been employed by those who claim Obama is secretly a Muslim.
“Radical Islamic terrorism,” Trump said. “And people don’t like saying that. Our president refuses to use the term. Every time another event happens, I keep saying, I wonder if he’s gonna say it this time. And he doesn’t say it.”
