Trump retracts Isis accusation, mocks Clinton
Donald Trump has tweeted a retraction of comments he has made repeatedly this week claiming Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were the co-founders of Isis. “Ratings challenged @CNN reports so seriously that I call President Obama (and Clinton) ‘the founder’ of ISIS, & MVP,” he tweeted at 3.26am on Friday. “THEY DON’T GET SARCASM?” In Florida on Thursday night, the Republican candidate implied Clinton lacks mental stamina, and twice got the day wrong. “Look, what happens, she gives a short speech then she goes home, goes to sleep, she shows up two days later. Remember, short circuit. Remember that, right? Short circuit.” Last week the Democratic nominee said that she “may have short-circuited” her answer in a TV interview about the FBI investigation into her use of a private email server as secretary of state. Meanwhile the Guardian’s Amber Jamieson returned to 12 “secret Trump” supporters who did not want to tell their friends and family about their choice and found that four of them had now jumped off the Trump train.
