In fact, he gets the Most Valuable Player award. Him and Hillary.

Having to do with Iraq, and having to do with the ISIS situation. Or as he would call it, ISIL. He calls it ISIL because nobody else does. He probably wants to bother people by using a different term. And whether it&#8217;s more accurate or not, most people call it ISIS. He calls it ISIL. He was the founder of ISIS and so was she. I call them co-founders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;Because of the way he got out \u2026 as bad as it was that they went in, he shouldn&#8217;t have gotten in the way he got out. He shouldn&#8217;t have gotten out the way he got out. It was a disaster what he did.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s5\">___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/Headline\/trump-isis-obama-founder\/2016\/08\/11\/id\/743139\/#ixzz4H3TgYTw1\"><span class=\"s6\">http:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/Headline\/trump-isis-obama-founder\/2016\/08\/11\/id\/743139\/#ixzz4H3TgYTw1<\/span><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=45841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45841\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=45841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=45841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=45841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
