Koppel: ‘Donald Trump Is, in Effect, the Recruiter-in-Chief for ISIS’

‘The irony is they think they’re being tough on ISIS and Trump thinks he’s being tough on ISIS’

TODD: "Yeah, you know, Ted, they’re actually very familiar. These are voters that have felt outcasted. Their parents probably felt like outcasts in the ‘60s and ‘70s during that social upheaval."
KOPPEL: "Right."
TODD: "That’s what some of this is."
KOPPEL: "But the irony is they think they’re being tough on ISIS and Trump thinks he’s being tough on ISIS. Senator Rubio in his interview with you touched on it very, very lightly. Donald Trump is, in effect, the Recruiter-in-Chief for ISIS. ISIS wants nothing more right now than to have the world divided into Judeo-Christian on one side and the Islamic world on the other. That’s exactly what Trump is doing for them. I think it’s time we start with thinking about what ISIS wants and then not doing it."
