Trump Mocked For Repeatedly Botching Name Of ISIS Offshoot In Fox News Ramble

In a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity on Thursday, the former president claimed he’d “knocked out 100% of the ISIS caliphate” but that a “new ISIS” had formed: “ISIS-X.”

“Khorasan” is a historical term for Afghanistan and the surrounding region.   

Trump eventually got the name right. As is his tendency, however, he didn’t admit he’d botched it, instead insisting that he was predicting the future.

“They’ll have an ISIS-X pretty soon, which is gonna be worse than ISIS-K,” he told Hannity.

Critics on Twitter called him out for it:

I’m actually watching Trump on Hannity for some reason. It’s a great reminder of what kind of President we should never elect again, and what historical revision looks like.

It’s called ISIS-K, to be fair he probably never paid attention during any of his briefings

“It’s pronounced ‘ISIS-Ten, sir”
