Trump the Draft Dodger in the Oval Office, ‘I Defeated the Caliphate … I Defeated the Caliphate, ISIS!’
Donald Trump hosted the Prime Minister of Australia in the Oval Office today, and gave a wide ranging press spray that included everything from Joe Biden to Trump single-handedly defeating ISIS.
Trump again attacked The New York Times for publishing a story about Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and insulted gathered reporters in the Oval Office as a “joke.”
“Everybody has read it,” Trump said. “They laugh at it. It is another media disaster. The media has lost so much credibility in this country. Our media has become the laughingstock of the world. When you look at what they did to justice Kavanaugh and so many other things last week. I think this is one of the worst weeks in the history of the fake news media.”
“You can’t do worse than some of the stories you missed over the last week or two but the media of our country is laughed at all over the world now. You are a joke,” he continued.

Trump then boasted about how he defeated ISIS, and how if Europe doesn’t handle the captured ISIS fighters he will simply release them?
TRUMP: "I defeated the caliphate … I defeated the caliphate, ISIS."
He then threaten to release ISIS fighters at the border of European countries if those countries don't agree to take them back.
"Then they'll have to capture them again," he says. 😳 pic.twitter.com/cGYFsYqcZK

Trump just said "I defeated the caliphate" as if he lifted one finger to defeat ISIS.
How disrespectful to all the troops that gave their lives fighting those assholes.

Travel back in time with me to when Fox News used to count the number of times Obama said "I" in a speech

Talk about a "Mad King" – this criminal monster is completely off the rails! Republicans will continue to accept more and more criminal and authoritarian behavior – there's NO bottom!
