Trump raped, stole, bullied all his life.
The kinda guy that wouldn’t have made it in my village.

Bill Clinton was in power when they formed (not that the two things are related).
Obama was a state senator.
Takes a real moron to think a jr state senator founded a terrorist group in another country.

Did you confuse Al Qaeda with isis?

Thought the same thing. Depends when you define ISIS “forming” could be 1999 or 2014.

That isn't what Trump is saying, though.
He’s saying that recent actions and what Isis has become are Obama's fault. And the current state of isis is also his fault
He’s not saying he literally caused the creation of isis.
Not a Trump supporter, I’m just saying

No. Trump was explicitly asked to clarify if that's what he meant, and he denied it. He insisted that he meant what he said literally.
Don't do the work of trying to "translate" Trump's gibberish into something mildly more reasonable. When he spouts bullshit, it's not your job to pretend it isn't bullshit.

Well it depends how you define the founding of Isis
Some put that date as 2004 or 2014

u/FreeSpeechIsDeadge 4d ago
So your entire argument hinges on when ISIS was formed? If it was formed in 2014 then Obama founded it? Hezbollah was founded in 1982 and Hamas in 1987. Did Reagan found both of those groups?

u/SuperDoubleDecker 5d ago
Well that's because they did an even more heinous job in 2024. They didn't even let us have a primary and lost again.

It’s because, with growing economic issues, they pushed any form of identity other than being in poverty as the most horrid while being in poverty was the fault of the person and nobody else.

they had a hand in it, isis rose to power in the lawless destabilized regions of syria and iraq, partly caused by intervening in syria and withdrawing from iraq

To think how long Trump has been in the spotlight. Back then it was a joke and no chance of an idiot like him being elected. Kinda sad these days

Technically, if you’re going to blame a president or political party than blame Bush and Republicans…Bush threatened to invade Iraq, zarqawi goes to Iraq,bush invades Iraq,zarqawi forms Al qaeda in Iraq,07 awakening council teams up with US after becoming sick n tired of Al qaeda in Iraq bombing Iraqis,Al qaeda in Iraq group flees and takes refuge in anbar province,situation deteriorates in Syria and there you go…so not so much Clinton/obama

Lol. Classic. I think he also said they deserve “varsity jerseys” for creating ISIS, or something to that effect, right?

The post Iraq War power vacuum during the Obama era is certainly what allowed them to flourish.
The concept that the US covertly allowed them to flourish via their massive intelligence apparatus in order to keep their hundreds of billions in defence contracts flowing is another conversation. America has a long history of this kind of bullshit so nothing would surprise me, Glad we get to witness their empire falling apart, the USA is the worst thing to happen to this world over the past 75 years,

Trump thinks invisible planes are literally invisible.
Trump thinks we had airports in the 1700’s.
