Donald Trump said Wednesday that President Obama
"founded" the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
"ISIS is honoring President Obama," he
said during a rally in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
"He's the founder of ISIS. He founded ISIS."
"I would say the co-founder would be
'Crooked' Hillary Clinton," Trump added of Obama's former secretary of
State and his Democratic rival.
Trump criticized Obama's decision to withdraw
U.S. military forces from the Middle East and leaving behind a void ISIS could
fill.
"We should never have gotten out the way we
got out," he said. "We unleashed terrible fury all over the Middle
East."
"Instead of allowing some small forces
behind to maybe, just maybe, keep it under control, we pulled it out," the
GOP's presidential nominee added.
"Then Obama came in, and normally you want
to clean up and he made a bigger mess. We're not respected. We're laughed at
all over the world."
