Donald Trump accuses Obama of being the founder of ISIS

Donald Trump on Wednesday attacked President Barack Obama for being the founder of the Islamic state at a campaign in Florida.

"In many ways, you know, highlighting President Obama," said Trump during a campaign in Fort Lauderdale. "He is the founder of ISIS."




Last week, his campaign tried to establish financial links between the Clinton Foundation and the terrorist group. Wednesday, he called the Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, "co-founder" of the group.

Trump accused Obama and Clinton of the implementation of the Middle East policies that created a power vacuum in Iraq that has been exploited by the Islamic State. He criticized Obama for announcing the US was withdrawing troops from Iraq; critics believe that Obama created instability that extremist groups thrive.

The White House did not make any comment on the statements of Trump.
