During a speech in Denver Friday Donald Trump lamented that the Islamic State thinks the United States is “stupid” and charged that Hillary Clinton would be a “weak” president.
Trump, who renewed his calls for torture in the wake of the attacks in Istanbul, complained that while Islamic State terrorists carry out beheadings, the United States has ended its practice of waterboarding.
“They think we are so stupid. They think we are so weak,” he said in remarks at the Western Conservative Summit. “The only thing they understand is strength and toughness.”
He then called Hillary Clinton a “weak person.”
“They will not understand Hillary,” Trump said of ISIL terrorists.
“They want her to get in so badly,” he continued. “They have dreams at night, and their dreams are that Hillary Clinton becomes president of our country.”
Experts who monitor online chatter among Islamic State adherents have told TPM that in fact jihadis express excitement at the prospect of a Trump presidency because it will help reinforce their message that the West is anti-Muslim. They also envision Trump bogging the United States down in a land war in the Middle East that will weaken the lone remaining superpower.
Trump also knocked Secretary of State John Kerry for breaking his leg in a bike accident while in Switzerland for negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program.
“I promise you, I swear to you, I will never be in a bicycle race during a major negotiation,” Trump told the crowd in Denver.
Projection way too much alert.
Good lord…he makes America look stupid. Everything anybody EVER says about him, Trump is out on the stump ‘blaming’ Hillary Clinton. And then just like some tic he can’t control, he has to slam SOMEONE, ANYONE for being ‘stupid’ and how he is so much ‘greater’…and every media outlet faithfully ‘reports’ it.
Actually the opposite is true.
ISIS is pulling for Trump. He’s the best recruitment tool they’ve ever seen.
Good call. I don’t believe that dumpy bum actually fits on a bicycle seat.
“They have dreams at night, and their dreams are that Hillary Clinton becomes president of our country.”
Okie Dokey, except it’s actual best words over the Internet are they are “giddy” over the waves of new recruits they will have at the prospect of a land war with us if you get in.
Edit: And another thing, why are you such a big fan of “finding out what’s going on” before letting Muslims immigrate to America to stop American deaths numbering in double digits (at most), but are absolutely opposed to gun research that would find out both how/from whom foreign terrorists get their guns and domestic shooters and children too whose annual death toll numbers five digits?
