The folks with elephant pooper scoopers were out in full force again Thursday cleaning up after The Donald’s latest mess.

Trump told folks at a rally in Florida Wednesday that ISIS honor President Obama as its founder and said Hillary Clinton, his opponent for the presidency, was its “co-founder.”

Not only was he wrong, but he was embarrassingly wrong and his surrogates had to go to work and scoop up another pile of, well, you know.

His good media buddy, Hugh Hewitt, a righty radio talk show host, was only too happy Thursday to try to bring Trump back to reality.

Hewitt offered Trump a way out of the comments, but The Donald Knows Best and was having nothing to do with it.

“… Hugh Hewlitt: I’ve got two more questions. Last night, you said the President was the founder of ISIS. I know what you meant. You meant that he created the vacuum, he lost the peace.
Donald Trump: No, I meant he’s the founder of ISIS. I do. He was the most valuable player. I give him the most valuable player award. I give her, too, by the way, Hillary Clinton.
HH: But he’s not sympathetic to them. He hates them. He’s trying to kill them.
DT: I don’t care. He was the founder. His, the way he got out of Iraq was that that was the founding of ISIS, okay?
HH: Well, that, you know, I have a saying, Donald Trump, the pneumonic device I use is Every Liberal Really Seems So, So Sad. E is for Egypt, L is for Libya, S is for Syria, R is for Russia reset. They screwed everything up. You don’t get any argument from me. But by using the term founder, they’re hitting with you on this again. Mistake?
DT: No, it’s no mistake. Everyone’s liking it. I think they’re liking it. I give him the most valuable player award. And I give it to him, and I give it to, I gave the co-founder to Hillary. I don’t know if you heard that. …”

Nice try Hugh, but you should know by now that you can’t save someone who doesn’t want to be saved.

The Donald Knows Best.
