ISIS REACTS TO TRUMP'S 'IDIOT' PRESIDENCY IN FIRST EVER OFFICIAL COMMENTS
BY TOM O'CONNOR ON 4/4/17 AT 3:23 PM
The Islamic State group, also known as ISIS, has criticized President Donald Trump, insulting his intelligence and political leadership in the global jihadist organization's first official comments on the leader since he took office earlier this year.
ISIS sympathizers released an audio recordingover 30-minutes-longof the group's official spokesperson Abi al-Hassan al-Muhajir condemning the forces attempting to oust the jihadists from what remains of their territory in Iraq and Syria. Muhajir took particular aim at the U.S., which has led an international anti-ISIS coalition active in Iraq and Syria. Muhajir addressed the U.S. directly, saying, "You are bankrupt and the signs of your demise are evident to every eye."
"...There is no more evidence than you being run by an idiot who does not know what Syria or Iraq or Islam is," he said in an audio recording released by chats Tuesday on encrypted messaging application Telegram, according to Reuters. "You have drowned and there is no savior," a transcription provided on Telegram by an ISIS supporter added.

OP
Squinch
(50,950 posts)1. I can't disagree with any of what was quoted in the OP. I have a friend from overseas who recently
said to me, "Why would anyone in their right mind want to visit the US." I couldn't disagree with any of that either.
I love my country. This may be my saddest post ever.

almost 59 years, I'm embarrassed, ashamed of this government. I won't even call it "my" government.
