The Islamic State terrorist group called President Trump a “foolish idiot” during a 37-minute rant about the United States, according to a report of the recording that was published Wednesday evening.
“You (America) are bankrupt and the signs of your demise are evident to every eye,” ISIS spokesman Abu Hasan al-Muhajir said in the recording. “There is no clearer sign of you being ruled by a foolish idiot who does not know what Levant or Iraq or Islam is, who continue(s) his hallucination to express his animosity and war against it (Islam).”
The recording was pushed out over social media by Islamic State sympathizers.
The group’s statement is the first against Trump since he was sworn in two and a half months ago.
