"She hasn't done anything about what's going on"?

Is that even English? Or just a very unusual formation of words constructed into a sentence by that of a fucking simpleton?

Trump, citing attack in Istanbul, blames Clinton for Islamic State strength

By Brian Hannon and Jose A. DelReal June 29 at 6:10 PM

BANGOR, Maine — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Wednesday blamed Hillary Clinton for the growth of the Islamic State during a campaign event here in Bangor, citing the recent terrorist attack at a major airport in Istanbul.

“I've been watching her for so many years. She has been in that position for so long in one way or another. She hasn't done anything about what's going on. ISIS was formed during her tenure,” Trump said. “ISIS is now worse than ever. You see what happened yesterday, you see what's going on generally.”

Trump’s forceful rhetoric on combating terrorism — both at home and abroad — have been at the center of his presidential bid, even amid persistent questions about his grasp of foreign policy. Trump has often pointed to Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state under President Obama to call into question her judgment on foreign affairs, particularly with regard to foreign interventions in Iraq and Libya.

"They're taking our youth. You know why they're taking our youth? Because they look like they're winning. We have to give them a big, fat, ugly defeat,” Trump added.

Dirty tricks from the other side, makes me have to defend her.

Apparently they are developing an ad that trys to triangulate, Benghazi, gun control, and Hillary.

It's so absurd.

Eff them.

2. Trump never gets around to describing what he proposes

To do about Isis. He seems baffled by it,
saying nothing more that "Something bad is going on!" and "We've got to find out what is going on!"

I don't see how this could be called "forceful rhetoric".

3. I guess he thinks that, as a private citizen now, she's supposed to throw on a cape,

and fly in like Mighty Mouse singing 'Here I come to save the day!!" Or maybe she should channel the marvelous Marvin Gaye and sing "What's Goin' On?"

There's something WRONG with The Donald, I think. I am not just talking about his hate-filled views, his racism and other forms of bigotry, or his abject stupidity. I think he has a medical issue that is affecting the way his brain functions. It's like he's melting down and falling apart in slow motion.

4. ISIL is, in fact, losing territory

Launching terror attacks is exactly what I'd expect from them as they lose more and more towns and cities. It's what Boko Haram has done in the Sahel.

But it doesn't matter, because facts are irrelevant to his campaign and persona.
