Islamic State says US ‘being run by an idiot’

The Islamic State jihadist group reportedly says the United States is in decline and “being run by an idiot.”

In the group’s first public mention of US President Donald Trump, IS spokesman Abi al-Hassan al-Muhajer says the US “is bankrupt and the signs of your demise are evident to every eye,” Reuters reports.

“There is no more evidence than (that) you being run by an idiot who does not know what Syria or Iraq or Islam is,” Muhajer says in a recording released on the Telegram messaging app.
