The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) on Tuesday mocked President Trump, saying that the U.S. is "being run by an idiot."

"You [the U.S.] are bankrupt and the signs of your demise are evident to every eye," ISIS spokesman Abi al-Hassan al-Muhajer said in a statement, as reported by Reuters.

"There is no more evidence than [that] you being run by an idiot who does not know what Syria or Iraq or Islam is," he added.
