It appears Trump just can't please anyone these days. It would stand to reason that if Trump was indeed failing domestically, as so many of his recent polls where Trump's recent approval ratings continue to tumble would suggest, then at least America's enemies would be delighted with Trump as head of the US.

However, that appears not to be case, and not only with the country which has caused the Trump administration so many headaches, Russia - recall last week Putin spokesman Peskov blamed the current administration for relations that are "worse than the cold war"- but also with America's sworn enemy in the middle east, the Islamic State (ignoring for a minute Hillary Clinton's leaked email that ISIS was created by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, as well as the Pentagon report according to which the US "created ISIS as a tool" to overthrow Assad).

Today, in the first official remarks by the Islamic State referring to President Donald Trump since he took office, spokesman Abi al-Hassan al-Muhajer said that the United States was drowning and is "being run by an idiot", according to Reuters.

"America you have drowned and there is no savior, and you have become prey for the soldiers of the caliphate in every part of the earth, you are bankrupt and the signs of your demise are evident to every eye."

"... There is no more evidence than the fact that you are being run by an idiot who does not know what Syria or Iraq or Islam is," al-Muhajer said in a recording released on Tuesday on messaging network Telegram.

"Die of spite America, die of spite, a nation where both young and old are racing to die in the name of God will not be defeated," al-Muhajer said.

While Obama had previously been the object of much theatrical anger by the Islamic State, this is the first instance of ISIS slamming Trump, whose approval rating in Raqqa appears to be sinking as fast as in the US.

It was not clear what prompted the Islamic State's outburst: Trump has made defeating Islamic State a priority of his presidency, and is examining ways to accelerate the U.S.-led coalition campaign that U.S. and Iraqi officials say has so far been largely successful in uprooting Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria, although for now Trump's threats have been mostly confined to the realm of jawboning.

Perhaps a better question is whether like the CIA and FBI recently became every progressive's best friend after turning on Trump, so the Islamic State will suddenly find new admirers among the liberal and progressive community in the US, which may have found its latest ideological peer.
