Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump demanded an apology Monday from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over her comments that Trump was becoming “becoming ISIS’ best recruiter.”

During Saturday’s Democratic presidential debate in New Hampshire, Clinton said the terrorist group is “showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists.”

Trump, during an appearance on NBC’s “TODAY” program, said this claim was the latest in a series of lies from Clinton.

“I will demand an apology from Hillary. She should apologize,” Trump said. “She lies about emails, she lies about Whitewater, she lies about everything. She will be a disaster about everything as president of the United States.”

  1. You can tell he’s not used to being attacked, it took him 2 days to demand an apology.

    Thin skinned fucker ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

  2. Piss off, Donald. The average Dem pom-pom girl could kick your spray-tanned wide ass. You’re going to get destroyed in the general.

  3. I am surprised how they quickly they took the bait. Can’t imagine that this was not a planned attack from the Clinton campaign. I guess big ego doesn’t really equate with big learning skills.

  4. I think the same. The Clintons know what is out there and what isn’t. This is another invitation to Donald to bring his favorite checker set to the chess match.

  5. I found it amusing he mentioned Whitewater… most people under 50 will have no idea what that even means.
