Trump: ‘Oh boy, is ISIS hoping for’ Hillary

The Islamic State is hoping Americans elect Hillary Clinton president, Donald Trump said Thursday.

As he addressed the National Association of Home Builders in Miami, the Republican presidential nominee segued into a preemptive strike on Clinton, who is scheduled to speak on the economy Thursday afternoon in Michigan.


Trump said Clinton has voted for tax increases as a senator and will propose a big tax increase in her upcoming speech, “her teleprompter speech,” Trump noted.

“Her speeches are so short, though. They don’t last long,” Trump said. “You know, they’re like 10 minutes, let’s get out of here, go back home and go to sleep. Three days later, she gets up and she does another one and goes back home and goes to sleep.”

“Oh boy, is ISIS hoping for her,” he added. “Is China hoping — can you imagine China? They’d come in. You ever negotiate with the Chinese? They’re tough. They’re tough. You gotta hit them back with a lot of energy.”
