Donald J. Trump tried to quash the latest controversy engulfing his campaign, suggesting on Friday that he was not serious when he said that President Obama and Hillary Clinton were the founders of the Islamic State terrorist group.
After making the suggestion at a rally on Wednesday night, Mr. Trump doubled-down on the assertion on Thursday, insisting in multiple interviews that he really did mean it when he said that the president and Mrs. Clinton were responsible for ISIS. But in an early-morning Twitter post, Mr. Trump said that he was just being sarcastic.

Trump backs off his backpedal on Obama terror claim - Politico
The article is the usual crap from Politico. Zero substance. A handful of fabricated issues (lies), the usual mix.
He’s jerking them around (msm) like the jerks they are.
“Is his Sarcasm claim sarcasm?”
Are you being sacastic? :)

Reince needs to hire a ‘minder’ who is with Donald during 10pm and 7am, and has scheduled access to Donald’s cell phones, tablets and laptops. If only. Donald would figure out some way around it. Maybe ‘borrow’ one of Barron’s tablets for a quick minute. “Shhhh! It’s a game, Barron. It’s our secret! Don’t tell Mommy or Mr. Reince about it, and you get Ice Cream AFTER dessert for a week! Okay pal?”
I didn’t even take it as sarcasm...it was clear to me he was saying that Obama and Clinton’s reckless foreign policy decisions lead to the rise of ISIS...and that’s true. It was then reported that Trump was literally saying Obama and Clinton went and set up the organization...I even saw where CNN did a “fact check” on the claim that Obama was the ISIS founder. That’s beyond stupid. Trump should not have said it was “sarcasm”...he was being illustrative, not sarcastic.
