After labelling Barack Obama the legitimate founder of ISIS – and slandering campaign opponent Hillary Clinton as its co-founder – Trump has lashed out on Twitter, blaming the media for apparently not getting his next-level “sarcasm.”
Ratings challenged @CNN reports so seriously that I call President Obama (and Clinton) “the founder” of ISIS, & MVP. THEY DON’T GET SARCASM?

The problem is, the human-shaped mound of Doritos dust that is Donald Trump cannot distance himself from the raw footage of the statement, nor the follow-up interview highlighted by CNN.
ICYMI, you can peep the Don’s unabridged statement riiight here:
The broadcaster highlighted an interview with a right-wing (!!!) radio talk show host, who actually wanted to get the full context of Trump’s boggling thought process.
When given the opportunity to track back his claim in friendly media territory, the Republican nominee doubled the hell down. Trump said “no, I meant he’s the founder of ISIS.
I do. He was the most valuable player. I give him the most valuable player award.I give her, too, by the way, Hillary Clinton.”
Somehow, even more worryingly, Trump also asked the interviewer “do you not like that?”
Sad. Bring on November.
