Sarcasm, ISIS, Obama, Clinton & Rednecks

A wink is as good as a nod to a blind man, the saying goes.
Trump doesn't get to redefine words like sarcasm.
Suggesting militant ignoramus supporters of the second amendment kill Secretary Clinton was "joking." Oh wait, then he said he meant they could organize to defeat her, AFTER he loses. Right. Gotcha!  NOW I understand!
Then outright saying President Obama was the founder of ISIS. And Secretary Clinton is their MVP?
Then, when conservative radio idiot (Jo, not Pence, that's another one) Hugh Hewitt tried to help him by redirecting the narrative and give him an out, Trump doubles down reiterating his claims?
But he tweeted this morning, oh, it's CNN's fault, because their ratings suck and they're too stupid to get sarcasm!
Let me define sarcasm.

sar·casm
ˈsärˌkazəm/
noun
the use of irony to mock or convey contempt.
"his voice, hardened by sarcasm, could not hide his resentment"
synonyms: derision, mockery, ridicule, scorn, sneering, scoffing

So by that definition, the only one for sarcasm, Trump was saying Obama and Clinton are NOT the founders of ISIS, thus defending them and their work?

I've literally already run out of ways of describing Donald Trump.
I'm not sure anyone so stupid and willfully ignorant has ever been so rich, if indeed he is rich.
But the saddest part, he represents a good portion of the American electorate. Represents in a way that whether he believes what he says or not, he mimics their scared, backwoods, blissful and unknowing ignorance.
There is no excuse anymore to be stupid.
The internet reaches even the deepest darkness of the Appalachian woods, the backwoods of the bayou where Carville said they had to pump in sunlight.
Being stupid is not a badge of honor.
These people are an honest to goodness embarrassment to the nation.
Their willingness to be stupid and then try to lay claim to the moniker "real America" makes me want to actually puke.
Sadly, my heritage lays with many of these types of people.
It's one thing to be Republican.
It's another to be a fucking dumbass with a chip on your shoulder because America isn't the grass bastion of whiteness it once was.
The irony to this all is these same states, the West Virginias, Kentuckys, Mississippis, and Alabamas, among other states, are the places where the greatest percentage won't work, get welfare and government handouts, and bitch about the government trying to take away their guns, while not caring a bit about anything but why their check and foodstamps are late and why they can't get Oxy as easy as they used to be able to.
Let Trump spend a weekend with them and their kinfolk in the trailer.
We'll see which one changes their mind quickest!
