Donald Trump Cribs His War Plan From the ‘Founder’ of ISIS, Barack Obama

Most of what the Republican wants to do to the Islamic State is already being done by the president and would be by Hillary Clinton.

Donald Trump says he has a master plan to defeat ISIS. But on Monday it was clear he has yet to update it to reflect the changing dynamics on the battlefield, which went either unnoticed or ignored by the Republican nominee in what was billed as a speech on how to defeat the terrorist group.

Trump spent a substantial amount of time in his speech hammering the Obama administration for not doing enough to defeat ISIS.

But in Syria, Libya, and Iraq, the multinational effort to defeat ISIS appears now to be on the upswing. And in the sparse moments when Trump actually proposed ideas to defeat ISIS, it sounded suspiciously like the ideas already being put into practice by his arch-nemesis Obama.

You know: the guy Trump called the “founder” of ISIS.
