Donald Trump on Wednesday tweeted a link to an article that claims President Obama has indirectly supported the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), standing behind his remarks earlier this week that Obama might sympathize with terrorists.

An: Media fell all over themselves criticizing what DonaldTrump "may have insinuated about @POTUS." But he's right: http://bit.ly/1tpAFlM

9:38 AM - 15 Jun 2016

The story says Clinton's State Department received a memo from an intelligence agent that al-Qaeda in Iraq, a group that partly splintered off to form ISIS, was the one of the "major forces driving the insurgency in Syria."

Since the Obama administration set up a program to train Syrian rebels in its fight against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the Breitbart article makes the claim that the administration backed the terror group.

The Syrian opposition is filled with dozens of different factions, and the Obama administration has struggled at timed with finding reliable allies not tied to extremists. The Pentagon had made vetting potential allied rebels a piece of its "train and equip" program to provide moderate rebels with assistance. However, that program stalled out after the Pentagon was only able to train 150 rebels, a far cry from the 3,000 goal by the end of 2015.

At this point it's all over but the hand-wringing.

3. "... the Breitbart article makes the claim that...."

4. It's This Kind of Idiocy

that makes me think more and more that the repukes will come to the conclusion that they have no choice but to dump Drumpf and replace him. Five more months of this would lead to a total wipeout on the ticket, from local dog catcher to POTUS. Repukes running for different offices will not only run away from Drumpf, but they may actually join the chorus in excoriating him. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that in a POTUS GE.

I really hope the repukes are dumb enough to leave this alone until after the convention. Every day Drumpf is out there is a gift to the good guys.

5. So is this why President Obama meets w/members of the military and intel community every ...

.... week to work on plans to kill ISIS?

We just killed (report of) the leader of ISIS yesterday.

Trump is insane.

6. Here we go again. He's running against Obama?

Trump is scum.

[displacedtexan]

17. Yes. He's running against both Obama and Bill Clinton.

He's a moron. And not a very smart one, either.

8. The Republicans Have Nominated Orly Taitz for President

Can you imagine how he would develop policy as the President?

[BootinUp]

13. LOL nt

[drm604]

10. The dream scenario

would be that the Republicans find a way to choose someone else at the convention and Trump then decides to run as a third party candidate.

[tanyev]

11. It's like they picked a commenter on a right wing site and made him their presidential nominee.

[Helen Borg]

12. Does that involve a pact with extraterrestrials too?

[womanofthehills]

14. Is Trump listening to Alex Jones again!!

[L. Coyote]

15. O.K., who still doubts the dementia is advanced? The Donald needs a neurological exam ASAP

in the privacy of a doctor's office instead of on Twitter.

19. trump turning into 100% clown and the funny thing is...he is totally deluding himself

[amb123]

20. Same thing as ...

“I have here in my hand a list of 205 (State Department employees) that were known to the Secretary of State as being members of the Communist Party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping the policy of the State Department.”

The more things change, the more they remain the same, doesn't it?

[wheniwasincongress]

21. To be fair...

it IS on the internet!

[RobinA]

22. A Few More

like this and I'm going to have to start considering the possibility that he is trying to lose.

[factory]

26. agreed

I have to agree with you RobinA. I think Trump realizes the hole he's dug himself in and is trying his best to weasel out. I don't think he was ever serious about the job but his ego couldn't say no. Deep down he knows he's toast and will do enough insane actions that the GOP will have to replace him.Then he has the perfect scapegoat, them.

[Deuce]

27. I have always felt that Trump really didn't want to be President and...

He would eventually find a way to gracefully terminate his campaign.

[Ford_Prefect]

23. And the Beat Goes On, and On, and On...The MSM cannot get enough of it to repeat and repeat and...

[world wide wally]

24. Are his family the only people that can have him tested for mental competence?

Or must we accept an insane person as President as long as he gets the most votes?

And please tell us about all those interesting things your investigators found in Hawaii when they were investigating Obama's birth. I am sure "enquiring minds want to know"

I don't think this prick would even hire himself for a job in one of his casinos.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

25. Next we will hear Trump claim the moon landing was faked.

[PearliePoo2]

29. Holy fucking shit...is this lunatic actually going to get official intel briefings? NO!

Tell me it ain't so!
There's GOT be be a way to stop it. In the name of this nation's National Security ffs.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

30. Trump would compromise security by leaking or flat out saying. Should be denied before it happens.nt

[PearliePoo2]

31. WHEN is he eligible to get classified briefings? OMG!

When? It CAN'T be allowed! There has to be an intervention!

[matt819]

32. Oh, it's from Breitbart

One step up from Alex Jones. One step down from the National Enquirer.

34. Keep tweeting, Donald.

Don't stop until November.
