“Plenty of Turks have been killed because of conflicts on their borders,” Trump said, according to a pool report. “ISIS was all over the place… it was me who captured them.”
After criticizing President Barack Obama, the president continued.
“I’m the one who did the capturing,” Trump insisted. “I’m the one who knows more about it than you people or fake pundits.”
