ISIS Targets Donald Trump
The Islamic State (ISIS) has released its first public critic of President Donald Trump since he assumed office last Jan. 20, saying America is drowning and "being run by an idiot." The message was made as U.S.-backed forces currently fight to retake two big cities, Mosul in Iraq and Raqqa in Syria, which are both controlled by the terror group.
"America you have drowned and there is no savior, and you have become prey for the soldiers of the caliphate in every part of the earth, you are bankrupt and the signs of your demise are evident to every eye." ISIS spokesman Abu Hassan al-Muhajir said in the audio recorded message.
He added that the United States is being run by an idiot, referring to Trump, who doesn't know what Syria, Iraq or Islam is.

"Die of spite America, die of spite, a nation where both young and old are racing to die in the name of God will not be defeated," the terror group's spokesman went on.
Trump made the defeat of ISIS a major campaign promise, even boasting to knowing more about the terror group than generals do. He also said on several occasions that he would go after the ISIS-controlled oil fields.
"I would bomb the s--- out of 'em. I would just bomb those suckers. That's right. I'd blow up the pipes... I'd blow up every single inch. There would be nothing left." he said back in 2015.
After assuming the presidency, Trump's first order was to give his generals 30 days to come up with a plan to defeat ISIS. Pentagon responded by presenting an anti-ISIS blueprint called Operation Inherent Resolve which called for sending more troops and staging more bombings in Iraq and Syria.
But al-Muhajir said in the 37-minute recording they would never be driven from the Middle East and would continue to maintain strongholds in Syria, Iraq and Yemen. He also called on their followers to stage more attacks in the United States, Russia and European Union, according to the Independent.
