Some of you really will suck up ANYTHING no matter how absurd, irrational, non-factual, etc. that comes of this blowhard's mouth.
ISIL originated almost 20 years ago.
That's simply a fact.

So Barack Obama was only 35 when he created ISIL? Wow, I had no idea how super influential and powerful he has always been!
The group has had various names since it was founded in 1999 by Jordanian radical Abu Musab al-Zarqawi under the name Jamāʻat al-Tawḥīd wa-al-Jihād (lit. "The Organisation of Monotheism and Jihad").[31] When in October 2004 al-Zarqawi swore loyalty to Osama bin Laden, he renamed the group Tanẓīm Qāʻidat al-Jihād fī Bilād al-Rāfidayn (lit. "The Organisation of Jihad's Base in Mesopotamia"), commonly known as al-Qaeda in Iraq or AQI.[58][59] Although the group never called itself al-Qaeda in Iraq, this remained its informal name for many years.[60] In January 2006, AQI merged with several other Sunni insurgent groups to form the Mujahideen Shura Council (MSC).[61] After al-Zarqawi was killed in June 2006, the MSC merged in October 2006 with several more insurgent factions to form a new group, ad-Dawlah al-ʻIraq al-Islāmiyah, which translates as the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI).[62] The ISI was led by Abu Omar al-Baghdadi and Abu Ayyub al-Masri,[63] who were killed in a US–Iraqi operation in April 2010, after which Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi became the group's new leader
Donald Trump is the single most Orwellian candidate ever in the history of the U.S. And the Left absolutely assists him in this endeavor.

The only thing that I can see from you is, he already lost...every single time

ISIS that we have today is the direct result of the US and it's allies actions.
That's the actual fact, and I do no understand why is it so hard to acknowledge it.
No such place as The U.S. 1400 years ago,
Absolutely, because Trump panders to ignorance and fear. The others at least made appeals to politics or patriotism or plain old populism. The others also had clear ideologies or philosophies. Trump has no such thing, he can't even be consistent with himself on the issues, because he's ill-informed and ignorant.
