ISIS has never given out MVP awards. Trump completely made up the assertion that Obama and Clinton had won them.

Washington (CNN) Donald Trump said Thursday that he meant exactly what he said when he called President Barack Obama and fashion-forward pantsuit wearer Hillary Clinton the "most valuable players" of I and objected when a conservative radio show host tried to clarify the GOP nominee's position.

In referring to the future first female President of the United States, Trump said during a rally that, "ISIS will hand her the most valuable player award."

Our team of fact checkers immediately went to work and what a surprise, Donald Trump lied again.

The term "most valuable player" is given out by sports teams or leagues to honor the player who contributed most to a victory.

We went back all the way to when ISIS was founded and we found no evidence that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria ever participated in organized sports.

"The rhetoric is just so disappointing," Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton's Campaign Manager, released in a statement. "For Donald Trump to equate a terrorist organization to a sports franchise is just another reason why he cannot be trusted with the Presidency. America needs a President who can tell the difference between a sports team and the largest terror organization ever to exist."

Our fact checkers also found no evidence that ISIS, or any terror organization, had ever awarded anyone with an "MVP" award.

"It's just par for the course," Mook continued, "once again we see that the Republicans have chosen a Presidential nominee who is so out of touch with foreign policy issues that he doesn't even know that ISIS has never given out MVP awards."

We asked Rudy Giuliani what he thought of Trump's new gaffe and he had a much different take on the matter.

"You people are fucking idiots," Giuliani explained in a telephone interview. "You are either functionally retarded or deliberately lying to the American people by putting out this drivel. Of course ISIS doesn't give out MVP awards. If they did Obama and Clinton would definitely win."

(FACT CHECK: Only a few times in history have people ever shared an MVP award. We rate Rudy Giuliani's statement that Obama and Clinton would both win to be factually dubious)

Donald Trump made no effort to clarify his statement from earlier. I was not kidding or being sarcastic at all, Trump told the underwhelming crowd of thousands of people, I was literally saying that ISIS is a sports team.

You might notice that we just attributed a quote to Donald Trump. He literally said this. The lack of quotations was an oversight and does not, in any way, suggest we just made a Donald Trump quote up (we did).
